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!

W***y (tan) was a volunteer favorite. A great boy. Jittery, stressed, high strung. Good with people and dogs. Clingy, nervous, needy. Lovable, friendly, eager for help.

W***y changed in a lot of positive ways while living with us and he even had a very devoted lady give him several weeks of her time to see if he might be a good fit with her. While it wasn’t the right fit, we all learned a lot about this honey in the process.

In walks another devoted lady with a set of skills for the right fit! Dog sister to serve as mentor. Dog mama with new ideas to help W***y in all the ways he needs support.

We are pleased as punch to share that W***y is home! He’s adopted. He’s going to be alright, better than alright. He’s going to get the chance to shine brightly as the dog he was meant to be!

W***y now Wylee, shine on good boy! ✨✨✨

Some of you have kids that are annoying, challenging, effortful, intense — right?! — and you’re like, “Geez my kid sure is weird. I hope people like him or at least don’t pick on him.”

And you do your best to help your child grow and thrive and just pray he encounters kind people along the way.

Well that’s how I feel about Twix. (This is Greta.) He’s all that and a bag of chips. And I always hope everyone that volunteers at Desert Haven is kind to my weird red-headed child 🤣

Well, not only is everyone respectful of what Twix needs and kind to him, they love him!

So much so that our former work camper, super supporter, and all-time-Twix-lover, 🌟Kendra🌟, commissioned a painting in Twix’s honor!

And our former work camper, artist with abundant talent, and Twix champion, 🎨Hannah🎨, painted a rendition that is SO TWIX we are all just reeling at his perfectly captured smirky smirk while being tempted by his favorite toy to de-squeak, Lamb-chop.

Bolstered by the whimsy of the work, Hannah has decided to open up a Pet Portrait Commissions line in her art business Riveras Rarities. To speak with Hannah Rivera about making your pet shine you can direct message her on Facebook or email her at [email protected].

Sam’s footage with Mykelle’s words.

Here is The Enzo Report 💎

“Mr. Enzo apparently enjoys poems about dreams. I read him a variety and some he perked up to than others.

I also brought treats in left 2 by him and left the other 3 my my arm. He eventually ate the ones by him and then got up to walk over and take the other 3, 3 different times.

I did give brief eye contact but not like full eye contact just to acknowledge he was there cause he was looking at me and getting as comfortable as he could get but I didnt do too much.

Just a little Enzo update.”

This big bright ray of Hawaiian shirted sunshine bee bopped into our dogs lives two months ago. Man did we luck out!

Kyle is pictured here with his wife Katie. She’s glorious as well but Kyle has quickly become a summer staple of positive high energy volunteerism at Desert Haven. He lifts us all up, canine and human alike.

If you ever see Kyle around town give him a fist bump and a giant thank you for being so generous and loving to our dogs this summer! He became a dog walker at a time we really needed a dog walker and he comes three times a week to help us get our pups socialized and exercised. He dotes on our tiny timid puppies and confidently walks our big 75 pounders too. All the while keeping a huge smile on his face and spreading his brand of happiness around. It’s contagious and we love it! 🥰

One of our puppies, Burnt Marshmallow, had an applicant in Arizona without a reliable car to make the trip. Kyle raised his hand for transport! He really does it all 🕺🎉🐾😘🌟

Pictured here are Kyle and Katie picking up Baby Burnt Marshmallow last night as they embark on the trip to help make Marshie an Arizona girl. Thank you, Kyle! We’re so grateful you came into our lives this summer to make it brighter and more energetic for our dogs and us.

Stay tuned for an adoption announcement☀️
