Desert Haven Animal Rescue - Sierra County Humane Society

Desert Haven Animal Rescue - Sierra County Humane Society To donate, apply, view our sweet babies: deserthavenanimalrescue.org ❤️🧡🩵 We assist local residents of Sierra County who apply for financial help.

We are a no-kill 501(c)(3) animal rescue in Sierra County NM specializing in compassion, care plans & adoption for our rescues plus spay/neuter aid for our community. THE SIERRA COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY raises funds for several comprehensive programs that provide long-term benefits for the companion animals of Sierra County.

1) THE SIERRA COUNTY SPAY-NEUTER PROGRAM is one of the most effective in cu

rbing the tragic dogs and cats overpopulation in our county. If you need help to have your dog or cat (your pet) sterilized, you will receive a rebate certificate for a discounted procedure. Call 575-894-1694 to obtain an application— leave a message stating your phone number clearly, and twice.

2) THE SPAY-A-STRAY PROGRAM covers the entire costs of sterilizing five or more stray or feral cats each month, using the "Trap-Neuter-Return" method pioneered by Alley Cat Allies. Cats sterilized under this program must have a safe environment to return to after sterilization. Call 575-894-1694 to obtain an application— leave a message stating your phone number clearly, and twice.

3. ADOPTION PROGRAM. Dogs and cats in rescue and residing at Desert Haven are available for adoption. If you’re considering adopting a dog or cat, reach out to our adoption coordinator via phone at 612-387-0215 or email at [email protected]. Our adoptable companion animals can be viewed at DesertHaven.Petfinder.com. Thank you for considering adoption!

Hello there! I’m Aspen and I’m a whirring ball of love and fun! I am almost four months old so I’m still a baby girl who wants to snuggle snuggle snuggle. And I also love to play play play romp romp romp and be with you all the time! I cannot wait to grow up in a family who likes to be with me, loving me, playing with me, teaching me, and raising me up to be the best girl ever!

People that know such things have said that I’m a german shepherd/golden retriever mix so I’ll be a beautiful dog and surely the absolute apple of your eye.

When you come to meet me I will walk right up to you confidently, happily, and ready for petsies! It’s me, Aspen, reporting for duty as your New Best Friend!

Come meet me soon. Use this number: 575-740-0643. I’ll be playing with my buddies til you get here. Love, Aspen

Because Deb of Elephant Butte reached out and inquired about fostering, and subsequently signed on to foster for Desert Haven, these three babies are alive and safe.

Baldwin is black. Mindi is brown with a brown face. Molly is brown with a white face. All three sweet babies are only 7 weeks old, presently about three pounds, and are at Deb’s getting the love and care they need to thrive. We expect them to be small breed dogs.

They have received their first set of puppy shots and are well on their way to adoptability!

Thank you, foster mama Deb! If you’d like to inquire about fostering, contact us at 575-740-0643 🐾💞

Here is a glimpse into a day in the life of a Desert Haven volunteer. We are fortunate to have wonderful people helping us!

Our volunteers help shape the lives of our animals, help our events run smoothly, and help keep the operations of our non-profit organization moving forward.

Saying we are grateful for their time and effort doesn’t scratch the surface of how we feel. Many hands make light work and the helpful hands of volunteers that pitch in at the Sierra County Humane Society which operates Desert Haven Animal Rescue are made of gold.

We love each and every one of you! (A few of our volunteers don't like to make it Facebook Official with their photos published so their photos are not in this post but let it be known we love them too!)

Thank you!

We’re getting the band back together! Amy and I are thrilled to see Mark 🛠️

Our handyman Mark is seasonal and has recently returned to DHAR — just in time to lighten the load for all of us. Mark says his mission is to help both our animal care providers and our animals have a safer and happier experience at Desert Haven. Mark has a deep love for caretaking and has an incredible talent for handymanning. We are grateful for him and all he does for us!

And so we are ecstatic to kick off National Volunteer Week by sharing our appreciation to Mark! Thank you, good sir 🙌🏼

Love,
Greta, the board, and all of our staff and volunteers 💞

We have a darling group of wee babes in foster care. Lauren, Angie, Sammy, Frank, and Juliet are just 6.5 weeks old.

Yesterday we placed one sweetheart with her adoptive family and they just sent an update about their precious Easter gift: Lauren, now Chloe Rose🌹

“She sure is making her self right at home. Eating well and tell us everything she needs to potty. It’s amazing. She is so intelligent and beautiful in every way! Big sister Aura also loves her and is watching baby sister sleep. Happy Easter 🐣🦋💕🙏🏽✨🌸🌼🌻🌷🌞💐🐇🪺”

🏠🐾DHAR Adoption Update!🐾🏠

”Hello! Truffle is doing great! She’s gotten much bigger, she’s 9lbs and fluffier than ever. Since adoption she’s become the biggest cuddle bug. She loves to ride around in my arms, play chase, and gets along great with her new sister. While still not the biggest fan of toys, she has a blast spending time with me and my other cat Mochi. I’m planning on teaching her how to go on walks with a vest soon now that the weather is getting good again so the 3 of us can explore the Colorado wilderness together.“

Hooray for Truffle and her family!❤️

🐱”Vanessa here! It’s CATURDAY and I’m today’s featured cat!🐱 This means you get even MORE precious pictures and videos of me than what you’ve already been getting this week. If you follow us closely, you might’ve noticed I’ve basically been featured every single day. And that’s no mistake! Your girl Vanessa here has made sure brighten the day of every visitor we’ve had this week and my love for human companionship has been captured and shared.

I’m a lover of laps, so if you’ve got a lap for me to nestle in I’m there! And playtime? Um, yes please! Wands are my favorite, watch my little bobtail body spin and twirl! If all this doesn’t show you how much I want a home to call my own, I don’t know what else would! Come visit me, take a sit and let me curl up in your lap. I’ll be a perfect fit, I promise.🧡, Vanessa“
