We would like to sincerely thank Eliana and the Sierra

Desert Haven Animal Refuge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Working with
the dogs, cats and birds was a very rewarding experience. If you love animals and want to make a

The job is more than just “working your time”

could certainly just do the regular animal care, you would miss out on the
opportunity to truly meet, know and love all the wonderful residents of the
refuge within your assigned hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will
also have the opportunity to take on any projects that better the refuge
whether your interest is painting, carpentry or just extra snuggles with the

the dogs every morning and giving the cats their evening snack!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </div>

volunteering at Desert Haven!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

We have been at Desert Haven for two months now as work campers. While not
knowing what to expect exactly, I did have hopes of spending a lot of time
" hand to fur".....and being here has shown me how paltry my
expectations were. </span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; margin: 0px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; margin: 0px;">Each morning as we approach Dogtown the writhing, wiggling,
wagging and woofing welcomes us. I'm not a morning person in general and yet
every morning my face hurts from s<span style="margin: 0px;">miling! All
the cats and dogs here are friendly and affectionate to everyone but over time
I am learning that there is a subtle yet definite difference as they come to
know you as YOU and not just the nice people with the leash or food or fresh
water. </span></span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;">As much as they love their daily walks there comes a point when to kneel
down and share some loving and hugging has to happen first before they even
want the leash on!!! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;">Of course we all know dogs (and cats) seem to exist only
to love us (okay, cats are a little more independent), yet that total
humbleness and vulnerability to our actions and behavior towards them makes us
understand more fully the compassion and drive of Eliana to make a safe loving
place for as many unwanted, unloved little furry beings as she can. Because of
her dedication and great efforts to establish Desert Haven these many years
ago, Mel and I, for this brief period of time, have been reveling in the
affection and even joy bestowed upon us by the lucky residents of Desert Haven.

you, Betty, for making all the Desert Haven’s furry residents very
happy this week. We are grateful for your generous contribution of pet
food and treats, and also for the very gently used Cat furniture that
you thoughtfully included in your donation. Our kitties took possession
of the cat furniture immediately after it was set-up in the Cat Patio
inside the Cool Cat neighborhood.</span></div>

week’s wish list: a load of crusher fine to repair the damage done to
the driveway leading to the sanctuary parking lot and main building.
Construction material, especially wood, plywood, pieces of 2 by 4, etc.
that we currently are collecting to take on several much needed projects
that will enhance the lives of our little residents. </span></div>

operating under its 501-c-3 non-profit umbrella. The non-profit resale
store is now open from Tuesday through Saturday, from 10 AM to 5 PM, to
better serve the community and the tourists. We need extra help at the
store during business hours. Interested in donating a couple of hours a

adopted from Desert Haven during the 2016 holidays. Jack and Callie recently moved
to their fur-ever home locally. Red went to Colorado, to share his life with
his new family. Our sweet and playful fur-boy seems to be having the time of
his life as the constant companion of the two children and another fur-boy, who
also obviously enjoy the new playmate. <span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">While visiting family
locally, Red and his folks decided to visit Desert Haven once again last
Tuesday. It was a real thrill for all of us who cared for him at the no-kill sanctuary,
to welcome our fur-baby for a short visit. His family also shared with us that as
soon as Red, who was sitting in the back seat of the vehicle, realized that the
car was turning into the Desert Haven driveway, his tail started to wave
happily and it didn’t stop waving the whole time of the visit. Red was very happy to visit us and he was thanking
us in his own way for rescuing him and giving him the opportunity to live his
new life with a family who loved him. </span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">It’s
Christmas Time again, the Season of Giving. This week, the Sierra
County Humane Society wishes to thank the kind individuals who are
supporting our 501-c-3 non-profit animal welfare organization, to
benefit the feathered and furry little residents of Desert Haven, the
No-Kill companion animal sanctuary located in the heart of Desert
Country.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">Marian
and Robert, together with their fur-girl Charlotte, are from
Albuquerque. They also call Elephant Butte their home. Every year, the
couple delivers a vehicle full of goodies to the sanctuary, something
for all our little rescues. This year again, we received from the couple
canned and dry dog & cat food and treats, bird seeds and also
several large bags full of warm bedding. Thank-you Marian and Robert,
and please give a hug for all of us to Charlotte, the fur-baby you
adopted from Desert Haven some years back.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">Jim
is a winter resident in our area. Jim is also the Good Samaritan who
went above and beyond to rescue Gentle Ben from certain death many
months ago. Gentle Ben the black lab was literally thrown out of a
vehicle in the middle of nowhere around Percha Dam at the onset of the
Winter season that year. It took several weeks for Jim to finally gain
the trust of the starving fur-boy and then bring him safely to Desert
Haven. Jim has not forgotten the fur-boy that he saved from starvation
and exposure that Winter. While residing in our area, Ben’s Guardian
Angel brings dog food regularly to help feed Gentle Ben, the Black Lab
that he saved. How thoughtful of you, Jim!</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">We
appreciate everyone who helps feed our fur-babies and help keep them
warm and happy this time of the year. Among several others, also
anonymous, there is the kind individual who dropped-off last Tuesday at
the sanctuary’s main entrance several boxes of goodies and bags of warm
bedding for our our-boys and girls. There is Belinda, who, last week,
rolled-up a cart-full of pet food and treats directly from Family Dollar
to Paws & Claws Thrift Shoppe, just as she has done every year at
Christmas Time. We also thank all of you, who generously sent a special
Christmas contribution to benefit our little rescues this Winter. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; font-size: 14pt;">This
week at Desert Haven was very busy. Two very special canines, Red, and
Jack were adopted. Jack quickly melted the heart of Ann, a local senior
lady who started volunteering at DogTown to help socialize several of
our furry residents. It was very difficult to see Jack leave Desert
Haven. After all, how could we not have gotten very attached to this
fur-ball of fun and spunk since he was rescued at the sanctuary last
year at this time? But again, seeing him take so quickly to Ann warmed
our hearts and we wish them both the very best. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; font-size: 14pt;">Red
has now moved to Colorado, to live a good life with a family with
kids. Of course, if anything does not work as planned in their new
fur-ever home, we will welcome them back with open arms, no questions

<span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; font-size: 14pt;">Russell
the peacock has been an integral part of Desert Haven since 2001, when
the no-kill domestic animal sanctuary opened its doors to unwanted and
abandoned creatures. Russell was a very small baby peacock back then.
He was rescued, together with two other feathered little ones, also very
young. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; font-size: 14pt;">At the time, their human caretaker wanted to save them from a
Bobcat family that had taken residence near his large property on the
outskirts of T or C. Apparently, this Bobcat family had already
decimated most of the man’s domestic animals, birds and other fowl that
he had rescued and cared for on his property over the years. We took
Russell and his siblings in. Our majestic bird became the
King-of-Birdland, an icon at our sanctuary. </span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">The 2016 Holiday Season is now
in full swing. What better way to celebrate the holidays than to give all the
Desert Haven furry and feather residents some very special treats? This past
Tuesday, all the fur-boys and girls in Dog Town were given a very tasty and fun-to-chew-on
large bone (real bones, not rawhide) purchased especially with each one in
mind, directly from our local Tractor Trailer Co store.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">The purchase of safe-for-dogs-to-eat
dog bones of all sizes was made possible through a generous contribution recently
sent in the mail for that specific purpose by one of our animal loving friends,
Jon, who resides in Virginia. Jon has been a strong supporter of our
organization for several years now. His on-going generosity and kindness, all
the way from his home in Virginia, is showing his genuine compassion towards all
companion animals in need. The furry
little ones rescued at Desert Haven, a humble, small but efficient, no-kill
domestic animal sanctuary several thousand miles away from Jon’s home are benefiting
greatly from his kindness and we are grateful. Jon is a Facebook friend of our sanctuary,
through the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/deserthaven">www.facebook.com/deserthaven</a>
page. Some weeks ago, Jon saw our post on Facebook and he also read in our weekly “Humane Happenings” article about
Desert Haven needing milk bones to give as treats to our fur babies. Soon afterwards,
our organization received, from Jon and via Walmart & Fedex - several boxes
full of milk bones of all sizes. </span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">At around the same time, our organization received,
also via Fedex, also from Jon of Virginia, a couple of oversize boxes full of gently
used doggie beds for very small to large fur-boys and girls. It was truly heartwarming to us who work in
the trenches, to know that animal loving people, local and from all over the
country, follow our labor-of-love as they read our weekly “Humane Happenings”
article and follow our Desert Haven Facebook page. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">The Sierra County Humane
Society (SCHS) owns and operates Desert Haven Animal Sanctuary and Paws &
Claws Thrift Shoppe. The animal welfare organization is a 501-c-3 non-profit
entity, managed by a Board of Directors that is elected every year to make the
decisions involving the entire organization. </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;"><span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">The Sierra County Humane
Society receives no funding from government entities, local or otherwise – this
means that absolutely NO tax-payers money, NO government help of any sort
including government grants, etc. go into helping fund the organization in any
way. This fact is important indeed, to enlighten some vocal locals who still seem
to be grossly uninformed after all these years that the organization, including
Desert Haven and Paws & Claws Thrift Shoppe have been in existence. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;"><span></span></span><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">Desert Haven is indeed a
private sanctuary, entirely built from the grounds up and operated by a handful
of animal loving individuals who cared enough then and who care enough now to
provide a haven for unwanted and abandoned companion animals. The dedicated volunteers
must rely on the resources they generate on an on-going basis. Contrary to what some uninformed locals
claim, Desert Haven is not and never will be the dumping ground for all local unwanted
animals, including theirs. We are not a hoarding facility. Recent threats of a
smear campaign if Desert Haven does not arbitrarily take in their animal comply
won’t change the facts or the direction or the organization. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;"><span></span></span><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">The facts are: Desert Haven
operates on a limited budget generated through the support and dedication of
animal loving people from all over, including local businesses and private
entities and, as importantly, the volunteers who care enough to help make
things work. Resources such as space
available, funding, number of long-term volunteers, routinely limit the number
of animals we can take in at Desert Haven. </span></div>

our special needs furry rescues and get them ready for adoption? perhaps you
can help-out a couple of hours a week or more at Paws & Claws during business hours? What
about helping provide food or veterinary care for our little rescues? Do you want
to make a difference in the life of an animal? </span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">Fall has finally arrived in
our Desert Southwest and Desert Haven Animal Refuge is getting ready for Winter.
This past Summer, Amin’s Furniture Store in TorC very generously donated a brand
new roll of carpet to Desert Haven, to help keep our furry residents warm this
winter. Sharon of Albuquerque and her father Bill also donated some large carpet
pieces several months ago. All the carpet stored since this last Spring is now being
put to good use both in Dog Town and the Cool Cat Neighborhood in anticipation
of a colder-than-usual Winter this year. </span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">Jack, Kevin, Mike and Larry are
keeping busy cutting-up the carpet to help keep the resident fur-boys and girls
as comfy as possible this Winter. Much of the cement floor inside the Inn at
Dog Town has now been carpeted. Soon, our
team will also have laid-out carpet inside each one of the igloos located in
the Cat Walks, which are part of the all-fenced Cool Cat Neighborhood. The igloos are without a doubt the felines’ favorite
daybeds no matter what the season. It gives every member of our Desert Haven
team a lot of pleasure to watch our little ones enjoy the coziness of their igloos
as they do. Thanks to the generosity of our animal loving friends through the
year, every individual Kitty Condo inside the Cat Patio and in the Feline Dorm now
has its very own warm pillow. What a
treat for our kitties! </span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">Are you a dog aficionado? Do
you have a couple of hours to donate every week? Why not spend them around dogs
one morning or two a week? The canines of Desert Haven are walked every morning,
between 8 and 11 AM. Currently, Pat of
Lake Valley, Christine of Elephant Butte and Keith of TorC are our dedicated –
and appreciated - volunteer dog walkers. All our fur-boys and girls, especially
the few new little ones who came to us recently from a deplorable hoarding
situation and who are still extremely shy, benefit greatly from routinely spending
individual quality time with a human companion. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">This week, the Sierra County
Humane Society is sending a heartfelt thank-you to Guy & Michelle, owners
of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Black-Dog-Shredding-Inc-182908328428197/">Black Dog Shredding, Inc.</a> 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. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">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. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">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

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">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.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">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. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">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!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">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. </span></div>

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.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;"> 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. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">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. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">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.</span></div>

a very young three-legged white Siamese-mix kitten with an inquisitive
personality and big bright blue eyes, are now the newest residents of the Cool
Cat Neighborhood at Desert Haven Animal Refuge. Desert Haven is owned and
operated by the Sierra County Humane Society, the non-profit animal welfare
organization that serves this area of New Mexico. Henry, Vulcan and Peggy arrived with their
own sad story. But at Desert Haven, they are finally safe, well-cared for, and loved.
That is what Desert Haven is all about.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Three-legged little Peggy was born under a shed about eight
weeks ago. When rescued a couple of weeks ago, neither her mother nor her siblings
could be found. There was “no place at the Inn” at the time - (inside the Cool
Cat Neighborhood) - but how could we push away the helpless little one? It’s
hard enough for a tiny kitty to survive all alone, but a three-legged one has to
overcome even more obstacles. Among
other life-threatening hurdles, a three-legged feline certainly can’t climb a
tree, for example, to run away from an aggressive dog, or a hungry coyote - or even
a heart-less human. </span></div>

to invite kind-hearted individuals willing and able to help us socialize and walk-on-a-leash
several of our newest small canine rescues. These very sweet young dogs are
still very shy from the ordeal they went through before their rescue at the sanctuary.
They need special individual attention from good-hearted individuals willing to
help. Call us at 575-894-2639 or e-mail us at <a href="mailto:weR4pets@gmail.com">weR4pets@gmail.com</a> for more information. Morning animal care at Desert Haven includes
dog walking. It is currently handled between the hours of 7:30 AM and 10:30 AM.

atmosphere around them is one of friendliness and cooperation, of warmth

welfare organization. Belinda came on board in the Spring of this year
to take on the position of bookkeeper for our non-profit organization.
Belinda’s many strengths, including her professionalism and her love for
all animals, together with her willingness and tendency to routinely go
above and beyond, are making her an exception individual and a true
asset to our animal welfare organization and our no-kill sanctuary.

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;"> Desert
Haven Animal Refuge is Sierra County’s no-kill sanctuary. Dog Town at
Desert Haven is known to be a fun place to be, both for the canines
residents and also for everyone who helps care for them. There are
several ways to be involved at Dog Town. One can walk the dogs in the
morning, between 7:30 and 10:30, a most enjoyable activity indeed.
Helping feed and care for the little guys and girls inside their own
living quarters is also part of the rewarding feeling of doing something
worthwhile in one’s life. Not only an animal lover can make great
connections with the fur-babies there, without the long-term commitment
of responsible dog ownership, but one also knows that everyone who
resides there is a lucky dog indeed, living every day in a loving and
safe environment. Here at Desert Haven, the staff cares for each and
every fur-baby as their own, and adoption applications are carefully
reviewed before any of our little ones moves out of Dog Town at Desert
Haven.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">Tico
is a young Pomeranian mix. Micky, Jack and Teddy are all young, small,
Terrier-mix. Their equally small playmate, Holly, is a Miniature
Pinscher. Little Jenny-May, Mel and Speckles are young heeler-mix. Each
one is small to medium size and looks very different from the other.
Goldie is a senior cocker spaniel - a loving little gal who would make a
great companion for a senior person. Red the Golden Retriever, Ben the
Black Lab, Forest the Hound and Mosey the Ridgeback, Scruffy the
Shepherd, Lucy the heeler-shepherd, Starlight the Manchester Terrier,
Dixie the Airedale-terrier are also currently residing at Dog Town.
Buster and Molly are in the process of being adopted. Lilly was just
adopted out. Interested in visiting them? Come on down to Desert Haven
on a Tuesday.</span></div>

week’s wish list: a used refrigerator in good working condition. We
have needed one for a long while now, and have been hoping along the way
for some help from supporters in replacing our old fridge that is
beyond "its last leg". Canned Dog and Cat Food is also on our high
priority list.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">Desert Haven is a busy place every day of
the week, especially on Tuesdays, which is reserved to welcome visitors and
also for large projects. The no-kill
sanctuary is in existence for the purpose of helping companion animals-in-need,
providing them with a safe and loving environment until they are adopted out or
to the end of their natural life. It’s a big undertaking, but we believe in
what we do.<span></span></span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 20.25pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">Little
Vickie is a prime example. She was rescued at Desert Haven a number of years
ago. The young puppy had been dumped by
her owner, together with a large number of other dogs, some of them pups like
her, in the middle of the desert around Cuchillo where the man lived. The
reason? The hoarder had been tipped that the Sheriff Department was ready to
pay him a visit to ensure that all his dogs had been vaccinated for the
mandatory rabies shot. Of course, none
of them had been vaccinated for anything. Vicky was one of two pups who made it
back to the vicinity of Cuchillo some days later. One pup was taken in by the
good Samaritan who discovered both, the other brought to Desert Haven. The
sanctuary became Vickie’s home. Time passed and Vickie grew up, a loving fur-girl
full of life and energy. As she grew-up, her chances for adoption slowly went
down. And then she became a senior dog at the no-kill sanctuary. With new specific needs, the elderly fur-gal continued
to receive special attention and her living quarters were revamped along the
way to allow her to continue to enjoy life to the fullest. Last year, Vickie
was adopted by a senior gentleman. Our fur-girl had found her forever home at
last. Hurray! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt;">That’s what Desert Haven is all about.
We ensure that all our little rescues, young
and old alike, enjoy life as fully as we are able to provide for them. Contributions
of time and effort, donations - both financial and in-kind - that are ear-marked
for the sanctuary residents, help bring safety, comfort and loving care to the
little ones who reside there.<span></span></span>

and Desert Haven Animal Refuge is preparing for the Winter ahead. All summer long, the staff at Paws &
Claws Thrift Shoppe has collected well-worn pillows, comforters and blankets for
the fur-babies at the No-Kill sanctuary. In the Cool Cat Neighborhood, the
pillows fit the individual condos perfectly. The comforters and blankets are
great inside the igloos and the Kitty Motel, all of them located in the Cat
Walks and Cat Patio. Also coming from Paws & Claws: well-worn sweat shirts
and pants, etc, that we add to the kitties bed areas for more comfort. Thanks
to the thoughtful people who donate these items to Paws & Claws
specifically for the fur-babies who reside at the sanctuary, our Desert Haven
team is able to keep all our little ones warm and cozy through the coldest
months of the year.</span></div>

canned dog food for the residents of Dog Town - also canned cat food for the
Cool Cat Neighborhood. Our felines appreciate their cat treats. Their most
favorite ones are those that are soft inside. Apparently, the hard-all-around
treats taste too much like regular cat food to be considered special treats to
them. We are also looking for a good used
swamp cooler and lawn mower, chain link, wire and wood fencing and posts. If
you can help, call us at 575-894-2639, e-mail us at <a href="mailto:weR4pets@gmail.com">weR4pets@gmail.com</a>. We can
pick up if needed </span></div>

Co. The attractive and customer-friendly store opened early this year in the
“old” ALCO building on Broadway. The store recently donated high-quality dog
food to Desert Haven. Thank you, Anthony, not only for ensuring that the pet
food contribution went to our organization but also for loading the heavy bags
into the IM4pets Toyota truck. The little truck is almost 29 years old now,
still running, still proud to donate all of its spunk to our animal welfare
organization. Its owner continues to maintain it completely at her expense, including
the gas it takes to run it, all of it to benefit the organization. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 28px;"> This
week, the Sierra County Humane Society is reminding its members and
animal loving friends who reside or vacation in our area to save their
Bullocks receipts for the animal welfare organization and Desert Haven
Animal Refuge, the no-kill animal sanctuary that it owns and operates.
Bullocks Grocery Store is well-known throughout this area to be one of
its strongest community oriented businesses. Not only Bullocks is
valued for being customer oriented, but it also financially supports
local 501-c-3 non-profit organizations such as ours with its
Cash-for-Clubs program. The program has been in existence for many
years now. When you save your Bullocks receipts for our animal welfare
organization and you drop them off at Paws & Claws Thrift Shoppe,
the Williamsburg Post Office or the TorC Public Library, Josephine, our
organization Charter Member and long-standing volunteer, routinely
collects them. She also tallies them for us. We receive $2 per each
thousand dollars worth of Bullocks receipts that we receive. The money
collected helps fund the organization’s spay-neuter and spay-a-stray
programs. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"> The Sierra County Humane Society & Desert Haven Animal Refuge
has been in existence since 1989 and 1999 respectively. The entire operation of
the non-profit animal welfare organization is funded by the kindness and generosity
of private and business entities who believe in helping us help animals-in-need
in our area. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; line-height: 150%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">With the weather getting cooler, the team at the no-kill
sanctuary is starting to work on the several projects outlined since earlier
this year. The fenced addition to Scruffy and Lucy’s exercise yard is in full
swing. Jack, Kevin, Larry and Keith worked together last Tuesday afternoon. They
have already made huge progress. While they are installing the chain link fencing,
perhaps a local handy person could donate time to build the two gates that we need
to install on each end of the yard extension. Someone may prefer to donate a tall gate or
two to help complete the project. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; line-height: 150%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Several major projects are on our priority list at the
sanctuary: we need to install a sink and
replacing a window in the kitchen of the Eagle Point mobile home. We have both the replacement sink and window.
We now are looking for the very handy
person to take on either one of the two projects. It was started many months ago, but never completed.
Without the sink and the window, the mobile home can’t be used. Another major project is the Rainbow Bridge Pet
Cemetery sign located in front of the property and facing Hwy 187. An
especially violent wind storm destroyed the sign sometime last year. Soon
afterwards, a local artist committed to create a colorful sign for our animal
welfare organization. It’s been many months and there is no more word – and no
sign - from the artist. </span></div>

already, the response is heartwarming. We try our very best to send a
newsletter every year,
usually earlier in the year, inviting our members and animal loving
friends to continue to support our organization in any way they can. Our
non-profit animal welfare organization receives no funding from local,
state or federal government. We operate independently,
just as any other animal welfare organization in the US. We work very
hard at bringing the revenues needed to make a difference. Private and
business contributions are crucial in helping us help animals in need in
our area. We also bring in revenues from our
hard work at Paws & Claws Thrift Shoppe, the non-profit business
owned and operated by the organization. These combined revenues directly
support our community oriented programs, including Desert Haven, the
companion animal sanctuary that the organization
also owns and operates. </span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">This week, we wish to thank Sharon who works at Sandia Labs in
Albuquerque. Sharon, together with her father Bill of Elephant Butte,
has been one of our organization’s
most steadfast supporters. Over the years, among other strong shows of
support, Sharon has made a point to keep our entire organization
computer system updated with the latest software and hardware upgrades –
all of it on her own time and at her own expense.
Her computer technical expertise, along with the time & energy she
regularly and selflessly donates to our animal welfare cause, has been
an important part of the success of our organization. Sharon, we are
grateful. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"> 49 years old Lorena
passed away suddenly very recently. She was a remarkable individual, with a
zest for clean and healthy living and a passion for animals that everyone who
knew her well respected and admired her for. Lorena became actively involved with the
Sierra County Humane Society in 1990, while she was finishing her college
education in Las Cruces, NM. That’s when she decided that she could help make a
real difference for companion animals by doing her part as we were getting an animal
welfare organization off the ground amidst strong opposition from uninformed
and narrow-minded local folks. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">As one of
its very first Life Members, Lorena started helping out with a number of
fundraising events, such as the organization’s Annual Have-a-Heart dinner
dances, also its gigantic semi-yearly yard sales, among others. Soon after Paws
& Claws Thrift Shoppe had opened for business in 1997, she made a point to
help out in any way she could there, as she was starting to make a living while
raising her small baby girl as a new single mom. She started and developed an internet store to
benefit the organization, utilizing some of the most unique and searched-after items
donated at the store. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">At some time, Lorena relocated
to North Carolina with her beloved young daughter, to take advantage of a
career opportunity not available locally. Still, she stayed involved in our
animal welfare organization, always there to help out, this time as a member of
the Advisory Board. Lorena’s life was
cut short at the peak of her career and of her life, but her memory will live
on forever. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">To honor this remarkable individual whose passion for animals was overshadowed
only by her passion for her little girl and her determination to live a life
that truly mattered, Lorena’s family is inviting those whose lives she touched to
make a donations to Desert Haven Animal Refuge, the sanctuary that Lorena helped
get off the ground and then made a point to involve her very young daughter
Sophia in supporting it and making it an integral part of their lives over the
years. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Desert Haven Animal Refuge
is owned and operated by the Sierra County Humane Society. It recently rescued several
new fur-boys and girls. In the Cool Cat Neighborhood,
young Vulcan is still settling in. He was at the end of one of his nine lives when
he finally found his way to an animal lover’s back yard some weeks back – not a
day too soon either, from the way he looked then. Vulcan was slowly brought
back to health and his guardian angel kept hoping that the Feline-in-residence at
the household would soon accept the new arrival. That was not to be and Desert Haven is now
home to Vulcan. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Then there is Moshi, a tiny kitty dropped-off at the sanctuary
some weeks back. The fur-baby was skinny and badly injured. His fresh, deep head-wound
was especially concerning. The little guy was clinging to Life, so Desert Haven
took him in. Kevin, who resides at the sanctuary, volunteered to care for the kitty
at his home and to personally take charge of his recovery.</span></div>

Desert Haven Animal Refuge. P&C Thrift
Shoppe receives in-kind donations from people from all over. Some of Paws & Claws contributors reside as
far as Albuquerque and Sante Fe. One of our most generous couples lives in Victoria,
Texas. They all remind us that they save
their boxes of quality items for us, because we serve animals in need. Many out-of-towners bring their items to the
store when they get the chance to enjoy their time off at the lake. How thoughtful!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Some of our local Paws
& Claws shoppers often ask us what they can do to help our organization help
companion animals in need in our area. Aside
from visiting the feathered and furry residents at Desert Haven Animal Refuge -
something some folks are not able to do because they lack transportation - there
are indeed other ways to get involved, sometimes directly from their own home. Participate in the Cash-for Clubs program for
example. It was initiated years ago by Bullocks Grocery Store to benefit
501-c-3 non-profit organizations like ours. When you shop at Bullocks, save
your receipts and bring them to Paws & Claws Thrift Shoppe. You can also drop
them off at the TorC Public Library or the Williamsburg Post Office. Every one thousand dollars worth of Bullocks receipts
that our organization receives from Bullocks shoppers bring two dollars to help
fund our programs. Josephine is a charter member of our animal welfare
organization. She handles the Cash-for-Clubs program for our organization and
we are grateful for her on-going involvement. The money made from the receipts
go towards our spay-neuter and spay-a-stray programs. The management team at Bullocks
Grocery Store in TorC is to be commended for this very generous – and successful
- community service program. </span></div>

Miniature Pinscher who arrived at Desert Haven a few days before Christmas 2015.
<span> </span></span><span style="color: black;">She was part of a group of small dogs needing
immediate rescue. Aside from Libby, there was Holly the Miniature Pinscher, Jack
</span></span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="color: black;">the Jack Russell, Foxxy
the tiny terrier and Roxie the Manchester Terrier. Surrounded by <span> </span></span><span style="color: black;">much loving care, the Lucky-5 adapted well to
the daily life at Dog Town. After all, they had plenty of indoor-outdoor space
to investigate, including their spacious Puppy Play Yard and their very own Puppy
Club House. It didn’t take long for the active little group to become the talk
of the town – Dog Town that is. </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="color: black;">Some weeks later, Roxie was adopted by a local Desert Haven volunteer,
Shirley. Then it was Foxxy who moved out of Dog Town and in with his new human
buddies. And this past Tuesday, it was Libby’s turn to be adopted. Libby met
her new mentor and also Steve, the human companion with whom she will soon spend
every minute of her life, as she officially became a “Service-Dog in-Training. <span> </span></span><span style="color: black;">After she has successfully completed her six-weeks
training in Las Cruces, Libby will become Steve’s official service dog. </span><span><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><span style="color: black;">How thrilling it is for all of us at Desert
Haven, to know that our little fur-gal is on the threshold of a brand new life.

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">These are uplifting
times for Sierra County residents who care about companion animals and their
humane treatment. Those of us who started our animal welfare organization in
the late 80’s remember how challenging it was to change the attitude that many
local individuals had about companion animals. <span> </span>Since then, our relentless efforts and
dedication to the animal welfare cause ensured that compassion for companion
animals, including those who are unwanted and abandoned, would strengthen and grow.
<span> </span>A couple of organizations intended to
help animals in our area are currently getting off-the ground - a healthy sign that
times have changed at last. The Facebook Page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1452390765009611/" target="_blank">“Lost, Found and Rehoming ofAnimals in Sierra County”</a> is a good example of this new, kinder mindset. Ellen,
your hard work in starting and managing the Facebook page is immensely
appreciated. <span> </span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><div style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt 13.5pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Sierra
County has indeed come a long way since the days when unwanted and abandoned dogs
and cats were routinely ga<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">ss</span>ed to death by the animal control officer inside a large
steel box at the then-city shelter - an antiquated facility located at the local
waste water plant. <span> </span>Sadly, the mind-set of
the City Leadership reflected the mind-set of many local folks in those days. It
was a bold move at the time, to organize and build from the ground up an animal
welfare organization strong enough to withstand the constant attempts to destroy
it in launching personal attacks on its leaders. Until only a few years ago, we
had to stand up against bigotry and small-minded ideas, also against the lack
of willingness by some, including several prominent City and County leaders, to
accept companion animals as sentient beings who felt emotions and pain and who
deserved our compassion. <span> </span>We didn’t give
up – we made a difference in our corner of the world. <span> </span><span> </span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><div style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">The Sierra County
Humane Society has been rightfully recognized over the years for organizing a
successful animal welfare movement locally. In 1989, a small group of visionaries
took on the challenge of carving a trail of compassion for those without a
voice, by becoming their voice. And now, over twenty-seven years later, it is indeed
refreshing to witness others who are following in our footsteps. Hurray for
every new organization sincerely dedicated to the welfare of animals in Sierra
County! </span></div>
