HELP RUDY
GET BACK IN THE GAME.
Dear ,
We need your help to give Rudy, our latest victim of cruelty, the good life he deserves. Rudy was found hobbling with a broken leg in a crude splint. It is estimated that Rudy had been hobbling along on his broken limb for over a week, greatly complicating the fracture and making any chance of properly setting the bones impossible.
Rudy needs his leg amputated and we're turning to the Roo Bee Cruelty Fund to finance the necessary veterinary procedures."Failure to provide veterinary care" is animal cruelty in Arizona and it is clear that the individual or individuals who left Rudy to fend for himself did him a grave disservice. Watch Rudy's video.
Please give to our Roo Bee Cruelty Fund so we'll be able to give Rudy and other victims of animal cruelty the chance they deserve to live the good life.
Remember, save one until there are none.
Sincerely,
Edward Snook
Print & Electronic Media
Humane Society of Yuma
P.S. Rudy's surgery and post-op care will run around $2,000. Would raising the full amount by midnight tonight be too ambitious of a goal? Not for Rudy.
No amount is too small. Let's do this.

Media Pet of the Week: Donkey
Donkey is about three months old. He's been
neutered and has his first series of shots, rabies vaccine, and a
microchip. Donkey was found and brought into our shelter without a
collar or tags. Worst of all, no one ever came to say, "Hey Donkey,
let's go home!". Sadly, the missing owners who never show up to find
their dog is a reality here at HSOY. So our
mission again this week is to find Donkey and many more of our adoptable
cats and dogs their forever homes! And, as always, to spread the word
about how important it is to spay and neuter your animals.

June is Adopt a Cat Month
Adopt two for the price of one.
Every year, the Humane
Society of Yuma joins animal shelters across the country in recognizing
June as Adopt a Shelter Cat Month. June is the cruelest month of kitten
season and in hopes of alleviating the tragedy, two cats may be adopted
for the fees of a single adoption.
Our cat room is filled with
cutest kittens waiting for you to take them and a buddy home. So take
some time this Memorial Day weekend to sit down with your furry children
and prepare them for the arrival of more fluffy siblings.
