The Animal Foundation is a non-profit organization operating Nevada’s largest animal shelter (Lied Animal Shelter) and animal adoption center. We envision a humane and compassionate community for all animals. Our mission is to save the lives of all healthy and treatable animals in the Las Vegas valley. 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 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 the more than 35,000 homeless, lost, neglected, unwanted and abused animals received each and every year.
