YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – With fireworks just around the corner, Yuma officials are working to keep pets safe this Fourth of July.
The City of Yuma, Yuma County and the Humane Society of Yuma (HSOY) are hosting two free microchipping events this month. They’ll take place June 21 at the HSOY and June 28 at Carver Park.
No appointment is needed and pet owners from anywhere can participate.
The goal is to help lost pets get back home quickly during a time of year when fireworks often lead to pets escaping.
In addition to microchipping, there will be adoption specials and food trucks on site.
