None of these achievements would have been possible without you.
Together, we have achieved incredible milestones that would not have been possible without you. This year alone, through our Community Pet Food Pantry, we provided 3,231 bags of pet food to community members who faced financial hardships, ensuring their beloved pets could remain in their homes, well-fed and cared for. Your support also enabled us to offer 1,047 days of pet boarding through our Safety Net Program, giving pet owners peace of mind during emergencies and unforeseen challenges.
Thanks to your generosity, our 2nd Chance Program has delivered much-needed veterinary care to 68 families facing financial difficulties, providing their pets with the medical attention they desperately needed.
We cared for 2,059 unwanted or lost animals, offering them shelter, love and the opportunity for a brighter future. In addition, we found loving homes for 1,234 animals, giving them the second chances they deserve. Each adoption represents a story of hope, love and new beginnings – stories made possible because of you.
One of the most heartwarming accomplishments this year has been the reunion of 642 stray animals with their families. Witnessing these joyful reunions reminds us of the importance of our work and the difference your support makes in the lives of both animals and their humans.
Our commitment to preventing unwanted litters and improving the overall health of pets in our community led us to spay or neuter 970 animals. This vital work not only reduces overpopulation but also contributes to the long-term well-being of countless pets.
Our dedicated veterinary team conducted 4,439 medical exams and administered 6,196 vaccinations, ensuring that every animal in our care – and many in our community – remained healthy and protected. These numbers reflect our shared mission to improve the quality of life for animals and their families.
None of these achievements would have been possible without you. Your belief in our mission, your heartfelt contributions and your willingness to stand by our side have made all the difference. Each dollar donated, hour volunteered and message shared has created ripples of kindness that extend far beyond what we can measure.
As we look to the future, we are reminded of the power of our amazing community and those of you who believe in and support Yavapai Humane Society and our mission, whether it be through donations, supporting our Thrift Store, volunteering to walk the dogs, cuddle the cats and clean the stalls at our Equine Center, you are an integral part of our family and your support inspires us to continue striving for a world where every animal is loved, cared for and valued.
As we enter the holiday season, we encourage you to take pride in the lives you’ve touched and the difference you’ve made. Every wagging tail, purring kitty and grateful pet owner is a testament to the extraordinary impact of your compassion. Together, we are building a stronger, more caring community for all.
From the bottom of our hearts and on behalf of the animals who have found safety, love and hope because of you – thank you.
We can’t wait to see what we will accomplish together in the year ahead. QCBN
