We Can't Do This Without You
At the Effingham County Humane Society, your support helps us provide a safe and healthy environment for the animals in our care.
Without you, we wouldn’t be able to provide the necessary food, shelter, and health care that saves lives. Whether it is a one-time donation, gift, or sponsoring an animal, your contribution makes our work possible! Your support helps provide:
enrichment
Happy animals are less stressed, which increases the likelihood of adoption.
medical care
Proper medical equipment ensures better health and survival for the shelter pets.
essentials
Food, water, beds, cleaning supplies and other essential items help the functionality.
shelter support
Financial Assistance is critical to overall success of the Effingham County Humane Society.
Sponsor a Pet
We understand you can’t adopt every animal that pulls on your heartstrings, but you can help with the adoption of a homeless pet that needs you. Sponsoring a pet is a great way to help us provide food, care, and housing for a pet while they are waiting for their forever home. By sponsoring a pet you can provide a one-time or monthly donation to ensure that the needs of that pet are met.
Are you interested in sponsoring a pet? You can sponsor any adoptable pet at ECHS.

Make a Difference
WE CAN’T DO THIS WITHOUT YOU!
Each year, your support and contributions enable us to save more than 4,000 deserving pets so that when all other doors close, ours remain open to help animals get their second chance. We hope you will consider leaving a lasting legacy by placing Effingham County Humane Society in your long-term plans, such as gifts made in your will and/or trust, a gift of life insurance, or inclusions into your retirement plan assets. Your gift will help ensure that the shelter and its care for animals continue in the years ahead.
