Charlie (female) recently arrived at Desert Haven with her look-alike sisters Austin & Tux, another sister, Montana, who is an all-black kitty, and a brother, Bandit, mostly white with an adorable black "mask".
This week we wish to thank a kind local individual who made a very generous - and anonymous -contribution specifically earmarked for a dinner at a local restaurant, to be enjoyed by all the resident-volunteer crew at Desert Haven Animal Refuge. This was a most thoughtful gesture to show one’s personal gratitude for their efforts, often above and beyond the line of duty. It was very much appreciated by everyone who attended.
DHAR crew member Debbie Peters has already left DHAR to spend five weeks vacation back East. With school starting very soon, local volunteer Molly Williams is getting ready to resume her job as a teacher. Several other volunteers, including Stan and Robbin Brodsky of Hillsboro, are getting ready for a vacation of their own before the summer is over. Consequently, we are hoping that those of our readers who wish to help us in some way consider giving us a hand for a couple of hours or more a week, either at Paws & Claws thrift shop or at Desert Haven. We certainly could use the extra help, especially at this time of the year, when out-of-state RV’ing volunteers prefer to spend their summer up North, as opposed to the Desert Southwest.
Friendly reminder: Last call for your Bullocks receipts. They must in by the end of the first week in August if they are going to be tallied and redeemed for cash at Bullocks Grocery Store. Last year, while 54 local entities participated in the Cash-for-Clubs program, our Society earned a total of $3,351.53 - over $1,000 more than the $2,361.37 we earned the year before, and $934.69 more than the 2006 second highest recipient organization: the ZIA Parents Teachers Organization (PTO). We wish to thank each and everyone who made it a point to give their Bullocks receipts to our organization, to benefit the domestic animals of Sierra County. With the help of our animal loving friends who save Bullocks receipts for us throughout the year, we hope to continue to redeem enough receipts to help keep our comprehensive Spay-Neuter program alive each year. We are very serious about the need to curb the on-going dogs and cats population explosion in Sierra County, and we urge pet owners interested in our help to have their animal sterilized, to contact us at 505-894-2778 for more information on both our Spay-Neuter and Spay-a-Stray programs.
Wish List: Canned dog and cat food. Desert Haven is open for visitors every Tuesday. For more information, contact us at 894-2778. You can also check- us out at
