About

The Clark County Animal Shelter is an open intake animal control and animal sheltering facility that is supported by Clark County, Donations and Volunteers. We accept all stray and unwanted animals in Clark County. We also perform animal related neglect and abuse investigations for Clark County. We are striving to lower the number of unwanted and abandoned animals in our community. We are also striving to eliminate the unnecessary euthanasia of dogs and cats in our area. We require all animals adopted from the Clark County Animal Shelter to be Spayed or Neutered before going to their new home and we also provide low cost spay and neuter services for our community as funding allows. The Clark County Animal Shelter is county operated and we are not a rescue facility. We strive to adopt all of our animals and work very close with rescue groups and other organizations to ensure our animals are placed in the best homes possible. We are proud that through these efforts we are able to place most of the animals that come into our care and euthanasia is reserved for extreme circumstances.

Adoption process

Adopting an animal from our shelter is a unique experience. We are a small shelter in a growing community which allows us to make each adoption personal. Our staff will be able to give you information about the animal you are interested in adopting and may also be able to recommend animals that would fit into your lifestyle. Matching each animal to the appropriate home allows for a much smoother transition for both the animal and the adopter. We do require an application that must be approved prior to finalizing any adoption. Every animal is seen by a licensed veterinarian and fully vetted* before going to their new home. The adoption fee for dogs is $95.00. The adoption fee for cats is $50.00.
