Yavapai Humane Society More Than a Shelter
By Loree Walden, Marketing Manager at Yavapai Humane Society
Yavapai Humane Society is all encompassing when it comes to our services! Here’s some information on who we are and what we do! Our main campus, located at 1625 Sundog Ranch Road, is home to
our Adoptions Center and our Lost and Found Department. We’ve been serving our community since 1972 and have an average of over 3,000 animals come through our facility for adoption every year! Doing the math on that, over 141,000 animals have found homes through Yavapai Humane Society! Our main priority is taking care of go through behavior assessments and are worked with on any issues they may have, if needed. In addition, they go through a medical assessment and are treated for anything that may be discovered as well as being spayed or neutered and microchipped, before they are adopted. We have approximately 45 full time employees and over 100 volunteers! Our volunteers are essential to our operation and we appreciate each of them. There are always necessities for volunteers in all phases of our operations so if you’re interested in volunteering, contact our volunteer coordinator, Allie, at 928-445-2666 X 103! Our Lost & Found Department is where everything starts when an animal comes to us, whether it comes in as a stray, surrendered by owner or another reason. They work diligently to reunite lost an- imals with their owners and average 40-80 animals per month re- turned safely home! That’s an average of 22,500-45,000 animals that have been reunited with their owners! It’s important to microchip your animals, even if they are indoor animals, as you never know when one could get out. Having a microchip with up to date infor- mation could reunite you with your animal very quickly! It’s also - nition platform for reuniting animals! Our Spay/Neuter and Wellness Clinic, located at 2989 Centerpointe East Drive in Prescott, provides low cost spay/neuter surgeries and vaccinations! Surgeries are performed by appointment only, Wednes- day through Friday and low cost vaccinations take place on Satur- days, with no appointment necessary! We perform an average of 120 surgeries per week and an average of 100 vaccinations! It’s important to spay or neuter your pet as 1 unspayed female and 1 unneutered male cat can produce 12 kittens in 1 year, and up to 66,088 kittens in 6 years. The statistics for dogs is just as staggering with the possibility of 512 puppies being born in just 3 years and 7,000 in 6 years! Here’s an- other way to put it into perspective, for every human born, 15 dogs are
born and 45 cats are born! Which means, there will never be enough humans for all the animals out there! For information on spaying or neutering your pet, please con- tact us at 928-771-0547, Wednes- day through Saturday. Our Thrift Store is located at
1601 Iron Springs Road in Prescott great deals and support us at the same time!
