ABOUT THE ANIMAL FOUNDATION
The Animal Foundation is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization operating Nevada’s largest open-admission animal shelter (Lied Animal Shelter) and pet adoption center. Founded in 1978 as a small, low-cost spay and neuter clinic, The Animal Foundation quickly picked up speed and, soon after opening its doors, began offering adoption services.
Over the past 35 years, growth has been a constant. Today, The Animal Foundation operates and manages an 8-acre Las Vegas campus that houses a multitude of services and provides a refuge for more than 30,000 lost, unwanted, neglected and abandoned animals every year.
The Animal Foundation’s mission is to save the lives of all healthy and treatable animals in the Las Vegas valley.
