Verde Valley Humane Society - Cottonwood Pet Shelter

Verde Valley Humane Society

The Verde Valley Humane Society was originally formed in 1982 by a group of individuals with a desire to help animals. However, it wasn’t until March 31, 1986 that groundbreaking for the original shelter took place, with the Grand Opening held the following August 2nd. In the 20 plus years that followed, the community grew tremendously, but the shelter did not. Then in late 2009 ground was broken for Phase 1 of the construction for the new facility. We moved into our current structure in March 2010 and had the official ribbon cutting ceremony April 16, 2010. We have grown into a vibrant animal shelter with a wonderful staff who are the heart of our operations. The dedication of our people is what allows the Verde Valley Humane Society to thrive and continue to be of service for the beautiful animals that find their way to us. VVHS also has an amazing amount of support & assistance from a passionate Board of Directors and a tireless army of volunteers. Each of us honored to better the lives of the cats & dogs who depend on us each day. Stop in any time during business hours to say hello to us and the animals! You just might find yourself with a new beloved pet or find the spark to become part of our family of volunteers!

Adoption Process

The process is simple. Our experienced staff and volunteers know our pets best, and they’ll help you find the perfect pet for your family and your lifestyle. Then you’ll sit down at the front desk with a staff member who’ll need some basic information and supply you with resources you may need. It’s simple and only takes a few minutes. Then you’ll pay the adoption fee, get your picture taken with your new family member, and you’ll be on your way. All pets leaving our shelter have: Been spayed or neutered; Received age-appropriate vaccinations; Received flea/tick treatment and de-worming. Microchips can be provided at the time of adoption for only $15. Dogs will be provided temporary leashes. Cats being adopted must leave in carriers, but we can provide temporary carriers for just $5.
