Everyone at Yavapai Humane Society wishes you and your furry family members a safe, happy, and spooktacular Halloween! 🎃🧡🐾

Working in a shelter is so much more than playing with puppies and kittens. It’s showing up every day, even when you’re emotionally drained. It’s celebrating the wins, finding joy in the little things, and continuing to love these animals with your whole heart, even when society paints you as heartless.

Compassion fatigue is real. You can love what you do and still feel the weight of it all.

To our entire staff and volunteers: regardless of the twisted words and assumptions being spread, you know the truth of what happens behind the scenes. You feel every criticism, every heartbreak, and every victory. You know the hours, the tears, the hard decisions, and the countless little moments no one else sees. And despite it all, you keep showing up. You keep caring. You keep fighting for the animals who need you.

We see you, we appreciate you, and we hope you remember to give yourselves the same compassion you give these animals every day. You matter, too.

As some members of the community may have heard, on October 21, 2026, seven Chihuahuas were brought to Yavapai Humane Society by Yavapai County Animal Control following a flash flood incident. The dogs had been inside a vehicle that was swept away during the flooding. During the subsequent rescue efforts, one responder sustained a dog bite.

Because the specific dog involved in the bite could not be definitively identified and none of the dogs had current rabies vaccinations on record, Yavapai County Animal Control placed all seven dogs under a standard 10-day rabies bite quarantine in accordance with public health and animal welfare protocols.

Throughout the quarantine period, the dogs have been receiving daily care, housing, and monitoring from Yavapai Humane Society staff. The quarantine is scheduled to conclude on October 31, 2026, at which time the dogs will be reunited with their owners. No boarding or care fees will be charged to the owners for services provided during the quarantine period.

Yavapai Humane Society is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to serving the animals and people of Yavapai County. In partnership with Yavapai County Animal Control and the community, the organization provides shelter, care, and support for stray, unwanted, and vulnerable animals while working to promote their health, welfare, and safety.

We are grateful to the emergency responders, animal control personnel, and shelter staff who worked together to ensure the safety and well-being of both the animals and the individuals involved in this incident.

They may no longer be by our side, but they will always have a special place in our hearts.

As part of Día de los Mu***os, or Day of the Dead, families honor and celebrate the lives of loved ones who have passed by creating an ofrenda, a beautiful display filled with photographs, flowers, candles and special keepsakes that bring back wonderful memories.

This year, Yavapai Humane Society invites you to join us on TUESDAY, October 27th, for our first Ofrenda Celebration, as we honor the furry family members who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge but will never be forgotten.

We invite you to stop by anytime between noon and 4:00pm, share a memory, bring a photo of your beloved pet or simply take a moment to remember and celebrate the love they brought into your life. Because the love we share with our pets doesn't end when we say goodbye. It stays with us forever.

We hope you'll join us in making this a beautiful tradition of love, remembrance and celebration.
