YAPS Animal Refuge rescue abandoned and unwanted dogs and cats in Cairns area, Far North Queensland. Our refuge animals stay with us and are lovingly cared for until their ‘forever families’ come along to adopt them. Some end up living out their days with us as permanent guests.
YAPS also provide a dog and cattery boarding service – the biggest and best in the region!
All our facilities run so successfully because of the huge hearts and hard work of our dedicated staff, volunteers, supporters and members.

A Huge Thank You to the Resinc Team for the donation of Solar Panels at our Smithfield Dog Facility. These solar panels are creating a massive saving on our electricity, savings that can be used for the care of our shelter dogs while waiting for their furever homes
