Last HSOY Rabies Clinic before March 31st deadline at Foothills
The last HSOY Rabies Clinic before the March 31st deadline will be at the Foothill's Pioneer Shopping Center from 10am to 1pm tomorrow, Saturday, March 19. All dogs three months or older residing in Yuma County must be licensed by March 31st.
The license verifies that your dog is current with his/her rabies vaccination. If your dog is vaccinated, you may license online with a scanned or faxed copy of your dog's valid rabies certificate. A valid certificate must be signed by a U.S. licensed veterinarian, state whether your dog is altered or not, and be current through at least April 1st. If a rabies vaccine expires during the year, your dog must be revaccinated in order to keep the license valid.
A license is invalid during any lapse between the expiration of a vaccination and revaccination. If your dog needs to be vaccinated, the Humane Society of Yuma holds a number of rabies clinics at locations around the county for your convenience. |

HSOY extends a very belated thank you to Castle Dome Middle School
As you can see by this photo, we'd like to extend a very belated thank you to the Castle Dome Middle School's Student Council.
astle Dome Middle School's "Paws for a Cause" drive started on the 1st and ended the 15th of December. Billie Ciotti had come to Student Council with the idea to set up a committee of six student council members.
Angela Jumbeck was chair, Lieren Hefner was co chair and Kylee Simpson, Bethany Price, Alex fuller, Alyssa Estrada were part of the committee. Mrs. Nicole Wilhelmy is the Advisor. Dr. Richardson would anounce each morning that the homeroom who brought in the most pet supplies would win a pizza party paid for by student council. Mr Ham's homeroom (8th grade) won the party after the students collected and counted the supplies on Wednesday.
