Week of 12/29/15 Humane Happenings

by Eliana Aubin

      Desert Haven Animal Refuge, the small no-kill domestic animal sanctuary owned and operated by the Sierra County Humane Society has taken in several new furry residents recently. Jack is an 8 month old Jack Russell (& Schnauzer ?) mix. This little boy-with-personality has already charmed everyone at Desert Haven.

 

Roxie and Holly are both black-and-tan Miniature Pinschers, one and two years old respectively. While Holly is a people person, the youngest and smallest one is still very shy in her new surroundings. Although she enjoys the company of the other little ones her size, she still has some ways to go before she feels completely comfortable around most people. That will obviously require extra-special loving attention and of course plenty of tasty treats readily available. 

 

 Then there is Libby, a three-year old Toy Manchester-Terrier mix who has already made the Puppy Play Yard and its Puppy Club House her home. Two-year old Corgy-Terrier Mix, Foxxy, is the latest arrival at Dog Town. This tiny fur-boy reminds some of us of a miniature Arctic Fox - hence his new name “Foxxy”.  

  

   The new little rescues are now part of the daily life at Dog Town and the other canine residents have already accepted them as one of them. Check out the stories & photos of our newest little rescues at www.Facebook.com/DesertHaven and  www.Facebook.com/PawsnClawsThriftShoppe.

  As soon as they are “vetted”, including shots, sterilization, etc., the little ones will be ready to be adopted out and move into their new homes.  

      All our fur-boys and girls are on their best behavior, especially at this time of the year, in anticipation of special visits that may even lead to wonderful FOREVER HOMES. Desert Haven is open to visitors & potential adopters every Tuesday, between 9 AM and 4 PM.

   The past couple of weeks have been especially productive at the sanctuary. The chain link fencing & posts very generously donated to our organization by Frances of the Sentinel Newspaper have already been put to good use. The major project was completed this past Tuesday. Hurray for Bob, Kevin and Larry, all of whom were involved in the project. Thanks again, Frances, for making it possible.
