The Animal Foundation: The Highest-Volume Single-Site Animal Shelter in the United States
The Animal Foundation was founded in 1978 as a low-cost spay-and-neuter clinic and has grown into the highest-volume single-site animal shelter in the United States, headquartered at its Mojave Road campus in central Las Vegas. The private nonprofit handles intake, adoption, low-cost veterinary services, and lost-and-found for the Las Vegas Valley, and partners with regional municipalities on the bulk of valley shelter operations. The Animal Foundation is one of the most actively volunteered nonprofits in Southern Nevada.
The Animal Foundation operates a 7-acre campus at 655 North Mojave Road that handles tens of thousands of animal intakes each year, alongside on-site adoption, microchipping, vaccination clinics, and partnerships with Clark County Animal Control. Its 559-plus Yelp reviews reflect the scale of public interaction the operation generates.
