United Animal Friends

United Animal Friends (UAF) is a volunteer-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit group founded in 2003. Our mission is to provide rescue programs and services to animals and those who care for them. In addition to rescuing, spaying and neutering, fostering, and finding homes for dogs and cats, UAF provides many services for residents of Yavapai County and their pets. Our Spay/Neuter Certificate Program, Community Pet Food Bank and Emergency Medical Program help hundreds of people and pets each year. UAF is a proud partner of the PACC911 Phoenix Animal Care Coalition. OUR GOAL Our goal is to continue to grow in size and in the positive impact we can make in the lives of animals. Our primary goals are: • Saving the lives of adoptable dogs and cats • Finding the best home for each animal in our care • Reducing pet overpopulation through our spay/neuter programs • Feeding hungry animals through our Community Pet Food Bank • Relieving suffering and facilitating the compassionate treatment of animals OUR VISION Our vision is to see that all companion animals are treated with dignity, compassion, and integrity, and no longer abandoned or destroyed. We will strive to be a leading force in animal advocacy by finding good homes for pets, keeping pets in good homes, and significantly reducing the number of animals who die in shelters. We will accomplish this by making adoption matches that last, educating the public, assisting pets in need, and providing spay/neuter programs to decrease pet overpopulation.
