Haven of the Ozarks Animal Sanctuary
Our Mission
Haven of the Ozarks Animal Sanctuary is dedicated to rescuing abused, abandoned, and forgotten animals in our region. We believe in providing a compassionate, homelike environment where every animal can thrive while waiting for their forever family.
Who We Are
Located on 11 acres in Washburn, Missouri, our non-profit sanctuary is a place of hope for animals in need. We are a dedicated no-kill facility, which means we do not use euthanasia to manage population; instead, we prioritize finding loving homes for the approximately 600 animals that come through our doors each year.
Our Commitment to Care
We believe that animals deserve the best, which is why our cats enjoy spacious, social community rooms, and our dogs have access to large outdoor pens and swimming pools during the warm months. Our facility is funded entirely by your generous donations, allowing us to provide medical care, vaccinations, and training support to every resident until they find their perfect match. We are proud to offer a sanctuary space for those animals who need extra time to find the right environment.
Find Your New Best Friend
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and we are here to help you find a furiend that complements your lifestyle. We encourage you to visit our sanctuary any day between 9 AM and 4 PM—no appointment is necessary, and you are welcome to bring your family and current pets for a meet-and-greet to ensure everyone gets along. Our team is committed to making the transition into your home a positive and successful experience for everyone involved.
Get Involved
Whether you are looking to adopt, volunteer, or simply share a happy story about a past adoption, we want to hear from you.
