The 30-second brief
The City of Billings previously contracted with Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter to provide animal shelter services under a contract valued at approximately $462,000 annually, including cash and in‑kind support, which expired July 1. Following a February 2026 RFP that drew only a single bid from YVAS proposing $550,000 per year, City officials and the shelter are now discussing the proposed fee increase and related service expectations. Historical invoices show YVAS frequently waived medical intake costs for animals brought in by the City, effectively subsidizing a portion of the service.
