This month’s Adoption Option Booth, manned by Reba Wagner and Marg Higgins together with their furry helpers Oreo and Shasta, was held this past Saturday in front of “Red Bone”, a gift & collectible shop located in Downtown TorC. When you visit Red Bone, please make it a point to thank Kevin for his kindness in letting The Sierra County Humane Society set-up booth under the shade of his shop’s overhang.
Reba is Desert Haven Animal Refuge Animal Care Coordinator and Marg is work-camping this Summer at DHAR with her husband Skip. Oreo and Shasta stole the show and helped recruit John Jamieson, newcomer to the area, who is already starting to involve himself at the no-kill domestic animal sanctuary. An Atta-boy is in order for John who signed up to bring the main dish for next Tuesday’s pot luck. Skip, a professional photographer by trade, took the beautiful photos of the feathered and furry DHAR residents that went into creating, among other projects, the adorable bookmarks displayed at the booth last Saturday. They are now available for sale at Paws & Claws thrift shop. You can also visit Skip’s web site at http://www.skiphiggins@rascalphotography.com. to admire some of his work.
Thanks to the generosity of Gene Wagner, Desert Haven’s caretaker, we now have the use of a small and very handy trailer to pick-up large items on Tuesdays, when we also have the manpower to do so. Contact us at 894-2778 for more information.
A word of caution: when you plan to donate some of your most interesting treasures, also furniture pieces and large items to our thrift shop, please consider dropping them off at the shop during business hours - from Wed through Saturday. This way they won’t be picked-up by unsavory individuals who feel no shame in stealing from volunteer non-profit organizations such as ours.
This week, our special thanks go to CJ Ellis of Caballo Lake RV Park. CJ stopped at DHAR last Tuesday, with items for Paws & Claws thrift shop, but also with her arms full of ice-cold soft drinks to distribute to the crew. CJ has been a staunch supporter of our efforts over the years. Her thoughtfulness in bringing the volunteer crew enough soft drinks for everyone on a hot day like Tuesday was a very special gesture that each and every member of the crew appreciated.
If interested in joining our cause, networking for us or helping in some other way, call us at 894-2778 or visit Paws & Claws thrift shop and connect with Eliana on Fridays. You can also visit us at www.DesertHavenAnimalRefuge.com or at www.facebook.com
Saving just one pet won't change the world
but, surely, the world will change for that one pet .
