Story
Meet our precious Jewelz, a 6.5-year-old mixed breed sweetheart who is looking for a fresh start! Jewelz arrived at the shelter with her brother after their previous owner could no longer provide the care they needed. While she is adjusting to this big change, her resilient and loving spirit shines through every single day. She is a very good girl who has mastered the art of being a loyal companion, offering a perfect balance of mature calmness and genuine affection.One thing you’ll notice immediately about Jewelz is her enthusiasm for life—she is quite prone to "happy tail!" Her tail wags so hard and so often that it’s a constant reminder of her joyful personality, though her future family will just need to keep an eye on those enthusiastic thumps against doorways and walls. After a lifetime of being a devoted pet, Jewelz is ready to find a home where she can settle back into a routine, soak up all the head scratches you can give, and show you exactly why she earned her name.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
Meet Calisto — your future best friend! 🐾This handsome one-year-old Pitbull mix has come full circle and is more than ready to find the forever home he truly deserves. Born right here at the shelter, Calisto was adopted as a puppy, but through no fault of his own, he’s back with us and hoping his next family will be his last.Through it all, Calisto has stayed resilient, affectionate, and full of love. He’s at that perfect age where his playful puppy energy meets a growing eagerness to learn. He’s incredibly loyal and just wants someone to call his own — someone who means it when they say “forever.”Calisto absolutely loves other dogs and would likely enjoy a canine companion, though he’ll do best with slow introductions to help him manage his excitement. He appears to do well with kids too, but because of his energetic and sometimes jumpy nature, a thoughtful introduction is recommended.He’s still working on his manners, but don’t let that worry you — this smart boy is eager to please and ready to shine with a little guidance and consistency. With the right family, Calisto has all the potential to grow into the perfect companion.If you’re looking for a fun-loving, devoted dog who will stick by your side through everything, Calisto is waiting to meet you. 💙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
Meet our beautiful girl, Robin! At just shy of a year old, this vibrant female Pitbull mix is looking for a family that can match her zest for life. Robin actually found her way back to us because her previous home wasn't quite ready for her impressive athleticism and high energy. She is a happy, glass-half-full kind of dog who just needs a dedicated partner to help channel all that youthful spirit into the right places.Because she is still very much a teenager, Robin would do best with a family that is excited to work on her manners and provide the mental and physical stimulation she craves. She is incredibly smart and eager to please, making her a prime candidate for training sessions and long walks. If you’re looking for a loyal, active companion to grow with, Robin is ready to jump into her next adventure with you!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

In return, she’ll reward you with loyalty, laughs, and those special moments of affection that feel earned in the best way.If you’re looking for a dog with personality, charm, and a little bit of diva energy, Dee Dee Ramone might just be your perfect match.

Story
Hey there! My name’s Red. I’m a 3-year, 9-month-old guy with a whole lot of love just waiting to be shared. I ended up at Stray Haven after being found wandering the streets on my own, and no one ever came to claim me—but I haven’t let that stop me from being the happy, people-loving dog I am today. I’m up to date on my vaccinations, microchipped, neutered, and more than ready to find a home of my own!❤️ A People-Loving CompanionIf you’re looking for a loyal best friend, I’m your guy. I absolutely love people of all ages—kids, adults, everyone! Whether we’re going for long walks, hopping in the car for an adventure, or just hanging out together, I’m happiest when I’m by your side. I’ve got a fun, goofy personality too—I love playing with toys, running around outside, and making my humans smile.🏥 A Note on My HealthI do have a flea allergy, which can make me itchy if not managed. The good news? It’s super easy to keep under control! I just need to stay on year-round, vet-approved flea prevention so I can stay comfortable, happy, and itch-free.🐕 My Home PreferencesI’ll be honest—I like having my people all to myself. While I’ve done okay in some dog playgroups, I’d do best as the only pet in the home. No cats for me, please! I promise I have more than enough love and personality to fill your home all on my own.The staff here absolutely adore me, but what I really want is a family to call my own. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion who will stick by your side through everything, I might just be your perfect match.Stop by Stray Haven and meet me—I promise I’m even sweeter in person. Could it be love at first sight? ❤️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
