Brownie Troop 2115 of Yucaipa chose the animals of Yucaipa Animal Placement Society to be the beneficiary of their recent troop community action project efforts. These little Brownies have been up to big things this holiday season; the troop worked together to gather over 400 pounds of much-needed food and supplies for the YAPS Center. As a reward for their efforts, the troop got to spend time with the dogs and cats that they helped at the YAPS center, including a dog appropriately named, Brownie.  The members of troop 2115 are pictured below with all of the donations they collected.

As we start a new year, we look back on 2014 with joy. So many wonderful accomplishments including the addition of our large new office, parking lot and training field as well as finding loving homes for 545 pets. We are so grateful from the support of the community to make these dreams come true. 

We are excited for the coming year with additional programs and opportunities for YAPS to give back to the community. Our goal is to place over 600 pets into their forever homes this year. So we are reaching out to the community for donations. Monetary donations are extremely generous and help with veterinary care as well as additions to the center. However supplies are a huge necessity for our daily operations. Here is a list of items that we need:
