Our community partners include Findlay Subaru, which has sponsored many of our events and hosted adoption events at its dealership location. Last year, they presented us with a check for $20,000 from their Share the Love Event. PetSmart provides us with toys, food, adoption events and our cat Adoption Center in their store. Prescott True Value sponsors three segments per month for us on AZTV to share news about YHS and the amazing animals available for adoption. There are many other businesses that have sponsored adoption events, held fundraisers and supported us in various ways. You all matter to us, and we are thankful.
Every time you shop at the Thrift Store, you support us. Every time you have a spay/neuter surgery or get a vaccination for your pet, you support us. Every time you adopt a dog, cat or horse, you support us. Every time you check our social media pages and share a post about an animal available for adoption, you support us, and we are thankful.
As an open entry shelter, animals come to us in every condition imaginable. Many need medical care and time to heal while waiting to find their forever homes. At Yavapai Humane Society, we love and care for them all. We’ve had numerous hoarding situations through the years where many animals come to us under horrid conditions. Because of your support, we are able to treat each of these animals medically, mentally and physically so they are able to find their fur-ever homes. Many animals come to us as strays who have been out on the streets for who knows how long. They are often scared, hungry and in need of medical attention. Because of your support, we are able to give them all the love and care they need so they can go home sweet home.
Through our New Hope Program, we have partnered with other shelters throughout California, New Mexico and Las Vegas, so that we are able to transfer out animals that need another chance at adoption by being in a different location. We are also able to do the same by bringing in animals that are in need from those shelters. The New Hope Program has allowed us to place many hard-to-adopt dogs in new homes. This is all possible because of your support, and we are thankful.
Through our Big Fix Program, we are able to provide very low cost spay/neuter surgeries to those in need who might not otherwise be able to afford these surgeries. This program is funded solely through donations that are specifically dedicated to it. Because of your support, we are able to help decrease cat and dog overpopulation, and we are thankful.
