Haven of the Ozarks Pet of the Week, Jan. 24
Frank has been in the shelter over 280 days and needs to find a home. Before arriving at the Haven, he had been shot in the face, but he is perfectly fine now. Frank is a sweet, mellow dog who would do well in any home. He can start out a little nervous when he first meets you but has never shown an ounce of hostility towards anyone or anything! Frank loves to have his ears scratched, is house trained and great riding in the back of a car.
