Stray Haven Humane Society & SPCA, Inc.

Stray Haven is a small, private Humane Soceity that operates in the rural area of Tioga County, NY. Although we are out "in the sticks" we offer only the most modern services to the public. Unlike many shelters, Stray Haven employs a staff with many years of experience in all areas of animal care and handling. All employees are trained in safe animal handling and all are educated on animal behavior. This offers the public the rare opportunity to ask questions and get real answers about available animals. Stray Haven has an active adoption program, animal cruelty investigation, humane education, low income spay/neuter clinic, stray cat alteration service, pet therapy and low cost obedience classes for the public. Our animals come from owners who can no longer keep their pet or are picked up by Tioga County dog control officers and brought to our shelter. We hold all stray animals for 5 days.

If stray animals are not claimed by their previous owners, we begin the process of determining if they can be put up for adoption. Dogs are put through a series of temperament testing to determine adoptablity and what kind of home they would be best suited for. Once the testing is complete they are scheduled for a spay/neuter surgery if needed. Cats are given enough time to settle into a new environment and are then tested for socialblity with humans, cats and dogs. Once a cat is spayed or neutered, it is put into a community cage with other cats. Our community cages are set up like small apartments. Adopters are able to enter these cages to interact with the cats. This helps adopters to see the personality of the individual cats in hopes to find the right match for their family.
