Early in 1972, a small group of citizens met to form a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. In March of 1972, the organization was incorporated under the laws of the State of Arizona as a non-profit organization and named the Yavapai Humane Society (YHS). A decision was made in January 1973 to raise $50,000 for the construction of a shelter. This goal was reached in August 1976. With matching funds from the duBois Foundation in Phoenix, a shelter was constructed at its present site on Sundog Ranch Road on land deeded to YHS by the City of Prescott (land to revert to the City if YHS ceases to operate a shelter on the property). The shelter was opened in August 1977.

The facility has the capability of housing 34 dogs and 60 cats. We manage to shelter 5,000 animals a year. We are often filled to capacity but with the help of our foster families, we are able to house additional animals. Additionally, the Yavapai Humane Society completed a major renovation to the facility in 2005. These improvements have provided the animals with a healthier environment.
