Week of 12/3/06 Humane Happenings

The latest Sierra County Humane Society, Inc. newsletter – HUMANE NEWS – “The Year 2006 In Review” is now completed – a little late compared to the past years, but the editor has the perfect excuse: a computer not willing to cooperate. It will soon be printed and sent in the mail, hopefully before the Christmas rush. We trust that our members and supporters – over 500 strong now, local folks and those from out-of-the-area – consider renewing their membership and/or sending - soon - their yearly donation to our 501-C-3 non-profit organization. We are a small, very active animal welfare organization that depends on the support of the community as well as of animal loving folks across the country to continue its good work in helping domestic animals down-on-their-luck.

Ed and Camille Pronovost have now left Desert Haven. This very congenial RV’ing couple had heard about us while traveling across the USA and decided to stop at the DH campground for a couple of days on their way to Tucson. In the end, they had stayed two weeks, and everyone wished they would stay much longer. While Ed and Forrest donated money to purchase and time to assemble a much needed shed (that shed was quite a wonderful surprise – and so appreciated!), Camille was writing about Desert Haven on the couple’s web site.

And what a great job she did! Thanks a million, Camille. This truly special couple will be remembered fondly and everyone hopes that Ed and Camille will return this coming Spring, on their way back East from Tucson.

“The Grinch” has made its presence known once again at Paws & Claws thrift shop. If you have furniture, large or especially valuable items, please, either drop them off during business hours – Wed 1PM-4PM, Thu 10-3, Fri 10-4, or Sat 10-3, or give us a call at 894-2639 or 894-2778, before you decide to leave them in front of the shop. Paws & Claws has been operating since 1998, and this year has been the hardest hit by “The Grinch”, who operates in broad daylight.

Many thanks for your donations of pet food, Barbara Dreyfus, Jody & Terry Shields, Tom & Madelyn Liddy, and Bill & Mary-Jane Clellan. We always need canned dog and cat food, as well as dog treats, helpers at Paws & Claws & Desert Haven. Contact us at 505-894-2778, or visit Desert Haven on Tuesday.
