YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – The Humane Society of Yuma (HSOY) hosted the Seventh Annual Poker for Paws Tournament Saturday.
The tournament took place at Sage & Sand Cocktail Lounge at noon.
Funds from the tournament are going to help vaccinate furry friends in local shelters and get the animals spayed and neutered.
Annette Lagunas, Executive Director of HSOY, shared why this time of year is important to keep pets in mind.
“Summer time is really hard for the Humane Society. You know, we’ve got people going out of town. We’ve got lots of pets coming into the shelter, and now school is starting, and so, families are busy. They’re not necessarily adopting, and unfortunately, a lot of animals get turned over this time of year,” Lagunas expressed.
The first place winner received a $1,000 gift card.
If you’re thinking about adding a furry loved one to your family, head on over to HSOY’s website to see which animals are up for adoption.
