Coles County Animal Shelter

"Effingham Animal Rescue Sanctuary, also known as EARS, was founded in January 2010 by dedicated volunteers who thought that raising awareness of responsible pet ownership would help to reduce the number of animals put to death in our neighborhood.

Our 501(c)(3) non-profit organization's mission is to rescue abused, neglected, and abandoned animals in and around Jasper County and place them in a secure foster home until a permanent home can be found.
