Haven of the Ozarks Pet of the Week, Nov. 6
Meet Boo Boo! She’s crate trained, housetrained and loves people of all ages. She’s good with other dogs and has already been a fun playmate for several other Haven dogs. She’s been good with cats in the shelter environment. Boo Boo would likely fit in well almost anywhere, although an active home would be her favorite. Her age is a little over a year and her weight is 47 pounds.
