🏡🐾 We Have a Future Home! 🐾🏡
After everything our shelter and community have been through, we are beyond excited to share some incredible news: the Waggoner family has generously donated five acres of land to become the future home of YVAS! 💚
Located on Garden Avenue near the Yellowstone River, this land will give us the space to build a permanent, 26,000-square-foot facility designed to better serve animals and our community for generations to come. 🌿🐶🐱
Our future shelter will include improved animal housing, medical and quarantine spaces, larger play yards, natural lighting, better ventilation, dedicated laundry facilities, adoption and community spaces, training classes, Critter Camps, and so much more.
This donation is a major milestone in our capital campaign and brings us one step closer to building the shelter our community and animals deserve. We are currently working toward our $12 million fundraising goal before breaking ground, with hopes of opening our new facility in fall 2028. 🏗️✨
To the Waggoner family: thank you will never be enough. Your generosity has given YVAS a permanent place to build our future—and has given us even more hope for the animals and people we serve.
We can't wait to take you with us as we build something truly special. 💚🐾
