Story
Sadie is a sweet and loveable girl. She is approx. 3-4 yrs old and weighs about 45-50 lbs, short and stout. Sadie loves to play tug of war, she usually wins. She especially loves squeaky toys. The squeakers are her favorite. Its great fun to Rip those squeakers out! She's a power chewer and mouthy at play, she loves a good bully stick. She is able to play with a companion, but is also able to quietly entertain herself. Sadie will grab your sleeve when she wants attention, this usually means pet me or lets wrestle! She seems good with other dogs, but wants to be alpha with other females. I have not cat tested her, but its a safe bet she wouldn't be good with cats. But it is always possible she would be fine. She is pretty good on a leash and enjoys a nice walk. Sadie is crate trained and housebroken. Upon adoption, she will come with a spay certificate to be used locally. This covers the cost of the required spay. Please email for an application, this darling girl is ready to go home! ****Please check ordinances pertaining to Pitbull ownership in your city before inquiring. Just to save on the disappointment.

Story
This handsome hunk is Deeks. If you love the breed, this is your baby. This strapping young man is only about a year old. He has lived his life inside and is potty trained. Deeks knows a few basic commands. He really has the nicest coat. He looks like a black and white pittie. But get him in the sun and he turns brown, lol. This big, sweet lover is eager to please and a very happy fellow. He was raised inside a home and is potty trained and has good house manners. He adores children as he has grown up with two. He is not good with cats though, its just too much fun to chase them. He got in trouble for chasing the neighbors cattle. So he may not be the best farm boy there ever was. He is better suited for city life. But he sure misses having a family. When adopted, Deeks will come with a neuter certificate that covers all the cost. He will also have his rabies vaccination, wormed and a preventative as well. If you are interested in meeting this sweet lug, please email for an application. He really is the Best Boy, dont miss out! **Please check ordinances pertaining to Pitbull ownership in your city before inquiring. Just to save on the disappointment.

Story
Andrew is a energetic lab mix that is looking for an active home. He loves to go on walks and get lots of exercise. He is used to living outdoors, but he would love to be a couch snuggle buddy as well. He is ""beautiful"" on car rides. He has been with dogs similar in size in the past and done well but he is particularly fond of small dogs. Any potential adopter will need to introduce any current dogs to Andrew at the Haven ahead of time. After spending some time in a foster home recently, we learned that Andrew is housetrained! He didn't make any messes when left alone - no pottying in the house, or chewing on things. He was a great house guest! He also was totally fine seeing the other dogs there unless they were bothering him while he was in his kennel. He liked hanging out in his crate and we think he'd benefit from having one in his home (he'll go into it as he pleases if the door is left open). Andrew really really loves playing fetch, but can be a little rough when it's time to play! Older children would do better with Andrew's high energy.His estimated DOB is 1/1/18, he weighs about 60 pounds.All of our pets are fixed, up to date on their vaccinations, and microchipped. The Haven of the Ozarks is open form 9am-4pm, seven days a week.

Story
Dawn (who knows the name Lucy) is a sweet girl. She was adopted back in 2016, but her owner could no longer care for her due to divorce and change of job. While in the home, she became very attached to the children and would not leave their side. She was accustomed to being groomed and having her nails trimmed. She loves to be wherever the people are and would prefer a home where she is not alone too often. She really wants a home where she can be an indoor dog, but with outdoor playtime. She is scared of big dogs but loves small dogs and is very protective of them. She can easily climb a chain link fence and knows how to wiggle her way off a cable, so a privacy fence or supervised outdoor time is needed.D.O.B 2-11-11 Weight 47 lbsAll of our pets are fixed, up to date on their vaccinations, and microchipped.

Story
Carousel, now knows the name Jersey, was adopted from the Haven as a puppy. She and that family had a wonderful bond. It is through no fault of her own that she is back at the sanctuary and looking for another home. She has been around children ages three and up, and done well with them. She should not live with cats because she plays too rough around them, and she should meet any new dogs before going home with them. She is house trained, and likes to sleep on couches. Her favorite toys are plastic bottles, stuffed animals, inflatable beach balls, and large sticks. The smaller the dog, the more Carousel likes it! Her date of birth is 8/12/15 and she weighs 65 pounds. All of our pets are fixed, up to date on their vaccinations, and microchipped. The Haven of the Ozarks is open form 9am-4pm, seven days a week.

Story
Jello is a beautiful red female pitbull who was brought to us when she was going to be put down at another shelter. While at a foster home recently, it was reported back that she is shy but incredibly loyal. She very quickly became a velcro dog seeking out love and affection and returning it tenfold. She did well in her crate and slept quietly through the night. She does have energy so would do great with a family that will take her for walks or spend time playing with her each day. Her estimated DOB is 4/2/19 and she weighs about 51lbs.All of our pets are fixed, up to date on their vaccinations, and microchipped. The Haven of the Ozarks is open form 9am-4pm, seven days a week.
