Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to our most common questions.
Yes — completely. Not a single person at YHBR has ever received a salary or stipend. Every dollar donated goes directly to animal care: vet bills, food, supplies, and operations. Our volunteers do this purely out of love for animals and community. This has been true since day one.
Our shelter at 1020 S 4th Ave, Suite B, Yuma, AZ 85364 houses our cats and is open Mon–Fri, 12pm–5pm — no appointment needed. Walk in, meet the cats, and fill out an application on the spot. Dogs are in foster homes across Yuma; meet-and-greet details are arranged after application approval.
Once your adoption application is reviewed and approved, we'll coordinate next steps. For cats, simply walk in during business hours (Mon–Fri 12–5pm), fill out an application on the spot, and take your cat home the same day if approved. For dogs in foster homes, we coordinate with the foster family for a meet in Yuma.
We review surrenders on a case-by-case basis based on our current foster capacity. Please use the Surrender Request form above or email [email protected] with photos and details about the animal. We'll do our best to help or connect you with additional resources.
Yes! We offer free and low-cost spay/neuter assistance for qualifying Yuma residents. Use the Spay/Neuter Assistance form above or email [email protected]. We believe spay/neuter is the single most impactful way to reduce pet overpopulation at the source.
For found animals, please first contact Yuma County Animal Control at (928) 341-8800. If the animal is in immediate danger, call local authorities. YHBR can sometimes assist with rehoming found pets when capacity allows — email us with details and we'll do our best to help or connect you with resources.
