Roxie
Hi everyone! My name is Roxie and I am a 12-year-old beagle mix who just arrived at Stray Haven with my friend Bailey. Bailey and I have been together for a long time and some awesome people adopted us together, but sadly it didn't work out. I was being a little troublemaker and Bailey and I weren't getting along, so the shelter decided that it would be best for everyone if I can back and took a shot at finding my own home without other pets. I wasn't a huge fan of my adopter's special needs cat, either, so that caused some issues. I really think I would do awesome in a home where I'm the only animal and I have a person that can just snuggle with me all day, I want nothing more than to be the center of attention! When I entered the previous shelter I was at my old joints were causing me some pain. The staff there said that I was very sensitive to touch around my hips. Sense then, my pain has been managed with some medication, but it is still important to be very gentle around me. If you're interested in giving me a nice retirement home to live out my golden years, stop by Stray Haven, the staff would love to tell you about me! I'll be hanging out in the office waiting to greet you!
Meghan
Well hello there all you lovely people! I absolutely adore people, I had a family, but they decided I wasn't the cat for them, I'm not going to lie, it stung. The neighbor lady was really, really kind she let me come stay with her for a little bit, but didn't have a cat friendly lifestyle, so I find myself at Stray Haven. I love to be held and loved, the shelter staff tease me with this red dot thing, I must say... I don't know why they enjoy my frustration so. I will catch and destroy that dot eventually, then I'll be the one laughing. Chin scratches and gravy treats are my favorite surprises. I'm a pretty big diva, I wil absolutely let you know when I am done being loved on and need to go adjust my fur coat. A lady doesn't keep her coat so lovely amid all of these transitions without a strict self care routine afterall. If you can respect boundaries and enjoy providing a warm lap to a plush purr machine, please feel free to come without an application. My people will review it and choose a suitable home.
We DO NOT have a veterinarian on staff and we DO NOT have 24/7 staffing. We are happy to provide resources and to accept surrendered animals with accompanying paperwork when scheduled. Abandoned animals on our property face local wildlife and dangerous weather conditions.
Similiarly, please keep in mind, before moving traps by our local Trap-Neuter-Release groups that traps are positioned for the safety of the trapped animals. Please speak to the groups trapping in your area if you have concerns. We can usually put you in touch with the groups servicing your area.
