Floyd

Labrador Retriever Mastiff

Male, 6 yrs

Effingham, IL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Floyd lived his first four years in a kennel too small for him, barely ever getting out of it. He's learning how to be loved in his foster home, and has come such a long way. He's a Lab and Mastiff mix who is almost 5 years old now. There's still a road ahead of dedication and training that he'll need, so we're searching for the right family that will be able to give him just that kind of love. Floyd is treat motivated, so he's responsive to training; but, does need to eat and drink separate from others, or needs to be the only pet in the home. He LOVES to play and run, and is a super toy chewer dog! His foster family is slowly getting to cuddle with him. It's all new to him so patience, understanding and love is the key to this fellow's heart. As are all EARS dogs, he is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and currently receiving monthly prevention for flea/tick and heartworm. If you're the right family for Floyd, please submit an adoption application via our website, www.effinghamanimalrescue.com.

Copper

Australian Cattle Dog

Male, 9 yrs 7 mos

Effingham, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Copper, a 9-yr old heeler mix, is looking for a new forever home. He knows basic commands like sit and shake, and is still playful but loves to lay on the couch and nap with you too. Copper gets along with other dogs, and doesn’t mind cats inside but is more curious about them outside. We think a home with older children who have dog experience would be best, as he's getting a little feisty in his old age. Copper has developed a bit of loud noise anxiety, and his foster family is working through it with him. He's an awesome dog looking for a place to chill. As are all EARS dogs, he is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm tested and on monthly preventatives for heartworm and flea/tick.If you'd like add Copper to your family, please submit an adoption application via our website, www.effinghamanimalrescue.com.

Frisco

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 2 yrs 6 mos

EFFINGHAM, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Frisco is a sweet and energetic goofball! He is full of kisses and wants nothing more than to roll around and play! His most favorite thing in the world are ball toys! He is a super chewer, and can't enough of chasing a ball around the yard. He is about a year and half old and we believe he was once potty trained in his former home. Frisco does not like cats, but we are told he does ok with other dogs, but that has not been our experience. He does seem to like female dogs more so than male dogs, but we feel he needs to be the only animal in the home for everyone’s safety. While Frisco wouldn’t necessarily start a dog fight, he absolutely would finish it if another dog challenged him. Given his big head, muscles, and propensity to throw his weight around all willy nilly, we suggest that if you have children in your life that they be older kids (12+) that don't mind getting knocked down every now and again as he plays. A little consistency and daily play time will go a long way with this sweet boy. He LOVES car rides! He would make a great travel companion. If intereseted in meeting Frisco please fill out our adoption application that can be found on our website at effinghamcountyhumanesociety.orgHis adoption fee is fully sponsored and this includes his neuter, vaccinations, microchip, monthly flea/tick prevention and heartworm prevention.

Lottie

Great Pyrenees

Female, 4 yrs 8 mos

Effingham, IL

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Lottie is one of our longest residents here at ECAC. This girl has been at the shelter for 8 months and we cannot believe no one has scooped her up. Lottie is the BEST girl. She is the sweetest girl to her people and all of us here at ECAC absolutely adore her. She is a 3-4 year old Great Pyrenees. She is completely house trained and does well with cats. Her favorite toys are the smallest squeaky toys that she loves to throw into the air and around the room. When she gets excited she prances around the room and loves to play a game of catch me if you can with her people 😂 She absolutely loves to be brushed and will sit there for hours enjoying her best life. All in all Lottie is the best girl... however she does have some quirks that come with her. Lottie came to us after living with an older gentleman. It was always just the two of them so unfortunately she wasn't socialized properly. Being a Great Pyrenees it is in her DNA to guard so she tends to stick close to her people. You can always find her close by and she loves to lean up against her person for pets 🩷 Lottie does well meeting new people without "her" people being around so a special meet and greet with her could be arranged. Lottie needs a home with very low traffic or a home where she could be put up when company comes over.

EFFINGHAM, IL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Dwight was originally adopted as a puppy and sadly returned to the shelter after a year. He is looking for a new furever family that won't give up on him. He is a large dog and guessed to be some sort of lab mix with a curly tail. His a little unsure of being back in the shelter and very sad. However, he seems very happy to see us when we greet him in the morning! He is used to living indoors and was likely potty trained before being returned. He does need to learn some manners and leash training, but since he is so treat motivated, it shouldn't take long to catch on with a patient and consistent owner. He is still very young for his size, and needs a somewhat active family willing to play and exercise him every day. He is such a cool dog. If interested in adding him to your family, please fill out our application on our website at effinghamcountyhumanesociety.org
