Last week, we asked our Facebook followers to nominate us for a $70,000 pet supplies contest by liking Dr. Marty Becker's Facebook page and posting their nomination on his wall.  

The contest received more than 13,000 nominations, and 50 finalists have been selected at random from among them, and will go on to the voting round. And, HSOY was one of the 50!  

As part of the BIG Bus Tour celebrating the release of Your Dog: The Owner's Manual, Dr. Marty Becker is giving away pet care products, supplies and equipment valued at more than $70,000 to shelters and rescue groups across the country, all donated by leading pet and veterinary product manufacturers.

Dear Linda,

My wife and I adopted a six month old female terrier named Becky from the Humane Society of Yuma about a month ago. I was informed the humane society would like to receive future pictures of Becky and the family she is with. I will attach a few pictures I have already and will be send more later. Becky is doing great, she has adjusted really quickly and seemes to be loving her new home. We have fallen in love with her and could not imagine our lives without her. I hope you enjoy the pictures and you can find joy that, thanks to the services you have provided, she now has a loving family and a happy, loving forever home.

Respectfully,

Uwe Esser 

The larger, square radio is a 'Crosley'.  It is a radio, CD player, cassette deck and a turntable.  All work, but the turntable Everything except the turntable works.  We think it's  possible that the turntable just needs a new 'belt'.  It retails on the internet for up to $270.00, and we have it listed for $65.00. 

The smaller, oval-shaped radio is a Norman Rockwell, collector's edition radio.  It is a 'Thomas' (brand) and is a numbered edition.  It is a combination radio and cassette deck.  Both work and we have it priced at $75.00. 

Daisy has been with us here at our shelter since March 31st. Everyone here just loves Daisy and Daisy loves everyone back! Daisy is a spaniel mix. She's around four years old and is just as sweet as can be. 

Daisy walks well on a leash, is mellow, but is always happy and wiggling her tail. Daisy is also a love bug and just loves being in the arms of a certain someone - you! Daisy would make a perfect companion and an even more grateful friend for saving her. 

Daisy is a good girl and she has now joined our Lonely Heart's Club so her adoption fee is only $65. Such a small price to pay for a lifetime of love. So please come meet with Daisy, she would be more than happy to visit and give you love and kisses!
