Jeanice Lee talks with Alliana Hull, Animal Care and Operations Manager and Interim Executive Director of Yucaipa Animal Placement Society (YAPS), serving Southern California, providing animal rescue, sheltering, and adoption support to pets and families in need. Hull discusses YAPS programs including pet adoptions, foster to adopt options, community vaccine clinics, pet supply pantries, and volunteer opportunities. Hull also shares the organization’s mission to prevent animal suffering by intervening early to keep pets in loving homes and expanding partnerships with local rescues. She highlights future goals focused on community space, outreach, and increased support for struggling pet owners. A compelling detail: YAPS receives nearly 200 surrender requests each month but can intake only a handful, making fostering and community support critical. (YAPS.org)
