As we are entering 2010, The Sierra County Humane Society wishes to give a huge pat on the back to Bullocks Grocery store in T or C. Three times a week, Desert Haven Animal Refuge becomes the grateful recipient of several boxes of fresh produce – one of the main ingredients in the diet of the feathered and furry residents of Birdland and Animal House at the domestic animal sanctuary. The Guinea pigs and rabbits – and there are many - live the good life in their several all enclosed habitats. Every morning, fresh veggies and fruits are prepared especially for them; every bit of fresh produce served to them in several shallow stainless steel platters is cut into bite size pieces, because they like it better that way. And then there are the peacocks, the chicken and roosters and also the large flock of white and domesticated ring-neck doves. They, too, appreciate fresh produce in their daily diet. The locally owned and operated Bullocks grocery store is also well-known for its one-of-a-kind Cash-for-clubs program. It’s a way for this community service oriented store to give back to the community in a very fair way: Of course, we hope that all our animal loving friends will make it a point to save their Bullocks receipts especially for us. Once redeemed by our organization, one dollar for every $1000 spent at Bullocks goes directly to us, totally free of charge to you. You can drop your Bullocks receipts off at Paws & Claws thrift shop, located across the alley from Family Dollar in T or C. We also have a box with our name on it at the T or C Library as well as at the Williamsburg Post Office. Several local folks also collect Bullocks receipts for us from their neighbors and friends and they make it a point to bring them to us on a regular basis.
All the money redeemed from Bullocks receipts helps cover some of the costs of the Sierra County Humane Society Spay-Neuter program and also its Spay-a-Stray program. This comprehensive program has been in existence, courtesy of our animal welfare organization, for the past 20 years and we are extremely proud of it. The Humane Society Spay-Neuter applications can be picked up at the T or C Police Station. For more information about the program, contact us at 575-894-2778.
This week again, we need dog and cat food, also rabbit pellets, sunflower and bird seeds. Interested in learning more about our animal welfare organization? Perhaps contributing to it in some way?
