Stray Haven Humane Society and SPCA of Waverly, NY is looking to diversify our Board of Directors. Currently the Board of Directors are especially interested in seeking new recruits with experience related to finance (particularly those familiar with non-profit accounting), law, and veterinary science. All applicants with a passion to help the organization accomplish its mission will be considered; the board has multiple openings and devotion to the cause matters. The mission of your county shelter is to prevent cruelty or neglect, partner with law enforcement to enforce humane laws, educate the public regarding animal welfare, and generally provide resources for all companion, working, and wildlife animals within Tioga County.
As the only no-kill animal shelter within Tioga County operating primarily through donations, board members are expected to contribute their experience, their time, and/or financially to allow for the progression of the organization.

Jen, originally from Rochester, NY, graduated from Cornell University ('98 B.S. Animal Science), SUNY-College of Environmental Science and Forestry ('01 M.S. Ecology), and received her M.B.A. in 2011 (University of Phoenix). She joined our team as the Executive Director in May of 2019 after and long, successful career in animal welfare, with Best Friends Animal Society, as Director of Animal Control with Kern County, and Vice President of Training Programs with the "Dog Whisperer," Cesar Millan. She and her husband, a former Animal-Control Officer for Los Angeles County, ran a cage-free dog boarding and training business for nearly 4 years in San Francisco's East Bay. The couple returned to the Southern Tier in late 2018 where they opened Red Maple Dog Care and Training in Spencer, NY. Jen, her husband, 5 dogs, and cat have made this area their home.
Stan is a lifelong resident of the Valley. Upon graduating from high school, he and his parents owned and operated a successful retail business in downtown Sayre for a number of years. After they closed the store, Stan worked for Waverly School District, spending summers working at residential summer camps for special needs children. For the last 22 years Stan has been employed at ARC of Chemung in a variety of positions, most recently supervising the day habilitation program.
Irene co-owns WEBO, your hometown radio with her husband Dave. When she isn't taking care of her five children, dogs, and business she chooses to use her position in the community to help the disadvantaged.
Aaron is the Vice-President of Operations for SaveAround. He is a life long resident of the Valley. When he isn't training his own German Shepherds, or trying to keep his rescue kitten from causing mayhem, he is often working hand-in-hand with management to help the shelter reach it's goals.
Corinne is a sixth grade teacher and librarian who has lived, worked, and volunteered within Tioga County her whole life. She began with Stray Haven the summer of 2019; fostering, volunteering for events and clinics, and eventually joining the Board of Directors. You will often see her on the weekends or after school, spoiling the animals by slipping them extra toys and treats (Sam and Amber are aware). She has a bassett hound (Bo) and three cats (Phoebe, Lucille, and Aries, the foster fail) of her own, but if ever they're the only animals in her care you'll find her at the shelter pestering the staff for more.
Preston has been the Vice President of Development and Donor Relations for ACHIEVE since 2018, with a prior 10 years experience working in a nonprofit. When he's not working, he can be found with his family, including his cat and dog, enjoying music or playing bass in The Kitchen Sink Band.
John comes to us from the Animal Care Sanctuary, retired and a devoted grandpa, John has been gracious enough to help Stray Haven improve our infrastructure and safety plans.
