Week of 11/8/15 Humane Happenings


by Eliana Aubin

I'll take it!!

        The past several weeks have been full of activities at Desert Haven Animal Refuge, the no-kill domestic animal sanctuary owned and operated by the Sierra County Humane Society.

        Newly arrived Fox Terriers Miles, Milo and Shi-Tzu mix Matty, are now sterilized. Miles is in the process of being adopted. We thank everyone who was involved with their recent rescue.  Interested in adopting a lap-dog with personality?  Please check-out our Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/DesertHaven. Our web site www.DesertHavenAnimalRefuge.com can also take you to our Petfinder page, only a click away. The sanctuary is open to visitors every Tuesday between 9 AM and 4 PM. Dog Town is home to dogs of various breeds and sizes, including two little Chihuahuas, Penny & Violet. These small, young fur-babies have resided at Dog Town for many, many months now. Both are trusting that someone special will want to give them a loving home for the holidays.  Penny & Violet, together with Miles, Milo and Matty, and occasional play-mates Penelope & Sancho, are taking advantage of every amenity offered by their Puppy Play Yard and its cozy indoor section.  

        Thanks to Joe, Tom and Kevin, Dog Town is now ready for winter.  Inside the Inn, carpet remnants have been cut to size and laid-out everywhere on the cement floors.   All the furry little ones have their very own doggie-bed to snuggle in at night. In the play yards, every igloo and dog house is now thoroughly insulated.  With the Cool Cat Neighborhood and Birdland also recently winterized,  every little resident at Desert Haven will be warm and cozy this winter.

Gentle Ben, the young black lab abandoned at Percha Dam State Park three weeks ago, is now residing at the sanctuary.  His new playmates - Taz and Missy – have welcomed him into their circle and the three of them can be seen playing never-ending games.  If everything goes as planned, Gentle Ben will soon be ready to become the newest member of Sue & Dan’s family in TorC.  

        This week’s wish list: wire fencing & posts - dog & cat food – used bedding for the furry sanctuary residents. Your donations can be dropped off at Paws & Claws Thrift Shoppe located adjacent to Family Dollar in TorC. For more information, contact us at 575-894-2639.
