Week of 6/20/07 Humane Happenings
The Sierra County Humane Society wishes to remind everyone that The Movie Gallery’s owner, Pat Armijo, is donating a free movie rental during the month of June, in exchange for pet food (canned or dry) designated for Desert Haven Animal Refuge, Sierra County’s No-Kill domestic animal sanctuary. A local business helping a local charitable organization – the way to go!
An accolade is also in order for The Herald, whose Publisher Mike Tooley officially approved the designation of the goodsearch.com search engine for all of The Herald’s computers, allowing the Sierra County Humane Society, inc. to receive half of the revenues generated. Any business wishing to support our local animal welfare organization can use goodsearch.com just as it would any search engine. It’s powered by Yahoo!, so you get great results. Be sure to list the Sierra County Humane Society, Inc. as the charity you want to support.
Our non-profit organization is indebted to the local media for the space reserved in the newspapers for the weekly “Humane Happenings” column. For many years now, we have been given the opportunity by the local media to inform readers, week after week, about all the good that our volunteers do to help make Sierra County a better place to live. We owe the media a huge thank-you indeed!
Please continue to save your Bullocks receipts, they means $$ to our Society, which in turn uses the funds generated to cover the costs of our Spay-Neuter and Spay-a-Stray programs. We also collect aluminum cans. Please drop them off at Paws & Claws thrift shop at 109 East First Street, in T or C, or at Desert Haven, whichever is most convenient for you.
This week’s wish list: canned dog and cat food, bird seeds, rabbit pellets and chicken scratch. Rubber tubs to be used as swimming pools for some of our water-loving canines. A refrigerator in working condition for Dog Town, to replace the now-extinct one generously donated to us several years ago. Any chest-type freezer you no longer want can also be donated to Desert Haven - we use them successfully for rodent-proof pet food storage.
The companion animal of your choice may be waiting for you at Desert Haven! Plan to visit the sanctuary on Tuesday, or call us at 505-894-2778 for an appointment. You can also check- us out at http://www.DesertHavenAnimalRefuge.com. Until next time, have a purr-fect week!
