| Bullocks grocery store |
This week, we are reminding our readers that the Bullocks Cash-for-Club program is still in effect. Bullocks receipts continue to be collected for the Sierra County Humane Society (SCHS) and Desert Haven Animal Refuge (DHAR), its No-Kill domestic animal sanctuary.
This is how it works: When you drop-off your Bullocks receipts in our collection boxes inside Paws&Claws Thrift Shoppe, at the TorC public library or the Williamsburg post office, our 501-C-3 non-profit organization receive $2 per each one thousand dollars from redeemed Bullocks receipts. All the funds collected by our organization from the Bullocks receipts go towards our own Spay-Neuter and Spay-a-Stray programs. The local SCHS Spay-a-Stray program is tailored from the Trap-Neuter-Release program initiated years ago by Alley Cats Allies, a national animal welfare organization dedicated to help curb feral cat overpopulation all over the nation. Feral cats lucky enough to have someone willing and able to watch over them and provide them with food, water and shelter should be sterilized instead of being systematically trapped and destroyed at local animal shelters. The Trap-Neuter-Release program – AKA: Spay-a-Stray - has proven to be very successful in curbing feline overpopulation in Sierra County communities since the mid 1990’s, when our organization started the program locally.
Bullocks receipts, aluminum cans, Doggie Banks and personal contributions help fund the Spay-a-Stray program. Our Cans Corral, adjacent to Paws&Claws Thrift Shoppe in TorC, is the collection point for your aluminum cans. You can also drop-off your Bullocks receipts inside the shop during business hours, or in the Donation Box when the store is closed for business. Your donations towards the program can be sent to the Sierra County Humane Society, POB 638, Williamsburg, NM 87942.
Through our Adopt-a-Pet referral program, our organization helps you find a home for your no-longer-wanted pet, free of charge to you. Also through the program, you can adopt a pet directly from its owner. For more information, contact us at adoptapet4life@gmail.com or call us at 575-894-1694.
The sanctuary is open to visitors every Tuesday. To volunteer or contribute in some way, contact us at 575-894-2639 or e-mail us at weR4pets@gmail.com. Visit us at www.DesertHavenAnimalRefuge.com, www.Facebook.com/deserthaven and www.facebook.com/pawsnclawsthriftshoppe.
