The Henderson Animal Shelter currently euthanizes animals at a very high rate.  Most animals are kept no longer than a week, despite more than adequate space for them to be housed. 

Animals taken in by the shelter are barely given a chance for adoption because their lives are ended so quickly after impoundment.

The petition seeks to find support for local animal lovers and activists to push the Henderson City Council, City Manager, and Mayor to make changes to the management practices of the local shelter.  We hope to persuade the shelter to adopt more humane and reasonable processes for handling these adoptable pets.
