Great band of dedicated caring people run this animal refuge and what sets it apart is that it is a no-kill place so that regardless of whether the animals get adopted or not, they are guaranteed a cosy home for life.Also incorporated a small RV park which is mainly for the Workampers, but is also available for those travelling through. 25 dollars a night for full 50 amp, water and waste.

The Paws and Claws thrift store is the worst in Truth or Consequences. The store is cold and cluttered. The same stuff sits and sits and sits in the store. (My friend says she's been seeing some of the same items for the past five years.) They never have sales, and most of the items are overpriced. I don't think I'm even going to waste my time going in there again.

My husband, Bob, and I came to volunteer at Desert Haven Animal Rescue on impulse when our motorhome broke its fan belt and we were stranded temporarily in Las Cruces. Call it fate, or perhaps it was the hand of God; all we know that it has been a highly rewarding three months here in Williamsburg, NM.A typical week here consists of two half days of work and one full day (Tuesday, when everyone pitches in all day.) Two mornings are spent doing animal care and on Tuesday afternoons and Friday afternoons we do projects.Bob works on repairing what needs fixing and I work pricing items for Paws and Claws Thrift Shop, which helps support the animal rescue. I have been amazed to see the variety and quality of the items in the thrift shop. The people we work with have been wonderful and we have become good friends with them. It hardly feels like work at all at times! And the animals are great fun.I have gotten very close to a couple of the dogs but as we already have two very spoiled rescues (a dog and a cat) we are unable to adopt more at this time. I have also enjoyed caring for the cats and the birds. What a thrill to see the peacocks strut their stuff!We love the little campground here. Our view of the Caballo Mountains gives us a show every evening as the sun is setting, and the other campers and residents are good neighbors. It is so peaceful here.On our days off we have visited Truth or Consequences, Socorro, Hatch, Chloride, Elephant Butte, Caballo, and spent time in Las Cruces. We plan a trip to the dentist in Puerto Palomas in Mexico before we leave here. There is a lot to do in this area, and it is very beautiful.Our 3 months here has flown by, and while it is time to move on we will be leaving with very fond memories of our workamping experience. We will make a point of stopping in when we come through this area again.

Google has this confused. This is not the human society. These animals are up for adoption. This is a NO KILL place. Those that are not adopted live here for there life. RV sites for some volunteers. Please visit their thrift store, Claws and Paws at 106 East 1st, T or C. 87901 Overpriced Blaize??? Yes they need to get rid of some of the things. They are doing the best they know. Perhaps if you have business experience you could help them. Shop there to help raise needed money for these animals, not for the prices, or you can go to Walmart and send your money to the Walton family.
