Clark County Backs Unified Animal Foundation Deal as City Votes Loom

The one-year agreement with renewal options sets shared funding terms under continued public scrutiny.

Overview

  • Clark County commissioners approved the contract on a 5-0 consent vote, with Las Vegas and North Las Vegas scheduled to consider it on Wednesday.
  • The pact standardizes one contract across the county and both cities after years of separate deals, with annual renewals returning for approval.
  • Cost sharing under the unified agreement allocates 43% to Clark County, 39% to Las Vegas and 17% to North Las Vegas, while Henderson operates its own shelter.
  • Municipal agendas outline $11.44 million in first-year funding, including $4.5 million from the county through June 2026, with an option for 5% increases on renewals.
  • A separate Las Vegas agenda item proposes a $689,500 grant to transfer animals from the Lied shelter to The Animal Foundation’s adoption center.
