Things To Know Before Adopting!

ADOPTION INFORMATION

"Adopt, Don't Shop!" All adoptable animals available at Stray Haven Humane Society and SPCA are listed on petfinder.com.  You can search for each animal directly on the petfinder website by entering our zip code "14892" in the search box or view our shelter animals below!

Important Facts About Adopting from Stray Haven

- We are not able to put animals "on hold" for adoption.


- If you already own a dog and are looking to add a second dog to your family we WILL request that you bring your dog in for a meet and greet, with a copy of your dogs rabies certificate. This policy is in place to protect the adopter and adoptee.


- Our cats are housed in communal cat cages, so visitors to the shelter are allowed and encouraged to engage with our adult cats. 


- We do NOT allow visitors to engage with our dogs in their kennels and private enclosures. In an effort to allow our dogs the least stressful living situation we're capable of providing them, we only permit potential adopters to engage with our dogs either in our outdoor enclosure or our multi-purpose room. For this reason, meet and greets do require some scheduling as space and personnel are limited, while we try to be as flexible as we can, allowing our dogs to have their best chance to meet their perfect family may require a waiting period and careful consideration on our staff's part. 


- Cats and kittens will likely go home the day of adoption, for this reason, we suggest that you prepare your home in advance.  Consider having a litter box, food, bedding, and a "safe space" prior to coming to the shelter day on the adoption day. If you have any questions about how to prepare for your new pet please call, our staff is happy to help!


- Dogs will likely go home the day after their adoption has been processed. This allows you added time to prepare your home for your new pet. 


-We do often receive multiple applications for pets and in those instances staff will choose the best home to fit the animals needs. This does not mean you are ineligible for adoption, simply that this particular animal for whichever reason, might be more successful in another home.

Owner surrender information

  • Owner surrenders are accepted by appointment only.
  • Stray Haven reserves the right to deny any admission of a pet to our adoption program.
  • There is a fee associated with surrendering a pet.
  • There might be a waiting period before we have the space for a new pet; it could be weeks.
  • Priority is placed with Tioga County Residents.
  • We participate and advocate for Trap-Neuter/Spay-Release (TNR) as the most humane and acceptable method to manage feral, or poorly socialized cats.  If you have  cats that cannot be handled on your property, please contact us about getting them TNR'd.
  • Stray Haven CANNOT accept stray dogs from the public. Any stray dog is to be picked up by the Dog Control Officer (DCO) for that town. The current contact information is listed below. 


Surrendering Process:

1. Call us to discuss reason for surrendering pet; staff will inquire as to whether we can help to keep the pet in your home through a variety of options.

2. If it is decided that you still need to surrender your pet, we ill ask you to complete a surrender survey over the phone (5-15 minutes). 

3. We will schedule a follow up call with the Cat Care or Dog Care Supervisor to either schedule your surrender or place your pet on the intake waiting list. 

4. Arrive at Stray Haven for your scheduled appointment; make sure to bring all medical information; vaccines, medical history, etc. All animals will receive a behavioral evaluation before admission,  if their actions are unsuitable, they will not be accepted into our adoption program. 

5. Owners will be asked to complete a lengthy surrender packet and pay the surrender fee at this time.
