Week of 2/14/16 Humane Happenings

by Eliana Aubin



Here we are, almost two months into the New Year already. The Sierra County Humane Society wishes to remind all of you, our animal loving readers, that this year again, you too can have an impact on animals in need, no matter where you live. Certainly, you would want to give an innocent dog or cat a second chance at life if you knew you could. Indeed you can!  Some of you are physically able to give us hands-on help. Join our team and help with our projects at the sanctuary. Volunteering a couple of hours each week at Desert Haven on a Tuesday afternoon, for example, would make a huge difference in what this organization can do to help animals in need. 

If you prefer to volunteer at Paws & Claws Thrift Shoppe, we can use help there too. Also, occasionally, we need someone with a truck to help pick-up large items that local individuals wish to donate, but only if we can pick them up. Are you able and willing to do that on occasion?  Contact us at 575-894-2639 or e-mail us at weR4pets@gmail.com

It’s your on-going commitment and your generosity that make our progress possible, year after year. You believe you would prefer to help out in other ways besides working in-the-trenches with our team? Then open your heart and demonstrate your love for animals by becoming a member of our organization.   

You can also send a monetary contribution to our animal welfare organization at PO Box 638 Williamsburg, NM 87942. Your gift goes right to where it’s needed most and it has a direct impact on our life-saving programs. One in particular involves giving-out rebate certificates for spay-neuter surgeries. Another covers the entire costs of sterilizing cats that have been abandoned by their owners and left to fend for themselves in and around neighbors yards. 

Giving a new chance at a normal life to innocent animals, while at the same time repairing the physical and emotional damage created by some low-life humans, is what Desert Haven Animal Refuge is all about. Those of you who believe in the work that we do can help out in so many ways. All it takes is for you to choose what you believe you can do. Here at Desert Haven, we make things happen. Won’t you join us?
