Week of 10/2/16 Humane Happenings

Donation from Tractor Supply
The Sierra County Humane Society is reminding local residents who need a financial boost in getting their companion animal sterilized that they can pick-up a SCHS spay-neuter application at the local Police Station. We offer rebates of $30 for male dogs or cats and $40 for females. Since our organization’s programs are entirely funded by private and local business contributions - and not by taxpayers money - also by fundraising activities generated by our small team of hard-working individuals, we trust that only local residents who truly need the financial boost will apply, as our animal welfare organization operates on a limited budget.

 We sincerely appreciate our members and supporters who donate to our cause to help the spay-neuter program specifically.  Since 1990, when the non-profit animal welfare organization started this much-needed program, the T or C Police Chief at the time welcomed the opportunity for the Police Department to be the official pick-up point for the SCHS Spay-Neuter application. Ever since 1990, the SCHS Spay-Neuter application has been made available at the Police Station.   

This week, we sincerely thank Jon of Virginia who very generously donated the funds to purchase a brand new refrigerator for the main building at Desert Haven. His donation was made in memory of 49 years old Lorena Nelson, who recently passed away at the prime of her life.  Lorena was a life-long member and active supporter of our organization for many years and it is very fitting, to those who knew her well, that she is being remembered at Desert Haven in this special way.   

A big thank-you is in order for Tractor Supplies Co. store that opened its door in TorC last year. This week, the store donated several large bags of high-quality dog food and enough bones (real bones, not rawhide) for all the furry residents in Dog Town to enjoy. Thank you, Anthony, for ensuring that the pet food & treats went to our organization and also for loading the heavy bags into the IM4pets Toyota truck.

This week’s wish list: milk bones - Canned dog & cat food.  Plastic grocery bags. We use them both at the sanctuary and Paws & Claws Thrift Shoppe.   If you can help, call us at 575-894-2639, e-mail us at
