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 3,000 animals come through our facility for adoption every year. Doing the math on that, more than 141,000 animals have found homes through Yavapai Humane Society. Our main priority is taking care of animals and loving them until they find forever homes. All animals go through behavior assessments and are worked with on any issues they may have, if needed. They are also spayed or neutered, microchipped and fully vaccinated before adoption.
Our Lost and Found Department is where everything starts when an animal comes to us, whether it comes in as a stray, surrendered by an owner or for another reason. Staff members work diligently to reunite lost animals with their owners and on average, 40-80 animals per month are returned safely home! They can be reached at 928-445-2666.
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, Wednesday through Friday and low-cost vaccinations take place on Saturdays, with no appointment necessary. For information on spaying or neutering your pet, please contact them at 928-771-0547, Wednesday through Saturday.
Our Thrift Store is located at 1601 Iron Springs Road in Prescott and is the perfect place to find great deals and support us at the same time. All proceeds from sales directly benefit Yavapai Humane Society. Store hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with donations accepted Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, give them a call at 928-445-5668.
Our Yavapai Humane Society Equine Center is located in Chino Valley at 3731 N Road 1 W. It is an adoption-focused program for horses in need of rehabilitation. Every horse receives health care and training prior to being made available for adoption. We are a member of the Equine Welfare Data Collective and in 2019, received the Grand Prize in ASPCA’s Help A Horse Home Challenge, winning $35,000! This nationwide competition for equine rescues and shelters is designed to increase adoptions of equines around the country. Winners were scored based on their increase in adoptions from the previous year, along with the quality of their promotional content and campaigns on social media. More than 170 groups nationwide participated and we are honored to have won the grand prize. We also hosted a BLM adoption event in April, in which all records were broken for wild horses and burros being adopted during a single adoption event. For more information on our Equine Center, call 928-515-4947 and schedule an appointment.
