Week of 1/3/16 Humane Happenings

by Eliana Aubin
      We are entering into a new year and as the Sierra County Humane Society is closing the last chapter of 2015, there are many reasons to be grateful. Several local businesses & their owners who generously supported our animal welfare organization and Desert Haven Animal Refuge this past year deserve a special thank-you from all our animal loving friends and members:  Suzan, owner and operator of Animas Creek Nursery located near Caballo, NM, Sierra Veterinary Services in T or C, owned and operated by our local veterinarian, Dr Dawkins. There is Bullocks Grocery Store, our friendly “Hometown Grocery Store” located in downtown TorC, also SunValley Hardware. Horsin’ Around Feed & Tack Store in Williamsburg, which by the way closed its doors quietly and permanently this past Tuesday also supported our organization and Desert Haven in 2015. Legal Advisor Attorney John Wheeler and CPA James Bagwell are both very generous with giving of their time and sharing their professional knowledge with us. Last but not least, the local media continues to be very supportive year after year. The space allowed for our weekly HUMANE HAPPENINGS articles, for example, is priceless to our organization, as we share animal oriented information with our readers in both local newspapers. Our members and supporters are from all over. Thanks to their on-going generosity, we at Desert Haven are able to save and give a new lease on life to as many unwanted companion animals as we possibly can, until they are adopted out or to the end of their natural life. A very special “thank-you” goes to Gina of Ruidoso, NM, to William of IN, Larry & Mavis, also of IN, to Earl & Courtney of California, Coqui’s mom Vicki of CT, Duke’s mom and dad of Albuquerque and to Sharon and Bill, also of ABQ, to Ringgo’s mom and dad of Texas, Rick of MA,  Lee of AZ and Jon of VA, and to many others not listed here. Their support started long before 2015 and we are immensely grateful for their on-going kindness over the years.
