We Absolutely Love Lucy the Pitbull Mix, and Billings Will Too

It's once again time for Wet Nose Wednesday, and this time the Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter (YVAS) brought Lucy up to our studios to say hello. This mild-mannered pitbull shar-pei mix was really happy to see everyone around our offices. Lucy's full profile on the YVAS website can be found here but here are the basics; she's 7 years old, spayed, and up to date on all of her vaccines. She was surrendered to the shelter after her previous owners couldn't stay on top of her skin allergies.

Adopting a dog with the YVAS is easy and fast, with you able to leave with your new family member the same day. Any family would love to have Lucy in their home, and just in time for the holidays too. Why not make your home her permanent home? I bet she'll absolutely love it.
