Why Adopt from YHBR?
When you adopt from us, you're not just gaining a pet β you're saving a life and making space for another rescue. Research consistently shows that companion animal adoption improves emotional wellbeing, reduces loneliness, and strengthens community bonds.
Fully Vetted
All pets receive up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing, flea prevention, and a full health exam before adoption. You start with peace of mind.
Spayed / Neutered
Every dog and cat is spayed or neutered before coming home with you β part of our commitment to reducing pet overpopulation across Yuma and the region.
Microchipped
All pets are microchipped and registered. If they ever get lost, they can always find their way back to you β because that bond matters forever.
Lifetime Support
We're here after the adoption too. Behavior questions, vet referrals, or just celebrating milestones β the human-animal bond is a lifelong commitment, and so are we.

Not Quite Ready to Adopt? Try Foster-to-Adopt
Some animals arrive with us before they've completed their spay/neuter or vaccination series. With our foster-to-adopt pathway, you bring them home now β we handle their remaining medical care β and adoption is finalized once they're fully cleared.
It's the lowest-pressure way to find your forever pet: you get to know them in your home before making it official.
Learn About Foster-to-Adopt βAdoption Fees
Our adoption fees help offset veterinary costs for each rescue. Every pet is already spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before coming home with you.
Fees vary depending on the animal's age, species, and medical history. View each pet's profile on Petstablished for their specific fee, or contact us with any questions.
