Paws & Claws Thrift Shop
is by far the most important fundraiser
for the Sierra County Humane Society. It is the source from which Desert
Haven Animal Refuge covers a major part of its operating expenses. The
organization would not survive as it is today without the monthly income
from the shop.

The modest but very busy thrift shop, located in a prime shopping area of
the small town of Truth or Consequences, operates entirely with a
dedicated and hard-working crew of volunteers which keeps it open from
Wednesday through Saturday year round, except on Fiesta Day, the Fourth
of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day.

Thrift Shop Highlights
We offer a great variety of good used and new items to thrifty shoppers,
from one-of-a-kind items to vintage clothing, rare and first edition books,
furniture and even valuable antiques. Because we receive donations on a
regular basis and our display space being limited, we hold great sales each
month of the year.

1. We make available vouchers to nurses who gather items of clothing for
indigents to wear after a hospital stay.

2. We save Bibles and religious books for several non-profit organizations
state wide.

3. We distribute clothing, blankets and household items to local victims of
disasters and in times of crisis.

4. We save new toys and stuffed animals all year long to donate at
Christmas time to the Toys for Tots program.

5. We donate children coats to the Coats for Kids program in Sierra County.

6. Children books, craft items and quilt material are made available, free
of charge, to local non-profit educational facilities working with Sierra
County children.

7. Complimentary coloring books, small toys and children newspapers about
animals are handed out to well-behaved youngsters who visit the shop with
an adult.

8. We save new gift items year-round, to donate to the local Women of
the Moose for their Children�s Christmas Store.

9. We donate boxes of new baseball caps to the residents of the NM
Veterans Home.

10. Vouchers from the thrift shop are made available to people in need who
come to us with a referral from specific community agencies.
