This handsome and friendly soul is named Draco Malfoy. He is a happy-go-lucky-guy that would love a forever home. He is about 7-1/2 years old and been at the shelter for over 2 years. This joyful dog would make a great companion for anyone who is looking for a dog that loves to play and loves attention. He can get jealous for attention when other dogs are around. He would do well playing with other dogs but his home will ideally be just for him. He should not be around cats but does great with children. The Haven is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day, or people may call 417-835-3647. Contributed photo
