Clark County Picks Builder for Spring Valley Animal Resource Center

Clark County commissioners have selected the company that will build the new Animal Resource Center, a supplemental shelter in Spring Valley, reports FOX5 Las Vegas.

Officials expect the facility to be open and running by late 2028.

The center will sit near Post Road and Jones Boulevard and is meant to give other local shelters room to breathe.

FOX5 did not name the builder, and the contract amount was not reported.

County plans call for a 37,000 square foot building with space for an estimated 172 to 192 animals, including dogs, cats, small mammals, and reptiles.

The county has said it will seek an outside provider to run the shelter once it opens.

That operator will have flexibility to add community programming, which may include a drive-up food pantry.

The design is still in progress, and the county has said the plans may change.

Commissioners approved the project’s land use entitlements on September 16, after the county released new design details on September 10.

County officials had named the Post Road and Jones Boulevard parcel as the leading site in July.

The center is separate from a larger supplemental shelter in design near Tropicana Avenue and the 215 Beltway.

That project is also expected to open in 2028.

Both projects aim to ease pressure on The Animal Foundation, Nevada’s largest shelter. It entered its red capacity zone in early August with 470 dogs on site.

In the meantime, fostering a dog frees up kennel space for the next animal waiting.
