The Morongo Basin Humane Society is sponsoring rattlesnake aversion training March 7. Each dog is trained individually to avoid rattlesnakes that are native to our desert region; training is done by experienced dog trainers from Natural Solutions Wildlife Enterprises. The training cost is $75 per dog and the no-kill animal shelter in Joshua Tree receives a portion of the fee. For more information, or to sign up, call Mimi at 760-366-9306.
