Photography

YARI’s incredible photographer, Chris Andres, helps us document events and share adoptable animals with the world! His work gives fosters who might not have the resources to take professional photos for adoption websites the opportunity to have their fosters photographed during events, in hopes of helping them get adopted more easily.

Graphic Design

Our graphic designer, Jianling Horton, creates beautiful graphics for the initiative, as well as for our partnered rescues. Whether it’s a flyer, logo, or digital drawing, her designs help spread the word about animals in need of homes.

Fundraising

YARI primarily supports local rescues through fundraising, which allows us to help our partners save as many animals as possible! Most of our events feature unique, handmade items and merch for sale to support this goal. You will often find our team members standing with a donations box, selling jewelry or homemade dog treats, or doing face paint for kids.

Events

Our in-person adoption and fundraising events allow us to connect with and make a difference in our community. We are most frequently found alongside our events partner, Saturday Dog Club, or at various farmers markets in West LA.
