Patty Cake
 Meet this week's media pet is Patty Cake. By
the way she wags her happy tail, you'd never know this two year old,
spayed female boxer/pit bull mix was brought in as a cruelty case. She
was emaciated and was caring for a big litter of puppies. If any dog out
there needs to see what life would be like to be in a family...
that really loves her, Patty Cake's one of those dogs! She's great on a
leash, loves playing with water from the hose and ripping up
cotton-stuffed toys (but what dog doesn't enjoy that)! She loves just
being with people and is great with kids. Patty Cake is a snuggle-bug
and would just love to hang out while enjoying a healthy snack with you
such as carrots (that's just one of her favorite treats). Most
importantly, she would love to show a family of her own what a great dog
she really so come see her for yourself!

Adoption Success Story: Diesel
Erin Jan submitted the following success story on our Facebook page. This is our Diesel, previously known as Penguin
♥ He has been a wonderful addition to our family and loves to play with
my three boys when he isn't lounging on the air conditioning vent! If we could only
convince him that at 70 pounds ,and not even a year old, he is not a lap dog :) I
think that everyone should head to the Humane Society of Yuma when looking
for a new dog. We have always had great luck and there are so many
loving dogs there who need forever homes!

Pizza for Pets in June
 No, we don't feed our pets pizza. "Pizza for Pets" is a fund raiser that Round Table Pizza will be holding to benefit Yuma's homeless pets. On every Wednesday in the month of June, $1 will be donated to the Humane Society of Yuma for every large pizza sold. There are a total of five Wednesdays in this month, so let's make this fund raiser a success. We can make a difference in our homeless pet's lives one slice at a time! |

 Meow-Meow is a little tuxedo girl whose family had no time for her. One of her many skills is hypnosis, so we'll let her have the stage. " My name is Meow-meow. Look into my eyes. You are getting very sleepy. When I snap my fingers you are going to realize that you need to adopt a cat. No, two cats. You will realize that you can adopt two cats for the adoption fees of one. **snap** |
