Best Pet Adoption Service Henderson Near Me

4worldlovers: The Henderson Animal Care and Control Bureau consists of Animal Control Officers, Shelter staff, and a Veterinary team. The bureau 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 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 dog regulations. Animal Control 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. For further information contact us at 702-267-4970.

4worldlovers:
Welcome to K9BFF! Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in rescue and adoption. Through no fault of their own, many dogs find themselves in shelters or with guardians who can no longer care for them. We believe each dog is special and deserves to be cherished and protected. We are dedicated to helping find these loyal companions a loving and permanent home, and a second chance at life.


We hope you will find your new canine best friend here. If we don't have the dog you're looking for, there are other rescue groups with whom we work and recommend (Helpful Info). Please NEVER purchase a pet from the internet or a pet store, as these dogs are born and bred in puppy mills where they live in horrible and unsanitary conditions, and often pass on genetic problems from generation to generation (Why Rescue?).

We also hope you'll find some useful information and answers to many of your questions. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance (Contact Us).

To adopt one of our dogs, the first step is to submit an Adoption Application (Adopt).

Our adoption fee is $300 for most dogs, which covers vet check (and treatment if necessary), age-appropriate vaccinations*, spay/neuter*, heartworm check, microchip, and grooming; all of our dogs are de-wormed, de-flea'd, and come with a collar, leash, and ID tag. (*not applicable to every dog or if contrary to vet recommendations)

If at any time (even if years have passed), you can no longer care for and keep any animal you've adopted from K9BFF, please contact us and we will take the animal back.

When you adopt a rescue dog, you help to save two lives: the one you bring home and the one who takes its place.

Shelters are government funded. This means that all expenses like vaccines, worming, flea prevention, and spay/neuter are paid for at a low cost by the government. When an animal at a shelter becomes ill, the only outcome is euthanasia. This is to prevent the spread of disease in the shelter. It's less costly to "get rid" of the animal than it is to treat it. The government simply does not allow the funding to treat all of the animals in need.
