Haven of the Ozarks Pet of the Week, Sept. 9
Hi, I’m Tristan! I’m a spirited 4-month-old black and red terrier with a whole lot of personality packed into my pint-sized 6.5-pound frame. I’m adventurous and friendly, and I’m already proving to be a great buddy for cats — so I’ll fit perfectly into homes with feline friends. My adoption fee is $150, and I’m ready to bring fun and energy to your family. Adopters can complete an application at www.havenoftheozarks.org/adopt. No appointment is needed.
