Billings Shelter Offers Reduced Adoption Fees For Gunnar The Hound

Elvis crooned so eloquently, "You ain't nothin' but a hound dog," but unlike the lyrics in the song, this hound definitely wants to be a friend of yours. Meet Gunnar, the 18-month-old hound dog mix, ready for adoption now at Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter in Billings.

He's a handsome boy.

I'm a sucker for brindle-coat dogs. In fact, we adopted a brindle puppy two years ago from the shelter, a fun little "Frenchyhuahuah" named Winston. Gunnar is an attractive, slender, medium-sized pup. I'd guess he weighs around 50 pounds, give or take.

Gunnar has been at the shelter for far too long.

He arrived as a stray without a microchip or ID tags on May 22nd, pushing him into the long-hauler category at YVAS. Most dogs are adopted in a week or less, so this guy is more than ready to meet his new loving human(s).

You can adopt Gunnar for just $10.

Now through June 14th, you can adopt ANY adult pet at Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter for $10, a huge savings. Plus, you can adopt a dog for free during a special adoption event on Friday, June 12, from 1 to 4 PM at the KOA at 547 Garden Avenue.

More of a cat person?

Join Townsquare Media at Shipton's Big R West for a cat adoption event this Saturday, June 13, from 11 AM to 2 PM. The shelter will be bringing nearly a dozen cats and kittens to Shipton's, and we'll have various specials on pet products during the event.
