Volunteers rally to help Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter move into new home
BILLINGS - Dozens of volunteers gathered Saturday morning to help the Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter move into a new building, marking a fresh start for the organization after months of operating out of a temporary space.
An estimated 70 people showed up throughout the morning with trailers, trucks, and manpower to move supplies, food, kennels, and animals from the shelter’s temporary location at Lionheart Cannabis to a rented building at 5056 Jellison Road in south Billings.
The shelter had put out a call on social media for volunteer help, but did not expect such a large turnout. Everything was cleared from the temporary location in under an hour.
