PROGRAMS
Low Cost Spay / Neuter
The UAF Hotline provides low cost Spay/Neuter Certificates to folks who cannot afford the cost of altering their Companion Animals.
Trap/Neuter / Release Program (TNR)
UAF has the only TNR program in the area. We work to control the population of over 3000 feral, or unsocialized, cats residing in Yavapai County. When possible UAF's wonderful Volunteers socialize young kittens who are then adopted out.
Foster / Adopt Field Services (FAFS)
UAF takes dogs and cats from Prescott and Chino Valley Animal Control and elsewhere. FAFS puts them into Foster Homes and has them altered. FAFS works with any behavioral and/or medical concerns so that the animal can be provided a second chance in a loving home.
Courtesy Listings
UAF is also committed to "Private Party Rescue" and we assist private parties in locating new homes for their Companion Animals. If people have Companion Animals whom they will not or cannot keep, UAF sponsors them on our web site as "Courtesy Listings", so that they too can be promoted for Adoption.
Financial Support
When there is a true need and funds allow, UAF helps those who can not afford veterinary care. We work with some local veterinarians who contact us when a low-income family is in need of financial support for spay/neuter or medical emergencies.
No More Homeless Pets, Yavapai County, 2010 (NMHP)
This program is one of our long-term goals. Our target for this goal is 2010, when we hope that every dog and cat born in Yavapai County will have a loving home waiting for them. We are working toward a coalition of the local veterinary clinics, animal rescue groups and city/county entities. We reach out to other animal rescue groups as we recognize the strength in numbers and bringing multiple talents together to address animal rescue efforts.
Animal Disaster Services (ADS)
This UAF Sister Group, creates shelters for animals in the event of disasters requiring evacuations. ADS is affiliated with Yavapai County Emergency Management Services. During the evacuations of the Indian Fire in 2002, and many fires in 2006, ADS set up camp next to the Red Cross. ADS cared for many Companion Animals and the animals from an evacuated veterinary clinic. The animals were released to their owners once the fires were under control, and their people were allowed to go back to their homes.

A Final Note
Our goals are ambitious and challenging but the hope to see an end to needless animal suffering and abandonment makes it worth the hard work. All Donations and Volunteer participation are welcome to see this to a successful completion.
