Senior Dog Spotlight! Ward is a brindle Shepherd born about May 5, 2016. Ward has spent 9 years in the shelter and he truly deserves a loving home before winter arrives. He is a happy go lucky boy who is accustomed to leash walks and is crate trained. He does okay with other dogs, preferably older and larger in size. No cats preferably. He doesn’t like sharing food so would need to be fed separately. Ward knows commands, “sit,” “up,” and “shake.” There is nothing this boy won’t do for a treat. His ideal family will be gentle with him. He spent time in a foster home and does well with kids of all ages. Senior pet adoption rates are $25. Adopters can complete an application at www.havenoftheozarks. org/adopt. No appointment is needed. 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.
