Adopting a Pet

At Yucaipa Animal Placement Society we have many wonderful dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens available for adoption. We rescue pets from local shelters and take in pets from owners can no longer care for them and we house them at the YAPS rescue facility until they are adopted.

MakING a Donation

Yucaipa Animal Placement Society’s (YAPS) mission is to provide a temporary safe haven for orphan pets until a permanent loving home can be found. Donations allow us to carry out our mission to save more lives. Your contributions go towards fees for providing care to the pets of YAPS.

Meet (and Adopt!) Koda!

Have you been looking for a faithful companion and a best-good dog? Not sure of what you’re looking for but know you want a new best friend? Koda might just be your gal! She’s broken hearted since coming back to YAPS and unsure of what she did wrong. So she comes off as withdrawn, but once she trusts you- she is THE BEST! She is housebroken, walks well on leash, politely asks for pets with the sweetest begging eyes and nose kisses, gently takes treats and rides great in the car! And while she would prefer to be your one and only pet, she makes up for it in spades with love, loyalty and affection!
Koda is a spayed female cattledog mix, she is about 5yrs old and about 50lbs when she puts on a little weight. Perfect cuddle buddy size!

Pet Adoption

Our Adoption Process

We always ask that the dog(s) that are part of your family come in to meet their new potential canine pal.  If you are renting, we need landlord approval before the pet can go home. We require that you meet a pet in person before adopting.

Adopting FAQs

Choosing a pet is a very personal decision, and we feel it is best that the person who will be caring for the pet be involved in the process. Since adopting a pet is a commitment for life, we feel it is very important to insure the highest quality relationship for both the pet and family.
