Story
Ghost has not had a great start to his life. He requires to be the only pet in the home. He probably shouldn't be around kids(at least to start) and he really dislikes cats. He has been at the shelter for over a year. He has been slowly working on his manners. He is looking for someone to be his partner in crime. He is sooo lovable and gentle. Currently, we are working on walking him with other dogs. He LOVES to play ball and go for a walk.

Stiles came in with Murdock. Stiles would need a meet and greet. He needs some help with his manners but he is ready to help keep you warm and busy. He loves to play ball. He is VERY shy until he gets to know you.

Story
From Jethro's temporary foster family:"Jethro is a big, beautiful, young male pit mix. He is neutered, current on his immunizations, and has been vet-checked. He is a little timid and apprehensive due to all the changes in his life but has settled in well. Jethro is a large dog and a strong puller when excited. He gets supercharged by the smells and sounds of wildlife. I have used a leash wrap harness on him which helps a lot when he does start to pull.Jethro keeps his kennel space very neat and clean and doesn't seem to have separation anxiety. He does silly little puppy jumps when greeting me and appears to understand his size and not jump with paws up unless I am seated. He loves butt rubs!! We are working on waiting to go through doors since he started trying to rush through. He is doing very well with this! Also with sitting to wait for a treat that he takes gently. He is great at this!!Jethro would be a very loyal loving companion for someone willing to put in the love and time to work with him. If you are looking for a handsome macho man with a soft sensitive side and some silliness thrown in I think Jethro could be the one for you ❤."Stray Haven194 Shepard RoadWaverly, New York 14892Hours:Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri 10-5Sat and Sun 10-4Stop in during our open hours.No appointment needed.Stray Haven Humane Society & SPCA194 Shepard Rd., Waverly, NY 14892(607) 565-2859, www.strayhavenspca.org Open hours:Tuesday-Friday 10am-5pmSaturday-Sunday 10am-4pmClosed on Mondays

Story
𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐁𝐮𝐝'𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲:"Bud is such a sweet boy. I fostered him for a while. Unfortunately, he doesn’t like other male dogs.He’s great with female dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens and ducks. I miss him. Housebroken, crate trained, leash trained, and listens well. He really deserves a furever home."𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐬:"Macho (Bud) is listed as 10 years old but he's a young 10 with plenty of energy and life left in him. He appears to be in very good health, neutered, and up to date on all his shots. All he needs now is for someone to adopt him.For a boy from the south, the cold and snow don't seem to stop him from enjoying his walks. He is a large boy and pulls some on the leash but is very voice and treat responsive. Bud certainly loves his treats and will quickly sit and shake for one that he takes politely. He loves car rides but does show some anxiety with mild whines, going window to window to check where we are going. Bud seemed to prefer riding in the back so he could look out all around. He is friendly with all, especially if they have treats to share." .....𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨:Macho (Bud) is a 10-year-old pitbull mix who spent time in foster care after arriving at Stray Haven. Before that, he was in an animal shelter in Florida awaiting a forever home when the hurricanes hit and he had to be relocated to NY. While in his foster home, it was discovered that Bud does well with all sorts of animals but wants to be the alpha male. This boy would do best in a home without any other male dogs. According to his former foster family, Bud is housebroken, crate-trained, and knows several commands. He is a senior pup, but don’t let that stop you. He is in good health and he is an active boy. Stop in and meet Bud if you think he might be a good addition to your home......𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝟏𝟗𝟒 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐲, 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐘𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝟏𝟒𝟖𝟗𝟐 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬: 𝐓𝐮𝐞/𝐖𝐞𝐝/𝐓𝐡𝐮/𝐅𝐫𝐢 𝟏𝟎-𝟓 𝐒𝐚𝐭 & 𝐒𝐮𝐧 𝟏𝟎-𝟒 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬.

Story
From one of our volunteers after spending some time with Red:"It was Red's turn today to have a day out. Red is an adult male who has been calling Stray Haven his home for a while now. When he first came to the shelter the staff felt he was shy but there wasn't much shyness shown today in meeting people. I would say he has come out of his shell. He soaked up all the pets and love he could and people commented on how handsome he is. He walked quite well on the leash for a big strong dog and only really pulled when he saw squirrels teasing him. He knows sit and takes a treat gently although the kennel says he can be somewhat food-possessive in the shelter. Red and I did walks and visited Home Central and Hair Designs in Owego. He really enjoyed the attention he got from new friends. If you would like to meet Red to see if he's the one for you visit Stray Haven Humane Society in Waverly, NY anytime during open hours, no appointment necessary. Red would love to show you how special he is. This two-year-old boy is neutered, current on his vaccinations, and ready to find a home.Stray Haven194 Shepard RoadWaverly, New York 14892Hours:Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri 10-5Sat and Sun 10-4.....Hello! I’m Red. I may be a little shy at first, but once I get to know you, I’m very friendly. I’m still young and full of energy, always ready for a game of fetch or a good run around the yard. I learn something new every day, and I'm excited to discover even more with you. I'm a good listener and eager to please. All I need is someone to help me come out of my shell and show me the world. By adopting me, you will gain a loyal friend and a cuddly companion. I promise to make every day brighter with my playful spirit and unconditional love.Stray Haven Humane Society & SPCA194 Shepard Rd., Waverly, NY 14892(607) 565-2859, www.strayhavenspca.org Open hours:Tuesday-Friday 10am-5pmSaturday-Sunday 10am-4pmClosed on Mondays

Story
Hey there, I'm Brooklyn! My days are filled with joyful leaps, bounds, and tail-wagging fun. I’m an athletic girl with a knack for high jumping so I'll always keep you on your toes. But don't worry, I'm just as goofy and playful as I am athletic. I’m working hard on basic obedience skills and learning to walk nicely on a leash. After a day of play, there's nothing I enjoy more than cuddling up close. I love kids, I have a small group of dog friends, and cats? Well they're an absolute NO, that’s okay though, because mostly, I’m all about me and YOU! I'm a loyal friend who's always up for new adventures and experiences. If you're looking for a playful, energetic, and loving friend, I'm your girl. Come and meet me today!

Story
Grace is a quiet, well-mannered girl with a soft heart and a gentle soul. She’s a bit reserved at first, but once she warms up to you, she’ll be your calm and loyal companion.

Story
Murdock was found with another dog, Stiles. He needs someone who can help him with his manners and has time to throw the ball. He is very loving once he gets to know you! Come meet him at the shelter. He would do best with someone who can handle a larger dog as he is not good on the leash... YET.
