Jessie and her puppies

The Sierra County Humane Society, Sierra County’s non-profit, all-volunteer animal welfare organization, is enrolled in the Cash-for-Clubs program, which ends on the last day of July and starts again in September. Please bring all your saved Bullocks receipts to Paws & Claws thrift shop. If the shop is closed, please drop them off inside the mailbox located in front of the building. They can also be dropped-off at the Williamsburg Post Office or at the T or C Library. Bullocks receipts received after the first weekend in August will not be tallied and potential revenues from them will be lost. Our Society uses the revenues from the Bullocks receipts to cover some of the costs of the Society’s Spay-Neuter and Spay-a-Stray programs.
We also collect aluminum cans that we redeem to benefit that same program. Please drop-off your bags of aluminum cans into the Can Corral at Paws & Claws, which is located adjacent to the thrift shop. Many thanks to Walt Allen for loading them up in his pick-up regularly and redeem them for us locally.
At this time, Desert Haven is home to several small kitties and to Jessie and her five four-weeks-old rat-terrier mix puppies, along with a number of adult felines and canines ready for adoption. Fritzy - one of the male puppies soon to be weaned - is already spoken for. In a few weeks, he will join Taco, the little Chihuahua who survived last year’s Hatch flood disaster and who has been spending many months at Desert Haven until he was adopted into the same household. Jessie with Fritzy and his litter-mates is pictured at the top of this message.
This week’s Wish List: Canned and dry dog and cat food, also bird seed, sunflower seeds and rabbit pellets. We ALWAYS need helpers at Paws & Claws thrift shop from Wednesday through Saturday. Two hours a week out of someone’s time would do greatly to help us keep up with the great donations that we receive almost daily, as well as keeping the shop as attractive as we possibly can under the circumstances. We also need able bodied folks to help with animal care at Desert Haven, any morning of the week.
For more information or to adopt one of the dogs and cats of Desert Haven, or to volunteer, contact us at 505-894-2778. Desert Haven is open for visitors every Tuesday. You can also check- us out at http://www.DesertHavenAnimalRefuge.com.
