Ray is a 6 year old boxer mix that has been at the shelter the longest of any of our dogs. in spite of his age, he still has a lot of energy to run and play. He has completed his training at Jeff City Correctional Center and ready to go! Here are a few things they learned about Ray. He seems to have some vision problems with his right eye. It comes from his difficult past before he came to the shelter. It is best to feed him treats from the left so he can see you clearly and get the treat and not your fingers. He LOVES a good game of fetch, but hates giving up the ball to give back to you. If you show him another ball, though, he will release the first one. He does enjoy attention and affection and readily gives affection back. He is good with people and dogs, but needs to learn to trust and take some time to warm up to strangers and new dogs. Once he does warm up, he is very attentive.
UPDATE: RAY IS CURRENTLY BACK AT JEFF CITY CORRECTIONAL CENTER IN THE PUPPIES FOR PAROLE PROGRAM AGAIN. HIS PREVIOUS HANDLER WAS INTERESTED IN GETTING HIM BACK TO GIVE HIM A BREAK FROM SHELTER LIFE AND TO BRUSH UP ON WHAT HE HAD LEARNED BEFORE. HE IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AND IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, YOU CAN DO AN APPLICATION ONLINE AT daslakeoftheozarks.com Primary Color: Brown Weight: 56 Age: 6yrs 0mths 1wks

More about this shelter
Dogwood Animal Shelter is a non-profit, no-kill shelter.
Since its infancy, compassionate, like-minded volunteers have been the driving force behind Dogwood Animal Shelter. Through auctions and sales, a handful of dedicated people raised enough money to build its first, albeit small facility and was established as a 501(c) 3 in 1976. It was filled beyond capacity almost immediately.
The shelter is funded entirely from donations and proceeds from their Dogwood Animal Shelter Thrift Store.
After years of saving, planning and busting at the seams with fur-babies, in 2005 it was time to build a new facility with their own in-house clinic! Under the direction of Dr. John Reinhold and coupled with a very dedicated and gifted team of Veterinarians and staff, Dogwood Animal Shelter continues to offer low cost spays and neuters to the public as well as services to their shelter buddies; services to approximately 2,000 dogs and cats yearly!
Dogwood Animal Shelter began their journey of being a successful no-kill shelter in 1997, and since then has saved over 40,000 lives!
