‼️YVAS IS CRITICALLY FULL‼️
‼️YVAS IS CRITICALLY FULL‼️
We are reaching out to you, our community and surrounding areas, with an urgent plea: our kennels are FULL, and we desperately need your help!
The overwhelming number of animals in our care impacts our time to provide the high-quality care each pet in our care receives on a daily basis, causing great strain on our staff. With our kennels at capacity, we also face challenges in accommodating the daily new arrivals we get in.
Many of our current adoptable animals came to us as strays, and while we are committed to finding each displaced animal a loving home.. we recognize most have been well cared for and possibly already have a family looking for them.
Due to our lack of kennel space and influx of “strays” not being reclaimed by their families, we are offering TWO promos to get these animals out of here.
We are offering discounted adoption fees:
💙Adult Cats/Dogs: $25
💚Kittens/Puppies: $50
Along with:
🧡WAIVED RECLAIM FEES
This means our adoption prices are almost completely discounted, and that if your animal is here at YVAS as a stray; it is FREE to come down and be reunited with your best fur-iend!
We are located at 1735 Monad Road, open 12-7pm Mon-Fri, CLOSED Wed, 12-5pm Sat-Sun. Adoptions do end 1 hour before close each day.
(Please note we cannot waive city license fees. You will have to purchase a city license at the time of adoption or claim out.)
Help us help them! It’s Kitten Season and your donations help provide the food, shelter, & veterinary care these babies need to thrive. https://yvas.org/make-a-gift/

Hey Swifties, help us get this important document to Taylor!
Here at YVAS, we're still reflecting on the incredible journey that was 2023:
🐕 We saw 4,900+ intakes of lost & transitioning animals.
🐾 3,100+ spay & neuter surgeries were performed by our medical team.
🐱 Nearly 2,800 free pet ID tags were given out through our Project Reunite.
🐾 And 640 animals benefited from our Foster Program.
Stay tuned for our full 2023 Report to the Community which will be shared in the coming weeks. In the meantime, cheers to a paws-itively wonderful New Year!
We're incredibly grateful to our paw-some corporate sponsor, Hensel Law, PLLC, for making a real difference in the lives of our furry friends! Their generous support doesn't just keep our doors open; it helps us run lesser-known programs that are crucial for animals in need.
One such program is our dedicated treatment for cats with ringworm. Thanks to Craig and Hensel Law, we can provide specialized care, medication, and a cozy environment for these feline friends on their journey to recovery. 💕
UPDATE: ADOPTED! 🎉
Say hello to Coco Puff!
This charming canine is our longest-stay resident, and has been with us since October after her owner passed away. Our team is cuckoo for Coco Puff - who’s melted our hearts with her great manners and sweet demeanor. Coco is being housed in a quiet part of the shelter, so be sure to check with our front desk for a meet & greet today!
A huge shoutout to our Pack Leader, Altana Federal Credit Union for helping us spotlight special animals like Coco Puff. Help us share and let’s find this resilient pup a forever home filled with love.
Are you needing a cuddle buddy for all this gloomy weather? Well we are overrun with dogs of all sizes and ages, who would love to occupy your couch with snuggles and kisses.
We are currently running our “It’s raining cats and dogs” promo, where now through June 11th adult dogs (and cats) are only $25 to adopt and puppies are $50.
So come on by during our adoption times and get yourself a thunder buddy!

Thank you to our paw-some foster families who participated in this year's Home for the Holidays program! Home for the Holidays allowed the shelter's un-adopted animals a loving place to stay during the Christmas break. Those pets still looking for their fur-ever homes have returned to YVAS and are excited to meet you when we re-open tomorrow at noon!
Preview available animals here: https://yvas.org/adopt/
Thank you to everyone who purchased gifts for our animals - as you can see, you helped make their holiday week a special one!
We’re also happy to report that many of our animals found their fur-ever homes just in time for Christmas. The few who didn’t are grateful to our foster families for giving them a temporary place to call their own while the shelter is closed for the holiday. These critters will be back at the shelter and excited to meet you when we resume regular business hours on Tuesday the 27th at noon.
MERRY CHRISTMAS from all of us at YVAS!
🎉 Congratulations to the winner of our howliday raffle bundle! 🎉
Thank you to everyone for purchasing tickets and supporting the animals of YVAS.

Our whole team is stumped as to how Vivian hasn’t been adopted yet! In case you haven’t noticed, we’re all kind of obsessed with this sweet and plumpy lady. 😍
Stop by today between 12-6 to meet Vivian in person and be sure to follow us on TikTok for more silly videos to make you smile!
UPDATE: All puppies have been adopted!
We’ve got PUPPIES! ❤️
Today from 12-4:30 our Learning Center (2010 Grand Avenue) is turning into a puppy palooza! We have two Aussie mixes along with three Anatolian Shepherd mixes ready to find their fur-ever homes. Puppies are $200 to adopt, which includes their spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccines, and microchipping.
These adorable balls of fluff have spent the last few weeks in foster care patiently awaiting their new homes, so stop by our Learning Center today for a meet & greet!
One year ago today, a very special kitty had a lifesaving procedure at YVAS!
Lieutenant Dan was brought to YVAS with severe injuries to both of his back legs, to the point where they were both pretty much already gone and required complete amputation to allow him to heal properly. While we may never know what happened to him in his past, we are so thrilled to have received an update from his adoptive family.
Danny is doing GREAT, and although he did get a special wheelchair (thanks to many of you!) as you can see he is an independent, adventurous guy! Because of the hard work and dedication of our medical team and his amazing foster family, Dan is now able to run, play with his animal siblings, navigate stairs on his own, and enjoy life just like any other cat. We are so happy to have been able to give him another chance at life!
If you've adopted an animal from us and would like to share your adoption success stories, join our YVAS Alumni Facebook group! We love seeing our animals thriving in their new homes!
