Humane Custody definition:

Humane Custody of an animal in the United States can refer to when an animal is taken into the care of an animal shelter or other agency due to neglect, injury, or other circumstances. This is also known as protective custody. As far as we know, we are the only nonprofit animal shelter that provides this service for free in the Southern Tier for the past 11 years.

Our Humane Custody is for five days for free, giving the owners time to heal or figure out next steps for their animals, either the owner, family member or close friend can redeem the dog within the five days.

Reasons for humane custody: “For STAC”

Owner is arrested
Owner has medical emergency
Owner is displaced by fire

This very generous policy that we’ve been providing for free from the kindness of our hearts has been being abused over the past two years, hopefully things change so we don’t have to terminate this policy for the community.

Below is a picture of a dog that we had to take into our custody this morning 1/27/25… without our help who knows what would happen to this dog if left out in the cold unnoticed… please don’t ask questions about the photo because it’s a open case at the moment, we just want people to see the things we come across and offer our service for free.

Buddy’s owner isn’t coming for him. So his new name is Manny (we’ve already had a few dogs named Buddy) He is such a good boy. Manny has a scheduled neuter appointment next month. He hasn’t been dog tested yet, but we think he will do fine with those his size.

Newest kid at the shelter. Meet Nash. He’s a goofy pup (estimation 9-10 months old) who will need some obedience training. He seems to like other dogs, but hasn’t been tested with cats yet. He’d make a great hiking partner! Nash has not been neutered, yet, so he will be a foster to adopt to approved applicant. Please fill out an application at www.southerntieranimalcontrol.org 😊

UPDATE: Thank you all who participated in guessing Joby’s breeds. Here is the breakdown.
42.9% Siberian Husky
19.9% American Pit Bull Terrier
19.7% German Shepherd
17.5% Rottweiler

This was a fun!!
—————————————-

Back in September we (along with Juli Lathrop) brought Joby to our shelter. For those that don’t know his story, Joby was being dragged around Elmira with his back leg dangling, which had to be amputated.
Joby had been in his forever home for a couple of months and his adopters did a DNA test on him. Let’s have fun and take some guesses on what his mixed with.

We received a generous donation from the Horseheads Elks Lodge 2297, last month. A bit delayed as we waited for this picture. Ghost met Kathy and Steve and greeted people as they came in the door. We appreciate all that you do. Thank you, again!

Please recognize and educate yourself on the signs that dogs tell us.. obviously they can’t talk so they try to give us clues to how they’re feeling… 2024 was a record breaking year with dog bite calls to STAC.. Please educate yourself and children on dog/animal safety… let’s make 2025 a bite free year, and also please have your dogs on a leash when off your property to avoid any possible situations or accidents.

Anyone looking for a handsome, goofy boy to add to their home? Ghost was picked up as a stray back in February. He was redeemed by his owner, only to be given away and then picked up again. Ghost will need a home either without dogs or one with a female dog. No cats! A meet and greet will be required.
