Every package that shows up at our door means one less thing we have to purchase with donor dollars. ❤️

Our Amazon Wishlists are filled with the everyday essentials that keep YAPS running: puppy pads, cleaning supplies, enrichment toys, treats, laundry detergent, kitten formula, and so much more.

Want to make a direct impact on the pets in our care? Pick an item (or two!) from our wishlist and it'll be shipped straight to us. Big or small, every donation helps us stretch our budget further and care for even more animals.

📦 Check out our wishlist here: www.yaps.org/wishlists

Thank you for helping us give every animal the care they deserve. 🐾

🐾 Meet the Regular Show Crew! 🐾

They’ve about to officially hit the 3-month-old mark, and these goofy, lovable pups are more than ready to find families of their own! ❤️

Recently, our friends from Girl Scout Troop 781 stopped by to spend some time with them, and let’s just say… the puppies were very grateful for all the cuddles, playtime, and attention. 🥹

We believe these little ones are Mountain Cur mixes and expect them to grow to around 35–50 pounds full-grown. They’re sweet, social, curious, and at the perfect age to start their next adventure with a family.

If you’ve been thinking about adding a puppy to your home, this might be your sign. 🐶✨

📍To meet one of our Regular Show pups, please submit an adoption application and wait for our team to reach out to schedule your visit. Complete the application at yaps.org/availablepets

Which one would be riding home with you? 💛🏡

SEVEN adoptions in a single day. 🥹🎉

Today, seven YAPS pets packed their bags and headed home with families of their very own. Every adoption is worth celebrating, but days like today remind us why we do this work.

The best part? There are still so many incredible puppies, kittens, dogs, and cats waiting for their turn.

If you’ve been thinking about adding a furry family member, this is your sign. Your perfect match might be waiting for you right now.

Come meet your new best friend and help us keep the happy endings coming. ❤️

Every animal in our care deserves a team that's ready for anything.

Thanks to a grant from the ASPCA and an amazing class from , our entire YAPS staff is now Pet First Aid & CPR certified. 🐾

Because the animals who come to us are often vulnerable, medically fragile, or recovering from difficult situations — and when every second counts, we want to be prepared.

This is what it looks like when we take our commitment to animal care seriously. Not just love and good intentions — but skills, training, and the knowledge to act when it matters most.

We are so grateful to the ASPCA for making this possible, and so proud of this incredible team. 💛 And a huge thank you to Enlighten and all of our community partners who were able to attend.

The animals in our care are in good hands. Literally. 🐾

He was adopted as a puppy. He came back through no fault of his own.

And now Rocky, previously Prosciutto, is ready to find his person — for good this time.

This sweet Aussie/Pit mix has so much love to give. He's gentle with kids, great with other dogs, and somehow still one of the happiest, most trusting dogs in our kennel despite everything he's been through.

He didn't do anything wrong. Life just changed around him.

Rocky deserves a home that sticks. A family who chooses him — and keeps choosing him.

Could that be you?

🐾 Good with kids
🐾 Good with dogs
🐾 Aussie / Pit mix
🐾 Ready for his forever home TODAY

Come meet Rocky at YAPS, Wednesday–Saturday 12–4pm. Or visit yaps.org to learn more.

Tag someone who has room in their home and heart for a second chance dog. 💙
