Happy belated Birthday, DiAnna and George Schnetzer, February 6 and 10, respectively. DiAnna & George Schnetzer are strong supporters of The Sierra County Humane Society & Desert Haven Animal Refuge and thanks to their generosity, the indoor-outdoor kennels, Cat Patio & Howdy Room now have easy-to-clean cement floors with appropriate drainage. What a difference it makes!
With the cement work done, Walt Allen in hanging back the kennels’ gates that George Schnetzer cut down to size so they can fit over the new floors. Once Gene Trelewicz has completed the several Cat Walkways and Jack Gillem’s kitty hide-outs are painted and installed, the felines of the Cool Cat Neighborhood will have many new interesting “high” places to investigate at their leisure.
Last Tuesday’s meal was a success - thanks to Jeanette Galliard’s Italian stuffed shells, Roy Lucas’ hot chili, and Kathy Stoud’s Chinese stir-fry, among other tasty dishes - something for everyone’s taste!
Two small Hatch flood canine victims are ready for adoption: Taco, a black terrier-Chihuahua male and Belle, a terrier mix. They are lifelong lap-dog buddies in need to be adopted, hopefully together. Urchin, a female miniature poodle, was rescued during one of the coldest cold spells in Sierra County’s history. It is obvious that little Urchin lived on her own for some time before being rescued, as she was very traumatized by her ordeal. Thanks to a caring foster mom, Urchin is well on her way to full recovery. If you wish to check-out Taco, Belle and Urchin, also Indy, Bessie, Bud, Lucky, Chowder, Sassy, Vickie, Hammy, Marshall and Maxwell, and our gang of 25 kitties, visit DH on Tuesday or by appointment at 894-2778.

We have three dogs adopted from Desert Haven. One we have had for over three years and two little sisters we adopted at different times. One over a year ago and the other just last year. Desert Haven has a great volunteer crew who all have the same interest... the well being and care for animals. Everytime we go to visit Desert Haven everything there is very clean and neat. The animals there are very well cared for by the volunteers who take very good care of the animals. Everyone who volunteers is an asset to Desert Haven. There is a lot of work involved in caring for the animals that unless you have been a volunteer there you don't realize it. But the work is well worth the feeling that you receive knowing that you have contributed to a great cause. When you are a volunteer at Desert Haven you are not treated as a volunteer, you are treated as part of a family. I know this from experience as I came to Desert Haven as a volunteer a few years ago and even now that I am notthere I feel as though Desert Haven is still my family. It is a good feeling to return to Desert Haven for a visit and be welcomed with opened arms by the volunteers and by the animals there. Instead of getting a AKC pet, why not adopt a grown pet that needs your love and care just as much as a AKC pet? You won't regret it because I sure don't with the three dogs I have adopted from Desert Haven.
