Compassion in Action: Emergency Medical Program

United Animal Friends is passionate about fulfilling our mission to provide rescue programs and services to animals and those who care for them, and our goal of relieving animals’ suffering by facilitating the compassionate care and treatment of animals. When a cherished pet is sick or injured, it affects both the pet and the pet parent. For low-income individuals, having a pet suffer and not being able to afford critical veterinary care can lead to the heartbreaking decision to surrender the pet to a shelter. The Emergency Medical Program helps pay for emergency veterinary care for companion animals in low-income households, allowing the pets to remain with their families.

This program is funded in part by grants from the Arizona Community Foundation of Yavapai County and individual donations.

United Animal Friends helps pay for emergency veterinary care for dogs or cats with life-threatening conditions when their owner cannot afford the cost. This aligns with our mission to provide rescue programs and services to animals and those who care for them, and our goal of relieving animals’ suffering by facilitating the compassionate care and treatment of animals.
Financial assistance is provided to qualifying low-income households in
Yavapai County.
The pet must be spayed or neutered to be eligible for the program. This requirement aligns with our goal of reducing overpopulation through spay and neuter.
This program allows pets to stay with their families instead of being relinquished or euthanized when emergency veterinary care is unaffordable.

To apply for assistance please complete the application below or call 928-778-2924 and leave a message on Line 2 with your contact information. A UAF volunteer will contact you as quickly as possible. Our volunteers take approximately 100 requests per month.

We assist only with dog or cat EMERGENCIES for low-income households. You must be a resident of Yavapai County.

If approved, we assist in stabilizing your pet. You must pay for the office call fee. Funds approved vary depending on the pet’s issue. If your pet is not spayed or neutered, there is a risk for denial. We do not pay for vaccines or long-term care or medications.
