Stray Haven is a Humane Society dedicated to ensuring the protection of animals through education and service.
Stray Haven was founded in 1967 by Elaine Forkan. We started as a volunteer based nonprofit group. In the early days we used an old O'Brian's smokehouse to shelter the lost animals. Stray Haven became a 501 (c)(3) in 1971 when we moved to our current location. We have been a no kill animal shelter since 2011.
Stray haven has been proudly serving Tioga County NY and the Greater Valley area for more than 50 years! Thanks, in no small part, to our amazing volunteers and dedicated staff. Through generous donations we are able to provide educational programs and short-term residential care for adoptable animals all to ensure the protection of animals in our area. We believe strongly in our no-kill policy which means fundraising relentlessly to cover medical and hygiene costs for our animals as we seek to pair them with their perfect home.
