Animal Control
The Henderson Animal Control Bureau helps reunite lost pets with their owners, cares for the animals brought to the shelter, and handles pet adoptions. The bureau also provides medical care and the vaccination of all cats and dogs at the shelter and the spaying or neutering, as well as the placement of microchip identification, for the pets that find a home.
Animal Control officers take part in public safety, resolving animal and pet issues that are part of residents' quality of life. As part of the Henderson Police Department, the officers 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 or vicious dogs. Animal Control also performs welfare, cruelty and neglect investigations, animal bite processing, and rabies quarantines.
Contact the Animal Control Bureau for more information about services that provide a humane, healthy, and safe environment for animals at the facility.
Whether you find a pet roaming your neighborhood or have lost your family pet, the City of Henderson can assist with Lost and Found efforts.
