Yakima Valley Pet Rescue and Valley Spay & Neuter are widely recognized in Yakima County as a trusted resource for supporting animal welfare, eliminating animal suffering, and reducing pet overpopulation. However, we are currently facing a crisis that we cannot solve alone.
The urgent pet overpopulation crisis in the Yakima Valley must be addressed, but there is no city or county funding available to help. For years, local pet rescues have been bearing the brunt of funding for spay and neuter surgeries and veterinary care for stray and abandoned animals. To meet this challenge, we have launched our 2026 Community Partner Challenge with a goal to raise $100,000.
Yakima Valley Pet Rescue and Valley Spay and Neuter collaborate to combat pet overpopulation by splitting Community Partner Sponsorships equally between rescue and clinic operations. Half of the funding supports essential rescue services, including the PAL spay/neuter financial assistance program, veterinary care for stray and abandoned animals, assisting low income owners with veterinary costs., and the Last Litter program, which provides surgeries and vaccinations to prevent future unplanned litters.
The other half directly funds full spay and neuter days for publicly owned pets whose owners could not otherwise afford these services. Additionally, these funds facilitate the sterilization of stray, unowned, and feral cats throughout the county, ensuring a comprehensive and proactive approach to population control.
$10,000 ensures over 80 animals in Yakima County are spay/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped
$5,000 provides funds to cover emergency medical expenses for multiple rescue animals.
$2,500 supports pet owners who can’t afford emergency medical care for their beloved pet.
$1,000 provides life saving vaccines for public and owned animals.
$500 provides food for 20 animals in foster care.
The burden shouldn't fall on rescues alone. Your tax-deductible sponsorship ensures that when an animal is hurting –whether they are a stray in an orchard or a family’s beloved pet—that Yakima Valley has a solution. It’s more than a donation; it’s a commitment to a healthier, more compassionate Yakima Valley. I’ll follow up next week to discuss how you can help us reach our $100,000 goal and what we can do to highlight your generosity to our thousands of local followers.
