Our featured Wet Nose this week is a 2-year old male Heeler mix named Coupe. He's waiting to be adopted at the Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter.

Here's what the Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter has to say about this sweet boy:

 Coupe is a super bright star. He’s incredibly smart and very friendly, too! He gets along with most other dogs and would likely enjoy having a dog friend to play with.

All YVAS Volunteers must be at least 10 years old. Volunteers under the age of 16 must be accompanied during all volunteer activities by an adult who is also a trained YVAS volunteer. Volunteers under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian signature in order to participate in shelter activities.

Space is limited for the monthly Volunteer Orientation, with registration required for attendance.
