Haven of the Ozarks Pet of the Week, March 20

March 19, 2024

Fiber deserves a home! He has been in shelter for over 765 days. Fiber is a handsome, playful dog who came to the Haven from the city of Monett after being abandoned. Fiber is a happy, loyal guy, whose favorite games are fetch and tug-of-war. He does a good job on walks but does pull a bit, so between that, his slightly-sassy attitude, and his energy levels, the Haven thinks he’d do best in a home with older kids. He might take some time to warm up to the men in his new family, but this good boy will do literally anything for bacon. He doesn’t get along with cats and will need to meet any potential dog siblings before he goes home. He is a lab/pit bull terrier mix born May 12, 2021. The Haven is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., seven days a week. For more information, people may email havenozarksanctuary@gmail.com, or call at 417-835-3647. Contributed photo
