No Salaries. Every Dollar Fights for an Animal.
Not one person on our team draws a salary — every volunteer gives their time for free. That means your donation goes further here than at most nonprofits: straight to food, vet bills, medications, and spay/neuter surgeries. We do have real operating costs — shelter rent, utilities, supplies — but zero payroll. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN: 87-1834208), your gift is fully tax-deductible.
Exactly What Your Money Does
These aren't approximations. This is the actual cost of care for real animals in our program right now.
What Donations Actually Fund
No salaries, ever. Here's what operational donations actually fund.
One Week of KMR
Kitten milk replacer is what keeps neonate litters alive through bottle feeding. Without it, they don't make it. $15 covers a full week for one kitten.
Full Vaccination Series
Core vaccines for one rescue cat or dog — the step that takes them from vulnerable to adoption-ready. The single most common thing donations pay for.
Spay/Neuter Surgery
One surgery prevents dozens of future litters and clears an animal for adoption. It's the highest-impact single donation you can make for animals in Yuma.
Emergency Vet Visit
When a rescue arrives sick or injured, this is what stands between suffering and recovery. Donations are what let us say yes when an animal is in crisis.
Not a single dollar goes to administration or salaries — every cent above goes to a specific animal in our care right now.

How Your Donation Helps
Here's exactly what your gift means for a rescue animal in Yuma.
Food & Supplies
Every dollar funds the food, crates, bedding, and daily supplies our foster animals need.
Vet Care
Vaccinations, spay/neuter surgeries, and medical treatment are covered entirely by donations.
Foster Support
We fully equip every foster home — your gift makes sure no foster family has to pay out of pocket.
Emergency Rescues
When animals arrive injured or critically ill, donations fund the emergency care that saves their lives.
Other Ways to Make an Impact
Beyond cash and supplies, there are several meaningful ways to support YHBR and the animals of Yuma.
🎁 In-Kind Donations
Towels, blankets, dog crates, leashes, cleaning supplies — things gathering dust in your garage are actively needed in our foster homes right now. Reach out and we'll arrange a pickup or drop-off. One garage cleanout can supply a foster home for months.
🏢 Corporate Matching
Many employers will match what you give, dollar for dollar, to nonprofits like YHBR. Check with HR — a $50 donation becomes $100. A $100 gift becomes $200. You do the same thing you were going to do anyway, and an animal gets twice the care. It takes one email to find out if your employer matches.
📋 Planned Giving
Leave a lasting legacy for Yuma's animals by including YHBR in your will or estate plan. Contact us to discuss your options.
