Sprinkles, Desert Haven's little dog, is now Rosie and she has a new home with a little girl to play with
Since early December, several donations have been made by local folks, including Bonnie Waters of Williamsburg, in memory of Michael Oakes who passed away 12-9-08. A year after his passing, Michael is most remembered by folks who knew him and respected and loved him as a good man who loved animals. Contributions made in his memory to the Sierra County Humane Society and Desert Haven insure that Michael Oakes is helping companion animals even beyond Death – a worthy tribute to a worthy human being.
At the threshold of a brand new year - the last in the first decade of the new century – the Sierra County Humane Society is beginning its 21st year. From a humble beginning in 1989, it now owns and operates a small but highly effective no-kill domestic animal sanctuary, home to over 200 furry and feathered living creatures including an average of 30 canines and 34 felines. The Society also funds and administers several crucial community oriented programs such as its Adopt-a-Classroom, Spay-Neuter, Spay-a-Stray among others, all of them funded by private and corporate contributions, together with a busy thrift shop operated exclusively by volunteers.
In winter, canned dog food is always high on the priority wish list at Desert Haven. 30 healthy and very active dogs eat a lot each day, especially during the colder months when they need more calories, and we insure that they stay healthy and well fed by mixing some canned food into their dry food. We also need rabbit pellets, sunflower and bird seeds, cleaning detergent, bleach, white vinegar, scrub brushes, latex rubber and work gloves. Catnip and toys made with catnip, also sturdy rope toys for our dogs would also be very much appreciated. Your donations can be dropped off at Paws & Claws thrift shop or Desert Haven.
