Resources

To assist you with your adoption and pet care needs we have provided a list of various resources.  We always do our best to help you with your adoption and pet care questions, but unfortunately there is often more need than we have volunteers to help, so if you have not been able to get adequate assistance from us in placing a pet in your care, please feel free to contact another rescue in our area.  We cannot guarantee this list is always up to date, so if you see a needed change or addition, please contact us.

We cannot assist with wild animal issues. There is more information below regarding assistance with wildlife situations.

Also, if you have any cat or dog specific questions, please send them to cats@yvpr.org or dogs@yvpr.org.
