Reba prepares dinner at Dog Town
Desert Haven Animal Refuge, Sierra County’s no-kill domestic animal sanctuary, welcomes Don and Inid of Sierra Vista who arrived on location this past Tuesday to join a congenial, resourceful and dedicated group of work-campers who are helping the DHAR volunteer crew care for the non-human sanctuary residents. We currently have twenty-eight (28) canines of all sizes and breeds at Dog Town and 32 felines who enjoy the luxury of The Cool Cat Neighborhood, a 1200 square feet feline equivalent of a five star gated community. DHAR also houses a large flock of white and domesticated ring-neck doves, several peacocks, many guinea pigs and a number of miniature chickens and roosters who live comfortably in spacious habitats at Birdland & Animal House.
Work campers at DHAR also help maintain and upgrade the five-acre property and its buildings. We hope that Don and Inid will enjoy their stay at Desert Haven while checking out the many amenities that Sierra County has to offer, including lakes, great museums, hot baths and restaurants, together with a healthy climate that is hard to beat.
There is a lot of activity at Dog Town these days, with the recent arrival of several new resident canine rescues, most of them very small to medium, and all of them young. There is Sahara, female Aussie - Pugsley, cute-as-a-button pug mix -Shasta, playful terrier - Monty the dachshund - Dakota, rust and black long hair Dachshund mix - Sparky, rust white and brown bird dog - Danny Boy, slender black lab. And there is little Scruffy the new mom. Scruffy came to us very pregnant, and her seven puppies, now only a few days old, are the newest and youngest residents- by far - of Dog Town.
Scruffy went through difficult times in her short life before coming to DHAR, but now all that is behind her; At Desert Haven, this new little mom is receiving all the love and care that she deserves and, as she nurses her pups in the sanctuary’s peaceful and safe environment, she never fails to bring many strong emotions in the hearts of those who help care for her. As soon as they have their veterinary check-up and are sterilized, all these new residents will be ready to be adopted into their forever loving home.
Priority wish list: Pet treats and canned food - Helpers at Paw&Claws - Dog walkers, Kitty cuddlers and office helpers at DHAR. Someone to help with watering and pruning at DHAR.
