Chevron - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Effingham, Illinois

Meet The Gas Station Crew

Huck's, Casey's, QT, Pilot, 7-Eleven, Phillips 66, Jack Flash, and Chevron came to us as one unforgettable group of eight after they were found abandoned at a gas station, and now each of them is ready to start looking for a family of their own.

We estimate this crew ranges in age from about 8 months to 2 years old, with Pilot and 7-Eleven likely being the oldest of the group. They are all medium-sized mixed breeds weighing between approximately 30 and 40 pounds. As far as breed goes, your guess is probably about as good as ours. We can see hints of pittie, maybe some beagle, and likely a few other ingredients mixed in along the way.

What we know for sure is that every one of them is incredibly sweet.

Some members of the group are more outgoing, while others are a little more cautious when they first meet someone. But underneath those different personalities, they all have one thing in common: they CRAVE affection. Once they realize you are there to be their friend, they soak up the attention and seem genuinely grateful just to have someone nearby. They have already made progress in just the first couple of days! They will blossom in a home!

Because they are still young, their new families should expect to continue working on all of the normal things that come with bringing a young dog into a home, including routines, manners, leash skills, and house training. They have already been through a lot of change in a short amount of time, so a little patience while they settle into their new lives will go a long way.

These dogs arrived together under circumstances we still do not fully understand, but we do know where their stories go from here: forward.

They have all been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, heartworm tested, on flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and microchipped. Puppy adoption fees are $225 while adults are $200

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
