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.

  • United Animal Friends helps pay for 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 see if you qualify for assistance or for more information:

  • Call the UAF Information Phone Line at 928-778-2924. Leave a message on Line 2 with your contact information.
  • UAF has an incredible volunteer team that takes roughly 100 emergency calls per month. Calls are generally taken from 9 am to 5 pm, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
  • A UAF Volunteer will return your call quickly and provide more information to initiate the process.

This program is funded in part by grants from the Jack Ingebritson Foundation, Arizona Community Foundation of Yavapai County, Prescott Noon Lions Club and individual donations.
