December is usually a very busy month of the year for the Sierra County Humane Society and already. December 2015 is proving to be no different.
Our
Second Annual Lights of Love celebration was held at Desert Haven
Animal Refuge this past Tuesday. Central Bark - the main courtyard – is
once again decorated with shining white and colored Christmas lights
representing all the fur-boys and girls loved & remembered by our
animal loving friends from all over - a colored light to honor a little
one, a white light to remember one who has passed on. What a warm
feeling we had as we watched all these little lights shining in the
dark, knowing that that so many companion animals are being remembered
and honored in this way.
Gentle
Ben has gone home with his new adoptive parents, Sue & Dan, and we
are told that the fur-boy is adjusting well in his new, loving
environment. Very lucky fur-boy indeed! Visit www.Facebook.com/DesertHaven to find out more about Gentle Ben’s story, which touched the hearts of so many animal loving souls from all over the country.
The
two smallest residents of Dog Town, Chihuahuas Penny & Violet, were
discovered a few weeks apart two winters ago. Each one had been seen
wandering for days along the country road near the very small community
of Caballo. Both were emaciated, injured and extremely skittish by the
time they were rescued at Desert Haven. Small
dogs are easy prey for the coyotes, bald eagles and horned owls
especially, all known to inhabit that area of the Desert. Now, two years
later, Penny & Violet are healthy and have both regained trust in
humans. This past Tuesday, they were adopted by a family. Their companion of several weeks, Matty the Lasho Apso, also a little rescue, was adopted with them by the same family. Hurray! 
Marian
& Bruce, you helped make this past Tuesday a special day for our
Desert Haven team, when you so generously dropped-off pet food, treats,
bird seeds, also brand new doggie and kitty beds there.
To all our
friends from all over, please remember the small army of little
residents at our sanctuary. Please help us feed and care for them this
Winter. Contact us at weR4pets@gmail.com or at 575-894-2639. Visit our web site at www.DesertHavenAnimalRefuge.com.
