Financially Foster

Financial contributions to Yucaipa Valley Animal Placement Society directly support the essential care and services we provide to animals in need. Donations help cover critical medical treatments, daily food and supplies, spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, and enrichment for our dogs and cats. They also support general operating costs such as facility maintenance, utilities, and staffing—ensuring we can continue offering a safe, nurturing environment until each animal finds a loving home. Every dollar makes a life-saving difference.
