In the Spirit of Christmas at Walmart



Since Wal Mart opened its doors in T or C this past Summer, Desert Haven, Sierra County's No-Kill domestic animal sanctuary, has been the lucky recipient of damaged bags of pet food (mostly dog food) that, together with donations from local animal loving residents, are helping feed the animal residents of DHAR.

Speaking of the sanctuary's canines only, depending on the number of resident dogs at the time, it takes an average of 15 to 20 lbs of food each day, not including treats, to keep the residents of Dog Town well fed and happy. The Wal Mart contribution of damaged bags of dog food has been a very welcome addition to their staple diet and Wal Mart's gesture is very much appreciated.
