Eliana with donations
2008 is almost gone, and the active volunteers for The Sierra County Humane Society, Desert Haven Animal Refuge and Paws & Claws thrift shop wish to extend their appreciation to all the animal loving folks who, throughout the year, have supported our organization in some way.
This last week alone, the following folks and businesses deserve a pat on the back:
Harold C. Brown & Company for their generous contribution on behalf of Liana Stark and Doug Imshaug in memory of their dog Max; Jan Haley of Hillsboro, who not only sent a contribution, but wrote about us in the DHAR blog at http://DesertHavenAnimalRefuge.blogspot.com; Doctor and Mrs. Arnold Gold of Live Oak, CA, for their donation in honor of their friends Bill and Sue White who work camped at DHAR several years ago. Richard and Annie Millard who for several years now, have donated each and every month towards feeding the residents of Birdland; Bill & Mary Jane Clellan, for their on-going donations of cash and dog and cat food; George and DiAnna Schnetzer, former Sierra County residents and long-time supporters of DHAR, for their box of Christmas goodies that was enjoyed by the Tuesday crew at a recent staff meeting.

A special thank-you goes to the following businesses: LeRoy of Black Range Enterprises who recently donated his labor when he repaired some of the light fixtures in Paws & Claws thrift shop; Citizens Bank of Las Cruces who sent a donation in lieu of flowers in memory of Mike Oakes who passed away recently;
St Cloud Mining for their on-going contribution of entire pellets of cat litter for the thirty-two residents of The Cool Cat Neighborhood. The T or C Police Department that has kindly made available to anyone who asked for them our Spay-Neuter forms since 1990, when we started giving rebates to folks in need of a financial boost to get their companion animal sterilized; Wal-Mart, the new kid on the block, for generously donating occasional damaged bags of dog food to Desert Haven.

A very special thank you goes to the Secret Santa who recently dropped off a substantial number of boxes of Christmas pet treats at the front gate of DHAR. Not only the dogs and cats loved the extra treats, but the humans who were given the opportunity to distribute them enormously appreciated the anonymous gesture.
We thank Bullocks of T or C for their on-going contributions of fresh veggies from their produce department. Since Desert Haven opened its doors in 2002 to unwanted guinea pigs, rabbits, peacocks, miniature chickens and roosters, the fresh veggies donated by the community-minded grocery store have become an important and very healthy staple in their diet. The Bullocks’ Cash for Clubs program allows folks interested in supporting our organization in some way to save their receipts for us. When redeemed, the receipts bring our animal welfare organization the cash that we need to keep the SCHS Spay-Neuter program alive year after year. Drop-off boxes for Bullocks receipts are located at the T or C public Library, the Williamsburg Post Office and Paws & Claws thrift shop in T or C.
Last but not least, the local media has been outstanding to our organization. Without the support of the Media, we would not be able to inform our readers of all the good that our animal welfare organization does for the community. A very special thanks goes to The Herald for raising money for our Society when searching the Internet with GoodSearch at www.goodsearch.com, powered by Yahoo.
