We showed you Scar last week. He’s still available for adoption from the Effingham County animal shelter.
Scar and his buddy L.D. are male Labrador mixes that have been neutered and are up-to-date on shots. They are house-trained and can follow basic commands.
Scar is an adult, about 1 year old. L.D. has a tiny bit of gray on his snout. He is a little older than Scar.
Also available this week is Oreo, a black-and-white, female, adult cat. She is sweet, friendly and curious and loves to be held.
The fee to adopt is $50 for a dog and $40 for a cat.
The fee includes shots. Animals must receive a rabies and a “DAPP” shot — for distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza and parvovirus.
Someone who adopts can take the animal home but must agree to bring the animal back on a Monday or Thursday to get its shots.
Adopting families also must pledge to have the animal spayed or neutered within 30 days.
The shelter’s phone number is: 912-754-2109. Its Web page is: http://www.effinghamcounty.org/DepartmentsAF/AnimalShelter.aspx.
Go to the drop-down list under “Departments A-F” and go to “Animal Shelter” and then “Adoption Page” to see information about some of the dogs and cats that are available.
