Meet 'Conga', Billings' featured Wet Nose Wednesday Pet.

It's halfway through the week, so it's time for us to share another awesome, adoptable pet from Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter. Conga is her name, and this sweetheart will certainly dance her way into your heart.

Conga is a 10-month-old Hound mix.

The shelter is calling Conga a Hound dog mix. We're guessing she has a little bit of everything in her DNA, perhaps a dash of a beagle, a sprinkle of Lab, or maybe some German Shepherd somewhere in her lineage. Who knows for sure? For that matter, does it really matter?

She's a medium-sized dog and she loves kids, said Lindsay Dillon, Volunteer Coordinator at Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter. Conga arrived at the shelter as a stray, although it appears she was well-cared for at her original home. She knows how to sit for treats and is quite calm for her young-ish age.

She's ready for walks, cuddles, and playtime.

Dillon told us that Conga does great on a leash and enjoyed her car ride to our studios. This bright, young dog loves to cuddle and play and would make a great companion in a household without other dogs.

Conga reportedly may not play well with other dogs, which led to her being returned to the shelter (twice). We can't blame this sweety for wanting to be the sole attention-getter in a household.
