Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter

The mission of the Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter is to provide shelter for animals in transition, serve as advocates for animals and their people, and be a leader in enhancing the human-animal bond. Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter (YVAS) is committed to the humane treatment of animals. We are considered an “open door” shelter. This means that we will turn no animal away that is from the city of Billings regardless of health, temperament or age. Because we understand that all animals come to us under the care and compassion of someone, we also are committed to the people involved in the care and welfare of these animals.

The Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter reunites lost pets with their owners, facilitates the fostering and adoption of shelter animals, conducts spay and neuter clinics, and utilizes volunteers to further our mission.
