The Issues
Shelter Overcrowding
Overbreeding of Animals
Lack of Spay/Neuter
Irresponsible Pet Ownership
So, what are we doing about it?
Rescuing animals is expensive, and finding adopters can be extremely time-consuming. At YARI, we are working to ease the burden of rescuing by providing financial support and adoption opportunities to animal rescues. Additionally, we are educating our members about animal-related issues, such as spay and neuter, responsible pet ownership, and the importance of adopting, not shopping. Our goal is help save more animals by making the job of rescues easier.
What Our Members Say
“Volunteering with YARI is always a great, fun experience. Seeing the animals you care about get adopted is so accomplishing and heart warming.”
