Paws & Claws Thrift Shop is, by far, the most important fundraiser
for the Sierra County Humane Society. It covers a major part of Desert
Haven Animal Refuge's 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 is located in a prime shopping area of
the small town of Truth or Consequences. It 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, Fourth of
July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day.











Thrift Shop Highlights
We offer a large variety of good used and new items; one-of-a-kind items,
vintage clothing, rare and first edition books, furniture and even valuable
antiques. We hold great sales each month!















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 educators 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.

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.

come to us with a referral from specific community agencies.
