Meet sweet Jency. She is a mixed breed pup. Her DOB is 6/18/25. Sadly, Jency and her 4 siblings were dumped at an apartment complex. They are receiving the love and care they need now at the Haven, but they deserve a better life with their own family. Haven of the Ozarks is celebrating 30 years of love, stories and second chances! All adoptions in October are $30. Can’t adopt? Donate $30 at www.havenoftheozarks.org/donate. 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.

Flounder is an energetic, friendly girl. Her date of birth is is April 17, 2023. She is a hound mixed breed. She has lived with cats, dogs and kids and likes them all. She knows basic commands, likes car rides, likes the water, walks well on a leash and does good being groomed. Flounder needs a fenced yard or to live full time inside, otherwise she is a Girl On the Run. She would be a fabulous pet for an active family.
