Animal Foundation is the local Las Vegas public animal shelter.  They also have a shot and spay/neuter clinic that offers low cost services to the public.  As far as shelters go it is pretty nice.  I think a lot of people are afraid to look for an animal at a shelter because they think it is sad or depressing.  It is really not.  They have the dogs in small bungalows so it is not overwhelming when you go in.  They have outdoor play areas where you can let the dog off the leash.  You can also bring your dogs to see how they get along before adopting.  They have cats and exotics in a separate bungalow.  In the \"exotics\" section they have so many different animals, ferrets, snakes, turtles, mice, chickens, hamsters, gerbils, even fish.  So if you are looking for a small pet they probably have it here.  Shop don't adopt!  \n\nAlso check out their new off site adoption center at the Petsmart in Henderson (286 W. Lake Mead Parkway). This center is a great choice for people who are nervous about coming into the actual shelter.  I hope they open more of these across the valley.
