Good morning, Billings.

Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter said it could not house stray or lost pets due to a recent drug incineration mishap that rendered its facility uninhabitable—forcing staff to relocate animals to foster care—and Animal Control is now only responding to calls for vicious animals.

A Billings-based nonprofit held a run on Saturday morning at Josephine Crossing (5k and 10k distances) to raise funds for sex trafficking survivors.
