Safe Haven recently found a home for Sammy, a black lab who had been struck in the head and left to die in the desert. He was nursed and taken to an eye specialist in El Paso, but he lost his sight in one eye. His brain was not damaged, as he sits on command and is house trained. This eight month old puppy plays happily in his new home. The life of this cat was not in vain, said Fisher, because its story has become part of her media speeches about the need to have animal abuse laws changed.
Research shows that people who kill and abuse animals go on to kill or abuse people.
She is a dynamo of energy and cares very deeply for animals. Our donations are increasing, but so are our needs. We need dog food, cat food, money for veterinary bills and much more. Schlueter invites the public to stop by their office and gift shop at 525 Madrid in Las Cruces any time from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily to see the plans for the Safe Haven facility. The plans include the capacity to house 1,500 animals.
