Mary Ann Scrimgeour

Mary Ann  Scrimgeour purchased a $100 memorial brick in memory of her son, Thomas Scott.  Along with the $100 was $9,900 for the new shelter.  Mrs. Scrimgeour’s kind and generous gift put the “wind in the sails” of what had been a very still sea for the new animal shelter brick project.  When she was contacted and given the new shelter naming opportunities, Mary Ann said to use the funds in anyway for construction of the shelter.   A tremendous heartfelt thank you to Mary Ann for her support and renewing our spirits of hope.

Thank you to Fatima and CJ Ajad

CJ and Fatimah Ajad stood outside Sam’s Club selling their “famous Italian ices” to passers by for one dollar each.  At the end of the weekend, they had made $880 for the Humane Society of Yuma. Great work!

Sam’s Club has been very generous to the Humane Society of Yuma.  In addition to allowing us to set up various fund raisers outside their doors, they have just recently donated two pallets of dog food for our foster parents.

DOG FOUND STABBED - PRESS RELEASE

(Yuma, AZ) The Humane Society of Yuma and local law enforcement are seeking information regarding a dog found dead with a stab wound. Certain details of the case are being withheld due to an ongoing investigation.

On the morning of July 24th, HSOY received a report of a dead dog on the grounds of a local area school. The responding officer observed what appeared to be a laceration around the
dog’s mouth. The officer collected evidence before leaving the scene.

A local veterinarian examined the dog and confirmed that the dog had been stabbed. The examining veterinarian believed that the dog’s death was caused by the injury.

“This type of heinous cruelty should be of special concern to the community,” said HSOY Director of Operations, Annette Lagunas. “The connection between animal cruelty and human
violence has been well-documented.”

Anyone with further information regarding this case is encouraged to contact the Humane Society of Yuma at 928-782-1621, ext 106.
