50% off all adoptions in November!
The Humane Society of Yuma is reducing all adoption fees by 50% in the month of November. The "Finding Everyone a Home for the Holidays" promotion has been launched to decrease the number of adoptable pets that we are being forced to euthanize in order to make room for new arrivals.
All HSOY adoptions are 50% off during the month of November at both the shelter and PetSmart. The reduced adoption rates will be as follows. Puppies (four months of age and younger) are $45 at the shelter and $50 at PetSmart, adult dogs $37 at the shelter and $43 at Petsmart. Kittens (four months and younger) are now $27 at the shelter and $32 at Petsmart; cats are now $22 at the shelter and $27 at PetSmart.
Price includes the pet's spay or neuter, vaccinations for distemper, parvo, bordatella, and rabies. It also includes microchipping for dogs. The cats at Petsmart have been tested for feline leukemia and FIV. |

Ye Olde Christmas Shop opens at our thrift store
Our Christmas Shop is now open Monday through Saturday, 9am to 4pm. It's next to our Main Thrift Store behind Audio Einstein's.

 And do you have some extra decorations this year that you're not putting up but are in good enough condition that someone else might want them to make their yard or home more festive? We accept store donations during store hours. Pick up and delivery can be arranged. Call Sherrell at 928.580.1000.
Do not drop off donations after store hours, as they are subject to theft and vandalism.

 Patsy is a young female ( one to two years old) Great Dane mix. She was found wandering the streets and was taken in by a family. Sadly, the family could not keep her. She is a gentle, sweet girl who will need plenty of room to run and play. Due to her life on the streets she had become a bit protective of her food with her former family. She was around a child of ten years and was fine, but found chasing cats a great activity |
