Please come meet this good boy who just needs a loving home with a fenced in yard. This senior guy has been at the shelter for over 288 days and deserves a home. Rupert’s estimated date of birth is Jan. 25, 2010, and he’s a brown and white Pit Bull Terrier/Shepherd mix. His favorite things in the world involve window gazing and playing tug of war with his person. Rupert was recently in a wonderful foster home and they discovered that he definitely picks his person. Even though it might take him some time to warm up to his person, when he falls in love with you all he wants to do is be by your side, be loved by you, and do everything you say. The person who found him had cats who he got along with, initially he would run after them but it turned out that all he wanted to do was give them kisses. He also adores children. He has never met a child who he did not like and is the most gentle, sweet loving boy when they are around. Rupert has wonderful manners in the home, he is house-trained but it is probably best if he had a secure outdoor area to stay in when the owner is not home because he is the proverbial “bull in a china shop” when he gets excited. The Haven is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., seven days a week. All Haven of the Ozarks pets are fixed, up to date on their vaccinations, and microchipped.
