Week of 2/7/16 Humane Happenings

Desert Haven recently rescued several dogs and cats in need of a new lease on life. Jack the small Jack Russell mix with a big personality, Foxxy the tiny terrier, Miniature Pinschers Roxie and Holly, and Libby the Toy Manchester Terrier. The little group has already adapted well to the daily life at Dog Town and they all are enjoying the Puppy Play Yard and its two-story Puppy Club House to the fullest, together with Sancho and Penelope who visit regularly, and also Sandy & Daisy, who join their fun activities every Tuesday, when their human dad – Larry – volunteers at the sanctuary. Each of the new furry residents is now vetted – quite an expensive - but necessary – undertaking.  Tom is in the process of getting photos of all of them for the Desert Haven Petfinder page. All of them, including Dog Town’s other fur-boys and girls Lucy, Scruffy, Forest, Mosey, Suzy-Q, Abby, Missy and her roommate Gentle Ben, are already posted on the Facebook pages www.Facebook.com/DesertHaven  and also on www.Facebook.com/PawsnClawsThriftShoppe. Zoey, Toto and Crystal are Dog town’s current boarders. The spacious VIP Yard and its “Peace Pad” has been their home away from home.  

Gentle back came back to the sanctuary some weeks ago. Apparently, soon after another adult male dog – a service dog - was moved into the household, the two fur-boys didn’t make the connection needed and Gentle Ben was returned. The adoption policy at Desert Haven allows for anyone, at any time, to return a companion animal adopted from the sanctuary.



Desert Haven also rescued several felines the past several weeks, including Piper and L.C. (AKA Lucky Cat). L.C. was “dumped” on a property at the outskirts of town one afternoon, together with two other house cats obviously belonging to the same party. Not even a day after their abandonment in unknown territory, the owners of the property witnessed a coyote swiftly abducting one of the felines. The other one was taken shortly thereafter. The third feline was immediately taken to the sanctuary, saving him from the horrible fate of the other two. People who abandon their unwanted animals obviously do not care enough about what will happen to them.
