Reba, Desert Haven Animal Care Coordinator, prepares breakfast for the residents of Dog Town
This week, we wish to thank Pat at Movie Gallery for letting the Sierra County Humane Society keep a poster board at her place of business and update it as time permits. Pat also collects bags of dog and cat food from customers who visit her establishment. Kudos are due to Rockett Morgan of Ohio, who currently work camps at DHAR with her husband John. Rockett recently updated Desert Haven’s poster boards at several businesses in T or C, with photos of most of the newest rescues at the no-kill sanctuary. Our DHAR crew feels especially fortunate at this time, as several of the newest Dog Town arrivals were adopted out sooner than anticipated. Thanks to our diligent web masters - Camille Pronovost of Florida and Stan Brodsky of Hillsboro - both our web sites and blog www.DeserthavenAnimalRefuge.com and DesertHaven@petfinder.com and this blog ) are updated weekly and kept interesting as they attract more and more attention from animal loving folks from all over the country.
Little Whitney is a lucky little girl-dog indeed. Only eight pounds and not yet one year old, Whitney has already won the hearts of everyone who has connected with her in some way. She was recently rescued at DHAR and almost immediately underwent a risky but lifesaving surgery. Only a few days after her return home from surgery, it was discovered that this fragile little dog had become pregnant before being rescued at Desert haven. The unborn pups were pushing against her repaired diaphragm, causing it to tear again. Another out-of-town trip was made - another risky but lifesaving surgery was immediately performed. Whitney’s ordeal is now over and she is recuperating surprisingly well. This little one embodies the philosophy of Sierra County’s no-kill sanctuary, where every creature is given every chance possible at a new and a good life. An innocent creature who was betrayed by the human who not only abandoned her, but injured her as well, is given “a new leash on life” at Desert Haven, a safe and compassionate environment.
This week’s wish list: sunflower seeds, dog and cat treats, dry and canned cat food. Interested in learning more about us? Feeling lonely and wanting to meet folks of kindred spirit and make new friends? Looking for a new companion animal? Perhaps you wish to become a volunteer either at Desert Haven or Paws&Claws thrift shop? Contact us at 894-2778 or visit us on Tuesdays, when the sanctuary is open for visitors. “It’s a good day to be a DHAR volunteer!”
