YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – A local non-profit organization is seeking support in its ongoing efforts to rescue and care for stray animals.
Yuma Animal Protection and Rescue, which has been active in the region for over a decade, is looking donations to cover the cost of food, supplies, and shelter for the animals in its care.
The organization has rescued hundreds of animals, including cats, dogs, and even sheep. With limited resources, the group relies heavily on public support to continue its mission of saving and rehabilitating abandoned or neglected animals.
“Even a dollar. You know, the amount of people in Yuma, if everyone donated one dollar, we’d be set,” said President Sharleen Kusmierz. “It’s about saving lives and that’s basically what we’ve been doing for the past ten years.”
Those interested in supporting the organization can make donations through its Facebook page or via GoFundMe.
