Meet Ward! Ward is a gorgeous brindle Shepherd mix with an estimated date of birth of May 5, 2016. He is a happy go lucky boy who is accustomed to leash walks, crate trained, likes other dogs (but we think he would do best in a home with older dogs or calm dogs. He doesn’t seem to be a fan of smaller dogs). He doesn’t like sharing food so would need to be fed separately. Ward knows commands such as sit. and shake. There is nothing this boy won’t do for a treat. Although he isn’t a pup anymore, this boy has quite the playful side, but he also enjoys being a couch potato. His ideal family will be gentle with him. He recently spent time in a foster home and does well with kids of all ages. He made himself right at home in her room in fact! He would be best in a home with no cats. His adoption fee is just $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.
