This week, the Sierra County
Humane Society is sending a heartfelt thank-you to Guy & Michelle, owners
of Black Dog Shredding, Inc. in Albuquerque. Guy and Michelle also call Elephant
Butte their home. The philanthropic couple belongs to the Parrots Club of NM. Whenever
one of the club’s charitable events is held at their E.B. home, Desert Haven is
the recipient of their and their guests’ generosity. Again, thank-you from the
bottom of our heart, Guy, Michelle and all your guests, for donating to our no-kill
companion animal sanctuary as you have, again this year.
Dixie, the young Airedale
rescued at Desert Haven a few months ago, received a very important mid-morning
visit this past Tuesday. Lynn, Mark and
their senior fur-boy Patches, had made the overnight trip from Phoenix Arizona
to meet Dixie in person and as importantly, to introduce Patches to her for the
first time. Mike & Lynn had seen Dixie on our Desert Haven Petfinder page
and they trusted that the first meeting between Dixie and Patches would be
positive enough that they could feel confident in bringing Dixie back home with
them. It didn’t happen that way and
Dixie is still a Desert Haven resident, still on the Adoptable list on our Petfinder
page, and still Gentle Ben’s playmate in the exercise yard they both share at
Dog Town.

Before leaving the sanctuary
to return home to Phoenix, both Lynn and Mark made a point to share with our team
how impressed they both were with the atmosphere of peace and kindness that
they felt while at our sanctuary. They added that all the dogs there looked very
healthy and that they were obviously happy in their surroundings. Lynn stressed
that these observations had made a deep impression on her and her husband. To
show their support of our efforts, the couple decided to sponsor both Dixie and
her roommate Gentle Ben. This, they hoped, would make the adoption of either
one easier for the right person. Interested in learning more about our fur-boys
and girls, including Dixie and Ben? We can
