Hello! It’s that time of year again and we are so excited to give back and remind people that they matter. We have made some changes to the name and logo of our organization, but the meaning behind it and our mission remains the same. If you would like to donate, our Venmo is

Examples of where our donations go:

Several MT based animal rescue organizations (donated supplies and sponsored adoptions)
Birthday cakes for different people in the community
Coffees for people in the drive-thru line
Clothing for kids and families in need
Lunch debt in some of the local schools
Backpacks and school supplies for kids in need
Gift cards for people in the community

Margarita has found a home! Glad we were able to be a part of Margarita's journey.

🎉 We have to celebrate some major wins from this weekend: our longest-stay cat, Margarita, finally found her fur-ever home after 57 days at YVAS!! PLUS 12 other animals were adopted and six lost pets were reunited with their families! 🎉

However, a shelter’s work is never complete and we still need your help. With nearly 100 animals in the building, we are bursting at the seams with both adoptable and stray animals. If you are missing a pet or if you’re looking to adopt, please come visit YVAS!
