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”.
The Emergency Medical Program helps those who need emergency medical assistance for their companion animal but cannot afford the cost.


- Assistance is provided for your dog or cat with life-threatening conditions by working with many local veterinarians in Yavapai County.
- Financial assistance is provided to qualifying low-income households in
Yavapai County. - This program allows pets to stay with their families instead of being relinquished or euthanized when emergency veterinary care is unaffordable.
- Pets must be spayed or neutered to qualify for this program. This requirement aligns with UAF’s goals of reducing overpopulation through sterilization.
- The Emergency Medical program aligns with the UAF goal of relieving animals’ suffering by facilitating the compassionate care and treatment of animals.
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.
