Meet our Pet(s) of the Week Sadie and Cutter!
Sadie and Cutter are 2 year old female and male mixed breeds that came into the shelter together.
They are not bonded though and could be adopted separately or as a pair. They both get along well with other dogs, love attention and would do great in a family with children. Sadie can be quite vocal while Cutter has a bit of a shy side. Shelter ID # 115153 & 115152.
To view adoptable animals visit www.hsoyuma.com, the HSOY Main Shelter located at 4050 S Ave. 4 1/2 E, or the Pet'sMart Adoption Center located inside of Petsmart at the Yuma Palms Mall.
The City of Yuma Parks and Recreation Department has opened registrations for swimming lessons starting Monday, May 5, offering a great opportunity for local families to get ready for summer swim season.
Classes will begin Monday, June 2 at Marcus Pool (545 W. 5th St.) and Carver Pool (1250 W. 5th St.). The cost for lessons is $28 for residents within Yuma city limits and $42 for non-residents.
This year, the Greater Yuma Water Safety Alliance (GYWSA) has set two clear goals for the community: to expand access to swim lessons for infants and preschool-aged children, and to offer free CPR and water safety training for residents throughout Yuma County. These efforts are designed to give families the tools they need to stay safe in and around water—from building early swim skills to knowing how to respond in an emergency.
For scholarship details or to register for swimming lessons, visit the Parks and Recreation Department located on the first floor of City Hall, or call (928) 373-5200.

May 17 | 5PM

Testimony is warfare and your story might be the spark that lights someone else’s faith on fire. So grab your courage, your coffee, and your crew, and come exalt the name of JESUS with us.
Whether it’s been a mountaintop or a valley, God’s been good; This is your moment to tell it.
Let’s gather as brothers and sisters, let’s get real, and let’s lift up the only name that saves.
Mic’s open. Are you ready? ?????????

We’re not here to perform. We’re here to fight. With raised hands, tear-streaked faces, and hearts fully surrendered—this night is about going to war in the Spirit. For our families. For our city. For the ones barely holding on. Come ready. Come desperate. Come expecting heaven to move. Worship is our weapon. Jesus is our victory.
