HSOY Homecoming King and Queen announced
 Two HSOY alumni have been pronounced Homecoming King and Queen to preside over this weekend's festivities at Walk 'n Wag 2010. First, the King. KSWT's very own Sunny the Weather Dog will be king of the Bark Park. Yes, Sunny's alma matter is HSOY and, despite all the fame and fawning fans, he's never forgotten his roots. Drum roll, please... This year's Homecoming Queen is none other than Destiny herself. Destiny will be coming down to Yuma this weekend from her Phoenix home to accept her title. Guess who else is going to be there? Hope. The cruelty puppy who was rescued a month ago will be there. So the only question is, why aren't you going to be there? Seriously. Walkers and waggers will walk or run a three mile stretch in the Bark Park (don't worry, you won't get kicked out if you don't finish), while enjoying great tunes and learning the tricks and trades of being a better pet parent.
This is a FREE event (with or without a dog). Walkers with pledges/donations of $25 will receive an event T-shirt and walkers with pledges/donations of $35 or more will receive an event T-shirt and a bandana for their pup.
This year's event promises to be the best yet with a pet photo booth, pet/owner look-a-like contest, food & drinks, pet goodies, pet microchipping, and raffle prizes. The raffle's grand prize this year is a Bose Lifestyle 28 Series III Surround Sound valued at around $2,000.00 donated by Bose Corporation! Activities for everyone young and old, two and four legged.
This year's Walk N Wag homecoming king is KSWT's own Sunny the Weather Dog, and our Queen is Destiny. Destiny is one of our most publicized cruelty cases from two years ago, and she is ready to shine and share her success story with Yuma! Registration begins at 8:15 and the event is at 9am so come on out, Yuma! |
Correction
It was reported in last week's ePaws that our dog adoption center at Petsmart was to open November 13. This is not the case but rather will be opening in the next couple of weeks. There is, however, an adoption fair at PetSmart this weekend.

Thank you Bridget for all you do and loving our animals, your dedication and hard work are greatly appreciated by all.

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 just as our opening of the PetSmart has increased our need for volunteers, so has the opening of our Christmas Shop increased our need for thrift store volunteers. It's a great way to help the animals without having to go in to  the shelter. Call Sherrell at 928.580.1000.
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.
