Surrender Services

Due to many factors, including the recent economic downturn, occasionally some owners feel they must surrender their dog or cat to Yavapai Humane Society. If you are considering relinquishment, we encourage you to take advantage of our Animal Behavior Consultants, who are members of our staff here to give advice on animal behavior and other resources we can provide.  Please note, Yavapai Humane Society is often at full capacity and maintains a waiting list and does not accept walk-ins. Please call us ahead to check availability, make an appointment, and save your time: (928) 445-2666.
