A way to move directly between homes
Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter’s Shelter Skip programme lets families advertise an animal for direct placement in another home. The animal remains outside the shelter during this process. Families submit a biography and one to three clear photographs, giving prospective adopters information that can help them decide whether to start a conversation about a suitable match.
Understanding who supplies the information
Shelter Skip listings use information supplied by the rehoming family. YVAS has not physically, medically or behaviourally assessed those animals, and the listings are separate from animals in its own care. The programme provides suggested questions and a sample rehoming agreement. If direct placement does not work, families can contact the shelter about an intake appointment.
Helping a lost animal be identified
YVAS makes engraved identification tags and offers walk-in microchipping with registration included. It can also scan an animal already chipped elsewhere and help the owner identify the relevant registration company. Its guidance stresses keeping contact details current, connecting the identifier on or inside the animal with information that can actually reach the family.
Taking animal activities to the library
At Billings Public Library, Cat Tales brings shelter cats, foster cats or former YVAS animals into reading activities. Tagging Buddies offers free identification tags as part of Project Reunite. These programmes connect the shelter with a familiar community venue, giving families ways to participate in animal-related learning or access practical identification help outside the main facility.
Learning through more than animal encounters
Day camps explore welfare, sheltering, behaviour and ways to help local animals. The shelter explains that suitable animals may not be available for interaction every day, so activities use several teaching methods. Families provide meals and snacks and check clothing, allergy and participation information before booking through the current programme calendar. Official programme information · AnimalProtech map.
