The Humane Society of Yuma has met with a lot of success with spreading the message across Yuma on responsible pet care and bringing awareness to the community of pet over-population and cruelty.  In Paw Prints (our semi-annual newsletter) on our website,  in ePaws (our weekly e-newsletter), and on our bi-weekly radio program "All Things Pets," which airs on Saturday mornings from 11am -12pm on KBLU 560.

But to keep the line of communications clear, we need businesses, organizations and individuals to take advantage of some of our sponsorship opportunities and packages.  

We have some great ways to show your support for the Humane Society of Yuma this holiday season and increase your visibility in the community as well. 

Our semi-annual newsletter is mailed out to nearly 3,000 supporters and distributed to adopters and at events for the next six months. The next one is due out the second week of December.

Foxie, a two year old Australian cattle dog, and her "sister" Kip, a nine year old lab mix, were pressed into service helping fire fighters from the US Forest Service. In late June, a lighting strike started the Little Lewis forest fire near a church camp in Sacramento, New Mexico where her foster parents were volunteering as United Methodist NOMAD missionaries. 

 

The fire quickly spread and the camp with 150 campers was evacuated. Two days later, after the fire burned within 50 yards of the camp, Foxie returned to the camp that now served as a base camp for firefighters. Every morning before the firefighters left and evening when they returned, Foxie and Kip would greet and play with the crews giving them much need relaxation. It was a busy job as 280 firefighters were now based and fed at the camp. Five weeks later, as the last crew prepared to leave, there was a knock on the RV door as the final crew came to say goodbye to the dogs.

 

Editor's note:  Foxie and Kip are both foster failures and are living permanently with their foster parents turned adoptive parents, Gary and Kathy Woelm.  Many thanks to Foxie and Kip for their admirable service and to Gary for contributing this story.
