Who Are We?
Yakima Valley Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization. We are accepting donations to build a No Kill Shelter for the Yakima Valley. Yakima Valley Pet Rescue is an all volunteer, independent referral and placement service established to help people who can no longer keep or provide care for their pets. We provide an alternative to surrendering your cherished pet to a shelter. Yakima Valley Pet Rescue will place your pet on our Petfinder Adoption List and will help find them a new, loving, forever home. We are dedicated to the well being of these animals and their owners. ALL pets placed through this service will be spayed or neutered. PLEASE have your pet spayed or neutered to help solve the pet overpopulation crisis in Eastern Washington.
Yakima Valley Pet Rescue invites you to our Board Meetings held once a month. We meet at 6:00 P.M. on the first Monday of each month. Our meetings are open to anyone interested in saving pets in the Yakima Valley. We meet at Jacksons on Tieton Dr. Bring your ideas, suggestions and any questions you may have about pet rescue in the Yakima area. We look forward to seeing you!

Chili Feed Volunteers Needed
—It takes a lot of work to pull off the chili feed. Please call 248-3113 for chili feed-planning meeting dates and times. We need volunteers to help solicit donations, serve food, put together auction items, set up, clean up, and lots more. If you have 2 hours or 40 hours to help, we can use it!

How do I adopt one of your animals?
We require an application for adoption to be filled out completely and either emailed or returned via regular mail prior to an adoption taking place. We try to place our listed pets in the best possible homes, so we reserve the right to check references and deny an adoption should we feel it's not the right match between the applicant and the pet. All dogs and cats are temperament tested prior to being placed on our web site and on pet finder. We will often rely on the owner's statement to provide you with as much information as possible. All pets are spayed/neutered before being placed in their new homes. Adoption fees are $100.00 for puppies. Puppies under 4 months of age also require a spay/neuter receipt from the adopters vet. This assures us that the puppy will be altered. Adult dogs are $150.00. For cats and kittens $40.00 and that includes a voucher to have that kitten spayed or neutered at no cost at our vet if you are local. If you are from out of town you will need a pre-paid spay/neuter certificate. Donations are appreciated. All donations go toward rescuing and caring for unwanted animals in our area. All adoptions are cash only. Thank you!

HOMES WANTED!
Yakima Valley pet rescue is looking for homes for barn cats. These cats will be spayed/neutered and there will be no charge to you. The only condition we ask is that they be provided food and water and shelter.
