Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter (YVAS) is the largest-volume shelter in Montana, intaking an average of 5,000 animals every year. YVAS is dedicated to strengthening the human-animal bond by providing compassionate and high-quality care, education, and resources to the community. We maintain high standards by creating a safe and healthy environment for any animal that needs the shelter's services. We ensure the shelter is clean, animals are provided exceptional medical care, and that our animals receive enrichment and socialization in addition to the basic necessities. As a 501(c)(3) organization, we rely heavily on the generosity of individuals, foundations, and corporations to provide quality programs and services to the community. Your donations directly support programs and services to help animals in need in Billings and the surrounding areas.
