YELLOWSTONE VALLEY ANIMAL SHELTER (YVAS) IS THE LARGEST-VOLUME SHELTER IN MONTANA, INTAKING OVER 5,000 ANIMALS ANNUALLY. YVAS MAINTAINS CONTRACTS WITH THE CITY OF BILLINGS, YELLOWSTONE COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, AND LAUREL POLICE DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE CARE FOR LOST & TRANSITIONING ANIMALS IN THE COMMUNITY. YVAS'S MAIN GOALS ARE TO QUICKLY REUNITE LOST PETS WITH THEIR FAMILIES WHILE FINDING NEW, LOVING HOMES FOR ANY UNCLAIMED OR SURRENDERED PETS. ALL OF THE SHELTER'S ANIMALS ARE FULLY VETTED PRIOR TO ADOPTION, RECEIVING THEIR AGE-APPROPRIATE VACCINATIONS, MICROCHIPS, AND ARE SPAYED/NEUTERED. ANIMALS WHO ARE UNDERAGE, SICK, OR INJURED ENTER YVAS'S FOSTER PROGRAM WHERE THEY CAN RECUPERATE BEFORE BEING MEDICALLY CLEARED FOR ADOPTION. NOT ONLY DOES YVAS HELP TO FACILITATE ADOPTIONS OF HOMELESS ANIMALS AND REUNITE LOST PETS WITH THEIR OWNERS, BUT THEY'VE ALSO EXPANDED MANY OF THEIR PUBLIC SERVICES. FROM OBEDIENCE CLASSES TO LOW-COST VETERINARY SERVICES FOR OWNED ANIMALS, A FREE PET FOOD & SUPPLY PANTRY, TO SUMMER CAMPS FOR CHILDREN - IT IS YVAS'S VISION TO BUILD A COMMUNITY WHERE EVERY ANIMAL IS CARED FOR. IN 2023 YVAS PLACED MORE THAN 95 PERCENT OF THE ANIMALS ENTRUSTED TO THEIR CARE, FACILITATED 2,445 ADOPTIONS, AND SERVED THOUSANDS OF YELLOWSTONE COUNTY FAMILIES THROUGH FREE AND AFFORDABLE PROGRAMS FOR PEOPLE AND PETS.
