Ozark Dogs

Please keep in mind that adopting a dog that is in rescue is still saving a life, because when we are 'full' we cannot take the next dogs that are going to be euthanized because we won't have room. Adopting a dog that is not 'urgent' is still saving the life of one that is.

We need good people to foster as well as adopt.

Ozark Dogs has been rescuing, vetting and then placing puppies and dogs since 2003. Our primary rescues are Great Pyrenees, Anatolian Shepherds, Komondors and mixes of those; although occasionally we will rescue and place other large breed and livestock guardian dogs. Our goal is to do the very best for the dog or puppy. We feed quality food along with supplements, spay/neuter, provide immunizations, and de-worm. On adult dogs we test for Heartworm, Ehrlichia & Lymes to insure current health. When needed we socialize and work on basic training & housetraining . (Other testing or x-rays are done only at adopters specific request). Each adoption application is carefully reviewed to insure appropriate placement. Our priority is the welfare of the dog. A family may be wonderful and perfect for many dogs. Our decisions are based on matching the dog to the families dynamics and lifestyle and the love they have to offer.

You will find the link to our online adoption application on our website adoption page and also a link to the adoption agreement you would be asked to sign if approved. Adoption fees vary but do not exceed $250. Often times on older dogs going to senior citizens or the disabled, adoption fee is waived.

Transportation: It will be the adopters responsibility, both financially and logistically to get the dog or pup. We will assist in arrangements, however the ultimate burden rests on the adopter.
