Meet Yosemite Sam, the Haven of the Ozarks Pet of the Week! Sam is a beautiful, devoted, and friendly dog who would love a family of his own. He does well with people of all ages and other dogs of all sizes. He is, however, a livestock and chicken chaser, so the farm life probably isn’t for him. Sam can also jump a standard fence and will need supervised playtime when outdoors. He’s a happy boy who will make every day better for his lucky adopter. People can meet him at the Haven open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day or call 417-835-3647 for more information!

The top sellers included, from left, Rusty Pendergraft, Timmy Miller, Johnny Henry, Chuck Edie and Eric Lassiter. Democrat file photo
