Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Big Bear's DOB is 12/14/2015 and he's a tan Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Mix. Big Bear is a GORGEOUS dog, and 100 pounds of pure love. He's friendly and walks very nicely on a leash. He loves chew toys and is treat-motivated. He already knows sit and shake! Bear is looking for a home without other dogs, but don't worry too much about his size-- he's never been reactive on walks! He also would like only kids who are teen-aged and up since he's not comfortable with the noise and activity level of small children. He's blind in one eye, but that doesn't bother him a bit! It can be a little easy to sneak up on him, so make sure to talk to him if you approach from his blind side. Come meet Big Bear at the Haven to see if he's your new best friend! His estimated DOB is 12/14/15.
All of our pets are fixed, up to date on their vaccinations, and microchipped. The Haven of the Ozarks is open from 9am-4pm, seven days a week.

Please find us on Facebook to see where we're going next! (Schedules vary)
