Everyone
who is involved in his or her community in some way knows that there
are weeks that seem to go faster than others. The feeling is real for
many Doers and Shakers. These past few weeks have seemed very short for
some of the members of the team at Desert Haven and also at Paws &
Claws Thrift Shoppe, which are both owned and operated by the Sierra
County Humane Society.
At
Desert Haven, the no-kill domestic animal sanctuary that serves our
area, the level of activity continues to be high. Buster, Lilly, Molly,
Gracie, also Terrence and, this past Tuesday, Peggie, the very young
three-legged kitty and the sanctuary’s latest rescue, were all recently
adopted locally. Dixie the Airedale was rescued earlier this year. She
is now the center of interest from an out-of-state couple who plans to
make the trip all the way from their home in Phoenix AZ very soon, to
visit her and hopefully adopt her. How exciting for all of us who
rescue and care for all our little ones until we find the very best home
for each one of them.
Mike
is from Colorado. He is Desert Haven’s newest work-camper. This past
Tuesday, Mike, Kevin (also from Colorado) Jack (formerly a Colorado
resident) and Larry, our organization Vice-President, worked together on
our latest big project: adding some real estate to Scruffy and Lucy’s
exercise yard. It’s been a project that is taking longer than
anticipated, but it is advancing steadily and soon will be completed.
Scruffy and Lucy can’t wait, and neither can the rest of us!
This
week’s kudos go to Jon, who lives in Virginia. Jon’s beloved fur-boy
passed away recently. In his memory, Desert Haven received three large
boxes full of milk bones containers for our Dog Town residents. Jon also
send several warm doggie beds that were immediately put to good use in
anticipation of the cold Winter nights. Jon is a Facebook friend of
Desert Haven and we are very grateful for his on-going support.
This
week’s wish list: Canned dog & cat food. Plastic and paper grocery
bags. If you can help in some way, contact us at 575-894-2639 or at weR4pets@gmail.com.
