About this organization

Henderson Animal Center’s mission is to provide temporary shelter and excellent care for stray, unwanted, and homeless animals for the city, promote responsible pet ownership, protect our citizens by housing public nuisance animals brought by local law enforcement, and prevent unnecessary euthanasia by diligently striving to locate homes for every animal possible within our care. All activities shall be in compliance with state, federal, and local laws and regulations, and duties shall be performed by a humane and professional staff. The purpose of our Animal Protection is to enforce city ordinances directly related to animals, respond to animal concerns within the city, handle strays and wildlife as needed, and educate the public on proper animal care and ownership.
