Yavapai Humane Society (YHS) has been serving Yavapai County's citizens and animals since 1972. YHS has a shelter in Prescott, a Cat Adoption Center in PetSmart, a Thrift Shop and a separate spay/neuter clinic offering low-cost spay/neuters and low-cost vaccinations. In July of 2010, we adopted a "no-kill" ethic which has led to our current live release rate of 97 percent, making YHS the safest shelter in Arizona and among the safest in the nation.
