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.

We asked Annie (A-34781) if she was okay 🎶, and she said no 😢... she wants a new home! 🧡🐾

This rare orange girl is ready to find her fur-ever family with her bestie Sushi (A-34782). Meeting Annie, she's a social, chatty, and curious kitty. She’s incredibly friendly and affectionate, often practically begging for attention and pets, and even enjoys being a social eater—especially when she gets some butt scratches while enjoying her meals. Annie loves to play and wander, and is her best self when Sushi is nearby. 👯‍♀️

If you're looking for a pair of fabulous furry friends, come ask Annie if she'd be okay going home with you. We're sure she (and Sushi) would say yes! 🙌

💡Tuesday Tip of the Week: Living Safely with Urban Wildlife 🦊🏠

Henderson is home to beautiful desert landscapes and the wildlife that comes with them, including coyotes. Sightings can occur in residential areas, especially near trails, washes, golf courses, and open land.

You can help prevent conflicts by taking a few simple steps:

✅ Keep pets leashed and supervised
✅ Bring pet food and water indoors
✅ Secure garbage cans
✅ Keep small pets indoors at night
✅ Never feed wildlife
✅ If a coyote gets too close, be loud, wave your arms, and make yourself appear larger

Coyotes are typically looking for food, water, or shelter. Removing those attractants is one of the most effective ways to reduce encounters.

👑💛 Betty is still waiting 💛👑

At 10 years old, this sweet Golden Girl should be spending her days lounging in a sunny window, enjoying catnip, and being spoiled by a family of her own.

Instead, Betty has become our longest cat resident.

She's affectionate, independent, and perfectly content being the queen of her castle. In fact, she'd probably prefer not to share her throne with other cats.

Betty is currently waiting to meet adopters at PetSmart (286 W. Lake Mead Parkway), and we'd love nothing more than to see her finally find the retirement home she deserves.

Let's help Betty's happily-ever-after begin. 🐾💛

📢 PSA: Don't Judge an Animal by Their Kennel Behavior! Imagine living in a small room, surrounded by unfamiliar sights, sounds, smells, and strangers passing by all day. You might not be at your best either.

🐶 Barking in a kennel doesn't mean "bad dog."

🐱 Hissing in a kennel doesn't mean "unfriendly cat."

Shelters is a stressful, overwhelming place, and many animals struggle to show their true personalities while living in them.

Sometimes the dog barking at the kennel door is a cuddle bug once outside. Sometimes the cat hiding in the back is waiting for a chance to feel safe. What you see through kennel bars is only part of the story.

The animal you're overlooking today might be the one you'd fall in love with tomorrow ❤️ cityofhenderson.com/adopt

Better Together 🐰🐹 Some friendships are too good to break up.

Rabbits and guinea pigs are social animals who thrive with companionship. Whether they're sharing a snack, cuddling up for a nap, or simply enjoying each other's company, life is often brighter with a friend by their side.

That's why bonded pairs are adopted together. They've already found their best friend. Now they're looking for a home to share.
