Story
From a volunteer who has spent time with Johnny Ramone:"Johnny is a neutered male pit mix (current on his vaccinations) who is visually impaired, approximately 4-5 years old, and is the sweetest boy. Johnny came to Stray Haven in August with a couple of other dogs he was on the lam with. Sadly Johnny is still waiting to find a forever home.My granddaughter was helping this summer when I first took Johnny out. She said of all the shelter dogs she met Johnny was her favorite. Once you meet Johnny it's not hard to know why. To know Johnny is to love Johnny. Johnny and I took walks and visited new and old friends at Home Central and Hair Designs. Johnny charmed everyone he met. He walks nicely on a leash. Even when he got interested and distracted by clucking chickens and a crowing rooster he was easily redirected by voice. Johnny would love to meet you and show you all his charms. All you have to do is visit Stray Haven Humane Society in Waverly during their open hours, no appointment necessary.Stray Haven194 Shepard RoadWaverly, New York 14892Hours:Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri 10-5Sat and Sun 10-4Stray 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 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.Dog meets have not gone well with the resident dogs so I would say he is dog selective. This may be due to him still settling in but he doesn't appear to appreciate anyone who challenges his space. The shelter was told he participated in playgroups in the southern shelter so a dog friend is not out of the question! 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 the former foster family:"He came in with the name Macho but likes to be called Bud. He’s great with female dogs, he needs to be the only male dog in the house. He’s good with cats, house bunnies, chickens and ducks. He’s housebroken, knows several commands, and crate trained. I have an injured chicken in the house and they sleep together. He’s such a sweet boy. My vet and I decided he’s probably 4-5 years old. He isn’t really gray and he’s much too limber and active to be a senior pooch."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
