About our clinics
We are currently not scheduling clinics as we are looking for a new veterinary program. We apologize for the inconvenience.
INFORMATION ON UPCOMING CLINICS
Aggressive Dog Policy: We encourage all pets to be spayed or neutered, however, the safety and well-being of our staff and volunteers are extremely important to us. If your dog shows signs of aggression we will ask that you have your pet muzzled at drop-off and remain in the parking lot until we determine your animal can be safely handled.
Cats recover in their carriers. We need cats to be brought to surgery in sanitary, hard plastic carriers. Limited, or no bedding is preferable as it can obstruct our view during recovery. Please clean your carrier PRIOR to bringing your cat for surgery.
Call, or visit, to schedule your appointment AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Dates fill up very quickly.
**Walk-ins and last-minute substitutions are not accepted.
**Payment is accepted in person, or by phone, but is NOT available online.
Important details about our clinics
-Cryptorchid pets, do have an additional fee as do pets in heat or pregnant

- If your pet is NOT UP TO DATE ON VACCINATIONS, the veterinarian will administer the vaccine at no additional cost.
-If you miss an appointment and DO NOT reach out to us we will not automatically reschedule you. You would need to schedule a new appointment and no guarantee on how quickly we can get you in.
How do our clinics function?
What do we need from you for the clinic to be successful?
- The day before your appointment, you should not give your pet food after 6 pm or water after midnight. No food on the day of surgery.
- If an animal is on medication, it is the owner's responsibility to disclose this information while signing up for the program so that we can consult the animal's vet before consulting as to whether the animal should take the medication on the day of surgery.
- All animals must be brought to Stray Haven on a leash or in a carrier. (4-6ft leashes and collars/carriers must be secured; flexi-leads are not permitted.) Please keep in mind cats will be in their carriers for extended periods, so keep your pet's comfort in mind, a clean towel and leg space is important.
- Staff will take the pet to the surgical area and the owner will be required to sign a surgical waiver, and then be given instructions for pick-up later in the day. Owners are welcome to call throughout the day to check on their pets; dogs are altered in the morning, and cats in the afternoon. All owners will be notified at the discretion of the veterinarian when the pet is available for pick-up.
- Upon discharge, staff will review instructions with you and request payment for any fees charged, i.e. ear mite treatment, flea treatment, pregnancies, etc. Pets should be kept quiet and avoid roughhousing for 7-10 days.
- Pets are tattooed after their surgery with a green line that runs parallel to a spay scar on the inside of the left leg for male dogs and on the belly for male cats. This is the universal symbol a pet has been altered in New York State.
We DO NOT HAVE A VETERINARIAN ON SITE NOR DO WE HAVE 24/7 STAFFING animals abandoned on our property face local wildlife and dangerous weather conditions. Please contact us to schedule a surrender appointment, or, in the event of an emergency, go directly to a veterinarian's office.
Similarly, 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.
