Good morning, Billings.

Yellowstone County Sheriff's Office Captain Kent O’Donnell said 16 of 42 dogs seized in Shepherd are still waiting for homes.

Billings resident Judy Ortt, 80, found new hope when she underwent a minimally invasive heart procedure at St. Vincent Regional Hospital as her treatment options ran out + her renewed strength points to a brighter future.

Pickleball pros Susannah Barr and Nick Petterson will open The Flying Pickle at the old Costco building in Billings in summer or fall 2026 after delays moved the original first-quarter timeline.
