My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Busta Rymes! His DOB is 12/14/2021 and he's a tan German Shepherd/Labrador mix that weighs in at 60lbs. Busta Rymes has a lot of energy and loves to romp and play. He would thrive in a home that can help him burn off some energy whether it be walks on a leash or playing ball (which he loves).
Busta received training at a previous adopter and knows the commands sit, down, wait, place, and come. He is a wonderful dog, but he got returned to us because of a few incidents with some other dogs that were aggressive or on his property. His new family would need to be able to keep a close eye on him if another dog is around or if meeting a dog for the first time. He does great with kids of all ages and is house and crate trained. His estimated DOB is 12/14/21.

All of our pets are fixed, up to date on their vaccinations, and microchipped. The Haven of the Ozarks is open form 9am-4pm, seven days a week. For more information, please email us at havenozarksanctuary@gmail.com, or give us a call at 417-835-3647.

All animals are spay/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped. Cats are tested for FIV/FeLV. Declawing is not allowed on Haven adoptees. Dogs are tested for heartworms.

We believe in an open, non-judgmental adoption process. We recognize that no one is perfect and try to match a person's pet expectations so fewer pets are returned.

We invite you to come in with your family (including fur siblings) and look around. If you find a pet you like, ask staff to meet the pet. Complete the adoption application either prior to coming to the Haven or at the Haven. Ask any questions you may have. Most of our pets can go home the same day.

We do not adopt a pet to anyone under the age of 18. We will not adopt to anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol. We reserve the right not to place a pet in a home based on the information we have or if we feel it is not a match for the person's lifestyle.

We are open EVERY day of the week (holidays may vary) from 9 AM - 4 PM. No appointment is needed for adopters. No adoptions will be started after 3:45 PM.

More about this shelter

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.

Volunteers are welcome any day. Volunteers under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult. For more information visit https://www.havenoftheozarks.org/get-involved.
