Volunteering to bring about positive changes in the lives of animals.
It probably comes as no surprise that Yelm Animal Alliance was started by a group of animal lovers in the local community that recognized a need -- to bring about positive change in the lives of animals in the greater Yelm area.
Our vision is to reunite every pet with their owner or find a new loving home for those pets who have been lost or abandoned. For anyone who has loved and lost a pet, they understand the passion we share and the importance of having an animal resource that serves the community. We believe our goals help make Yelm and the surrounding area a more attractive place to live. Our primary mission is to find loving homes for animals rescued by Yelm Animal Control that would otherwise be euthanized.
We are beginning our planning of our "Spring Walk-A-Thon to Save the Dogs" beginning in Yelm / Tenino path. If you are interested in working on this important event, please fill out the Contact Us page and someone will contact you.
A special Thanks goes to the Nisqually Valley News for graciously publishing our "Pets of the Week" - Pick up your copy.
GET INVOLVED - Join us the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of every month for our meetings at Liquid Soul Coffee Roasters in McKenna from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED - both 2 and 4 legged ones welcome.
