What Our Community Says

"Timely and Professional"

"What a gem of a shelter/rescue! The website was easy to navigate and had all the information we needed to begin the process of adoption. The follow-up on their end regarding our application and appointment time was timely and professional."

"Staff is friendly and honest..."

We just adopted the sweetest little girl a couple days ago from YAPS and I was so impressed with the facility. The staff is friendly, honest, and really wants the best for the animals. Needless to say, I was very impressed with the facility and the staff, and we are so excited to have our first family dog!

"Above and beyond..."

YAPS was so helpful when my father and his wife had to move to assisted living and could no longer have their pets. They went above and beyond the call of duty to remove the pets from their home. We feel confident they will be safe until they can find another forever home for them. Thank you!
