Humane Society of Yuma
Our Mission
The Humane Society of Yuma is devoted to reducing the number of homeless pets through dedicated adoption, rescue, and essential spay and neuter programs. Our goal is to ensure every animal receives the care and respect they deserve as they wait for their forever homes.
Our History and Purpose
Since 1963, we have served as Yuma's primary resource for the rescue, care, and placement of orphaned pets. As a non-profit organization, our work is driven by a deep commitment to animal welfare and protecting our community’s pets through education and accessible services.
Our Care Philosophy
We pride ourselves on an open, transparent shelter environment where every animal is treated with patience and compassion. From providing fresh food, daily exercise, and comfortable bedding for every dog to ensuring cats have toys and clean environments, our staff works tirelessly to maintain high standards of well-being. We believe that providing a clean, healthy, and enriching stay is the best way to prepare our animals for a smooth transition into your home.
Building Lifelong Friendships
Adoption is a joyful journey, and our team is here to help you find the perfect match for your lifestyle. Whether you are looking for a playful companion or a calm best friend, we encourage you to consult with our expert adoption counselors who understand the unique personalities of our animals. By choosing adoption, you are not just gaining a companion; you are saving a life and making space for another animal in need.
