Are you looking for a vetted adult dog? Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter has some dogs available for adoption in Billings, MT. Please read their post and follow their directions for a vetted adult family member.🥰

Adult dogs find themselves in shelters for various reasons—lost homes, changing circumstances, or simply being overlooked in favor of puppies. These amazing animals often face challenges in the shelter environment, where stress and uncertainty can take a toll on their well-being.

That's where foster homes come in as literal lifesavers. Fostering an adult shelter dog isn't just about providing temporary housing; it's about offering love, stability, and a chance to thrive outside the shelter walls. It allows them to decompress and show their true nature making it easier for adopters to see their true personalities and how they would fit in at their own home.

Through our Struggling in Shelter program, all of the dogs pictured are either currently available in foster (gold star) or have been adopted through their foster homes. Last year, we had 45 dogs placed from foster homes which opened up space in the shelter and helped keep those dogs mentally stable in a calm environment.

If you're considering adding a furry friend to your family or simply want to make a difference in a dog's life, consider fostering an adult shelter dog. You'll be amazed at the impact your love and care can have.

Visit https://yvas.org/get-involved/foster/ to sign up for our Struggling in Shelter Program or https://yvas.org/adopt/dogs/ to see the dogs we currently have available in foster homes.

Skunks…

Skunk Alert - They are out looking for their Valentine 💘
February through early March is skunk breeding season. Before you let your dogs out, make a little noise and give skunks time to move out of your yard.
If you come face to face with a skunk, stay calm and talk softly to let him know you’re there -- skunks have poor eyesight. Skunks are sweet natured animals and don’t want to spray you. Go about your business and avoid startling them.
Skunks will give you several warnings if they are scared:
1. They will stomp their front feet
2. They turn their backs to you
3. They will do a handstand
4. They will spray up to 10 feet away
If a skunk DOES spray, here is a technique and recipe:
First, catch the dog (or the person!) as quickly as possible - don’t let them roll or rub on anything. If you have rubber gloves wear them. BLOT the spray off with paper towels.
Mix a paste from 1 teaspoon Dawn dish soap, 3% hydrogen peroxide and ¼ cup baking soda and spread it on the area. Do not add water! Let it sit for ten minutes then rinse off and repeat.
If this happens to be on a human or hairless animal, leave out the baking soda. The baking soda is sort of like an exfoliant and is really abrasive to bare skin.
Skunks are omnivores (eat both plant and animal material). They prefer to eat insects, particularly grasshoppers, beetles, and crickets. They also eat grubs and other insect larvae as well as bees and wasps. When the opportunity arises, they will take mice, rats, moles, shrews, young ground squirrels and rabbits, nesting birds, nestlings, and bird or snake eggs. Skunks also eat corn, berries, and other vegetation. In an urban environment, they may eat garbage or pet food that has been left outside.
Habitat Modification:
Secure garbage cans and close dumpster lids at night.
Control rodent populations.
Do not leave pet food outdoors at night.
Remove brush or wood piles.
Control lawn grubs.
