Taking Care of our Four-Legged Friends
Animal Shelter Improvements
Making improvements to the Animal Care and Control facility located at 300 E. Galleria Dr. is a priority for the City of Henderson. Animal Care and Control has developed a plan to address both immediate and long term needs for the Animal Shelter.
About the Henderson Animal Shelter
The Henderson Animal Care and Control Shelter is a no-kill shelter, dedicated to the health and safety of each animal in its care. A full-time veterinarian works on site to provide medical care and assistance. The Shelter takes in dogs, cats, as well as many other types of animals.
