Reporting Cruelty

If you witness animal abuse or neglect, please contact The Humane Society of Yuma at 928-782-1621 ext 106.

The Humane Society of Yuma has the authority to enforce state and local laws related to animals and the capability to investigate and resolve these situations. We rely on concerned citizens to be our eyes and ears in the community and to report animal suffering.

You can choose to remain anonymous, although giving your name to the humane society will enable us to follow up with you when necessary.   Our humane officers are on call 24 hours for animals that are suffering.   If you call after hours please be sure to leave a detailed message with the answering service.   An animal control officer will contact you shortly thereafter.  

Our dedicated agency has the important job of ensuring that animals in our jurisdiction receive proper food, water, and shelter, and are protected from abandonment and cruel treatment.  The prevention of cruelty to animals represents the core mission of our Humane Society. Investigation requests can come from members of the community or law enforcement agencies.  

If an animal is in imminent danger call local law enforcement (i.e. YPD, YCSO).
