The Huddle Up! program is a collaboration of community partners working together to help Yuma's homeless, neglected, abandoned and injured animals. HSOY has seen an uptick in owner surrenders due to housing, financial and medical reasons and we know that by working together, we can come together to help each other and keep animals with their families. 1,2,3 Break! Join us at the launch party on Oct. 14th at the Dog park at 1705 E. Palo Verde from 10am-1pm. There will be raffle prizes, free kettle corn, free microchips and free collars and tags while supplies last. Special thanks to the City of Yuma's Animal Control and Church for the City for their partnership.

Kitten season is the time of year when cats give birth to litters of kittens that flood our local animal shelter. It normally starts early spring, peaks in summer and ends in the fall and the Humane Society of Yuma struggles to try and save as many as possible. Read more about kitten season in this press release.

Arizona's Pet Friendly License Plate
There’s an amazing “driving force" in the battle against pet homelessness: It's Arizona’s Pet Friendly license plate!
Did you know that HSOY pays $7,280 a month to APS for electricity? The electricity bill is one of the largest expenses for the organization and to reduce the cost, the Humane Society of Yuma went forward with a solar project. In late December, Eckard Commerical Construction Inc. completed the first part of the installation of the solar panels on the roof of the Humane Society of Yuma.
HSOY is launching a solar campaign to reduce their ecological footprint and to put more of their donor dollars directly into the animals.

Raining Cats and Dogs.
It’s the perfect storm; it is raining cats and dogs at the shelter. May is historically one of the most difficult months of the year for the Humane Society of Yuma. We are 23 days into May and have received a total of 649 animals since May 1st. 26 cats and 6 dogs came in, Tuesday morning just within the first two hours of operation. Since 2012, the average intake in May is 945.5 animals, with an overwhelming emphasis on cats and kittens entering the shelter. As of May 1st, 2018 we have taken in 421 cats and kittens for an average of 19 cats per day.
The Humane Society of Yuma has seen a spike in stray animals coming into the shelter. Impound and boarding fees are waived through Sunday, May 13th for reclaiming pets that have entered the shelter from May 1st and who are sterilized or willing to be sterilized.
