Clay County Animal Rescue & Shelter (CCARS)

The Effingham County Humane Society's mission is to lessen animal suffering in our community by encouraging responsible pet ownership, which includes spaying and neutering pets, proper pet identification, good pet care, and the high-quality adoption of stray animals.

"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.

Since 1973, the Wayne County Humane Society has provided shelter for stray animals.

All animals are loved and deserving of a good existence. They are members of the family, not a pet!

We are a tiny shelter with just a handful of staff members. Please give us some time. Please keep in mind that each animal only has one available home, which is unfortunate.
