REMEMBER: PETS DIE IN HOT CARS!

YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW how quickly a car baking beneath the Yuma summer

sun can become a death trap for a dog locked inside. But do you know what to

do if you come across a pets in peril?

DONT DELAY Time is of the essence. On a 90F day, the interior of a vehicle can

reach 160F in minutes. Imagine how much hoer it can get inside a vehicle on

a typical Yuma summer day with outside temperatures well above 110F.

CALL 911 If the animal is in distress, call 911 rst. Then call HSOY dispatch at

782-1621. State and local laws allow ocers to forcefully enter vehicles.

TAKE DOWN the cars color, model, make, and license plate number and have

the owner paged inside nearby stores. If there are a number of stores nearby,

try and recruit others to go to as many stores as possible. Have someone keepan eye on the pet.

Why Adopt?

When you want to make a good

impression you need to look your

best. Our pets rely on the discounted

or donated beaufying skills of many

local groomers.

GROOMER FRIENDSWe work hard to get as many dogs a

cket out of Dodge on the Rescue

Express as possible. We are indebted

to the several breed-specic rescues

from the region who open their doors

to Yumas homeless pets.

There are two places you can wag tails

with our adoptable pets.

The rst and most obvious is at our

shelter. We are open Tuesday through

Saturday. Our oce hours are 9-5 and

our kennel hours are 11-5:30pm.

The second place is at PetSmart. A few

privileged cats reside there and areavailable for meet & greets in-between

naps.

Several of our dogs make the trip over to

PetSmart on Saturdays and Sundays.

You can save a life. Over 60% of cats and dogs that the Humane Society of

Yuma takes in are euthanized every year. There are many more homeless animals

looking for a home than there are homes adopng them. Every pet deserves a

chance at a forever home. With so many wonderful cats and dogs entering our

shelter every day, you are sure to nd a forever friend.

Many are trained. Owners turn over their animals in large numbers. Many of

these animals come already trained, with a history of their behaviors, likes, and

dislikes.

Many are purebred. If you have your heart set on a purebred you may be

surprised to know that 20% of the dogs that enter our shelter are purebreds.

Thanks to local media outlets, many

of our adoptable animals get to strut

their stu in the limelight and be

HSOY's goodwill ambassadors to the

community.
