Desert Haven is a non-profit domestic animal sanctuary owned and operated by the Sierra County Humane Society. Sherry Scott, Desert Haven Animal Care Coordinator, also handles the work camper program at the sanctuary. Sherry handles inquiries from individuals and couples, locally and from all over the US, who show interest in committing for several months at a time to exchange a number of hours every week for an RV site and other amenities at the DHAR campground. Together with staff members and local volunteers, work campers handle the daily care of the sanctuary residents, together with helping maintain the property in a good state of repairs. They also help build and upgrade as needed. Some of the duties may include helping out at Paws & Claws Thrift Shoppe, the major fund raising activity for the animal welfare organization. If interested in learning more about the DHAR work camper program, contact Sherry at 575-740-9412, or visit our web site at www.DesertHavenAnimalRefuge.com where you will find our work camper application.
Desert Haven always welcomes the help of local individuals who wish to be involved with our worthwhile cause. We need extra help with animal care in the morning or late afternoon. We can use an extra volunteer or two with adoptions from the sanctuary and local home visits for the purpose of placing the right animal in just the right home. Our dog and cat residents always welcome the extra attention. If you enjoy the company of companion animals without the responsibility of ownership, Desert Haven is the right place for you. Can you help in the office on Tuesdays? If so, plan to stay for our pot luck lunch and mingle with the DHAR volunteer team.
This week, the SCHS and DHAR volunteers are sending their thoughts and prayers to Ellen Farrester. Ellen, also known as “Bootz” has been volunteering at Paws & Claws Thrift Shoppe for several years now and she is very much liked by everyone who knows her. Her son, who lives in Oregon with his family, fell into a coma earlier this week and Bootz is spending time with him. We will miss her at the shop until her return.
