Desert Haven received another seal of approval a couple of weeks ago. The former mom of one of Dog Town’s newest residents, a boxer mix named Emma, recently visited the sanctuary with a friend, Yvonne. They wanted to spend time with the dog she had to give up when her living arrangements changed drastically as she started her first semester at NMSU in Las Cruces. Yvonne is a local resident of TorC and a strong supporter of Desert Haven. Seeing Emma settled and happy in her new environment in the company of several constant playmates inspired her former mom to leave a donation to help DHAR cover some of her daily care.
While at the sanctuary, Yvonne questioned Reba, DHAR's Animal Care Coordinator, about ongoing and future projects. When she heard that we had been planning to expand several indoor-outdoor kennels, but the lack of adequate funding to cover the costs of the needed materials precluded us to start on that important project, Yvonne made a donation to help us get it underway.
We have something new and exciting we'd like to share with you! It's the new Sierra County Humane Society toolbar - once added to IE or Firefox, each time you shop at more than 1,300 stores (from Amazon to Zazzle!) a percentage of your purchase will automatically be donated to Sierra County Humane Society - at no cost to you (and you may even save money as the toolbar provides coupons and deals as well!). The toolbar also has a search box and each time you search the Internet, about a penny is donated to Sierra County Humane Society.

And please pass this along to all of your friends. The two minutes it takes to add this toolbar to your browser can make a lifetime of difference!
We continue to need dog food and especially puppy food for the several Aussie mix pups rescued at DHAR a few weeks ago. We are grateful for each and every bag of pet food that kind folks drop-off either at Paws & Claws Thrift Shoppe, located next to Family Dollar in TorC, or at Desert Haven on Tuesdays, when the no-kill sanctuary is open for visitors.
We can be reached at POB 638, Williamsburg NM, 87942, also at 575-894-2778, 575-740-4100. Check us out at www.DeserthavenanimalRefuge.com, www.DesertHavenAnimalRefuge.blogspot.com,
