City of Henderson Animal Protection Services

City of Henderson Animal Protection Services Animal Protection Services consists of Animal Protection Officers, Shelter staff, and a Veterinary team. For further information contact us at 702-267-4970.

The team helps reunite lost pets with their owners, cares for the animals brought to the shelter, and handles pet adoptions. The animals at the shelter receive medical care, vaccines, microchips and all adoptable dogs, cats, and rabbits are spayed or neutered. Animal Protection officers take part in public safety, resolving animal and pet issues that are part of residents' quality of life. The off

icers carry out the regulations outlined in the municipal code's Title 7, which include concerns about animal noise and animal sanitation, animals roaming at large, and Dangerous dog regulations. Animal Protection Services also performs welfare, cruelty and neglect investigations, animal bite processing, and rabies quarantines. An ordinance was passed by City Council on August 3, 2010 for the City of Henderson requiring that dogs and cats over the age of four months be spayed or neutered, except under specified circumstances. Animal Protection Services exists to serve the community, aid, comfort, and provide medical attention to the animals that come under the Shelter's care and to vigorously enforce the laws that protect animals and the community.

🌟 FEATURED PET 🌟 UNO 🃏♥️🐶

Male • Pit Bull Terrier/Husky Mix • 10 Years Old • 80 pounds

Uno is the definition of a gentle soul. This sweet senior may be a little shy, but underneath that timid exterior is an incredibly kind, loving dog who's just looking for someone to make him feel safe.

The busy shelter can be a lot for Uno, but once he's out on an adventure, he's a completely different dog. Whether he's enjoying a car ride, strolling through a store, or relaxing at a coffee shop with his person, Uno takes it all in stride. Volunteers describe him as calm, quiet, and wonderfully well-mannered. He walks beautifully on a leash, rides great in the car, takes treats gently, and happily accepts pets from new people once he knows everything is okay.

Uno enjoys peaceful walks, pup cups, and simply spending time with the people he loves. He also does well in dog playgroups with other calm dogs, but he'd be just as happy soaking up all the love as your one-and-only companion.

If you're looking for a loyal, low-key best friend who will reward your patience with endless trust and quiet companionship, Uno is ready to spend his golden years by your side. 🐶🤎

When you see Wallie, don't see his shyness and timidity. Don't look past him when he curls up in the corner of his kennel.

Instead, see his past living as a stray on the streets, with no one coming to claim him. See his need for companionship. See how he actually enjoys being pet, when he feels he can trust you. See how he wants so badly a family to love that he pushes through the nervousness.

Wallie needs a hero, will it be you? ❤️🐾

🌟 FEATURED PET 🌟 CHEVY ️🛻❤️🐶

Male • Akita • 3 Years Old • 92 pounds

Chevy needs a hero in his life today! Give him a loving home he can call his own. 🏠

Staff describe Chevy as an incredibly sweet, affectionate, and social boy. He has a calm, patient nature and enjoys spending time with people of all ages.

Chevy enjoys being brushed, with all of his fluffy fur, grooming time is something he truly enjoys—especially when it includes plenty of butt scratches! He'll happily stand by for extra attention and soak up every minute of it.

Chevy has also shown that he gets along well with other dogs, making him a wonderful candidate for a home with a canine companion. As always, we recommend a meet and greet to ensure everyone is a good fit.

With his friendly personality, easygoing temperament, and patient nature, Chevy would make an excellent addition to many different types of families. Whether you're looking for a walking buddy, a cuddle companion, or a fluffy best friend to brush and spoil, Chevy is ready to fill that role💛🐶

Come take home Chevy today, and you'll be in for the ride of your life! 🛻🐾❤️
