Our Mission Statement
To rescue the abused, abandoned, and dumped animals in the area. To provide loving care, medical attention, and socialization in as homelike an environment as possible. To provide sanctuary to those deemed "unadoptable". To educate the public on humane treatment of animals and the importance and impact of spaying and neutering dogs and cats. To do our part to put an end to pet overpopulation, abuse, and inhumane treatment of animals. Euthanasia is necessary to be humane to a pet, not to control population.
Who we are
Haven of the Ozarks Animal Sanctuary is committed to finding homes for all adoptable pets. We are a no kill pet adoption facility in Washburn, MO placing approximately 530 animals each year in to loving homes. We do not euthanize adoptable animals, and there are no time limits for animals in our care. Only animals suffering from significant medical issues or those that pose a danger are humanely euthanized. We offer lifetime sanctuary to any pet adopted from us. Haven of the Ozarks Animal Sanctuary has been serving area animals since 1995.
We are a licensed animal shelter located on 11 acres near Cassville in Southwest Missouri. Our cats live in community rooms with plenty of space to climb, play, and socialize. Our dogs live in large, outdoor pens. They enjoy access to fresh water, food, shelter, and shade, with swimming pools during warm weather.
We are a non-profit 501 c 3 organization funded through donations. We are NOT taxpayer funded.
