Feather in dreamland
Aluminum cans and Bullocks receipts continue to be collected by The Sierra County Humane Society and when redeemed, the funds earned help cover some of the costs of sterilizing companion animals of Sierra County residents. Both our Spay-Neuter and Spay-a-Stray programs are crucial in curbing the domestic animal overpopulation in our area. Applications for the Spay-Neuter program can be picked up at the T or C Police station, El Rancho Poodles and Hot Springs Animal Clinic. To take advantage of the Spay-a-Stray program in which the cost of sterilizing a feral cat that you care for is completely free to you, contact us at 505-894-2778 or 894-1694.
When advertising free to a good home a dog, puppy, cat or kitten, please insure that the so-called “good home” does not turn out to be a horrifying experience for the animal you no longer want. No animal deserves to be tortured, maimed or even “dumped” in some obscure section of Sierra County, or left to slowly die, tied-up in some backyard, because nobody really cares. As shameful as it is, this fate happens right here in Sierra County, perhaps even in your own neighborhoods, to “Free to good home” dogs or cats. The Sierra County Humane Society is not a law enforcement Agency, consequently, the local law enforcement departments and Animal Control Officers are the proper authorities to contact first when you witness a domestic animal in distress or someone abandoning one. According to Police Chief Russ Peterson, you can remain anonymous if you wish.
A friendly reminder to our Internet aficionados: Do you wish to help Desert Haven earn $$ while you search? GoodSearch.com is a new search engine that donates half its revenue, about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate. You use it just as you would any search engine, and it's powered by Yahoo!, so you get great results. Just go to http://www.goodsearch.com. Be sure that Sierra County Humane Society is listed as the charity you want to support. Just 500 of us searching four times a day will raise about $7300 in a year without anyone spending a dime! And, be sure to spread the word!
Wish List: Canned and dry dog and cat food. Rubber tubs to be used as individual swimming pools for the canines of Dog Town.
