Henderson HMC Title 6 restricts retail pet stores from selling dogs, cats, and rabbits sourced from commercial breeders, requiring shelter or rescue partnerships consistent with regional retail rescue ordinances adopted across Clark County jurisdictions.
Henderson restricts retail dog, cat, and rabbit sales under HMC Title 6 to align with shelter-partnership models that Clark County and Las Vegas have phased in. Retail stores located in Henderson may showcase animals from registered shelters, humane societies, or 501(c)(3) rescues, but generally cannot sell animals sourced from commercial breeders or brokers. Stores must post source documentation onsite, maintain veterinary records, and report adoption outcomes. Hobby and registered breeders are not affected and may sell directly under separate breeder permit rules. The ordinance aims to reduce commercial puppy mill supply chains and support local shelter intake reduction.
Selling commercially sourced puppies, kittens, or rabbits at retail can trigger citations of 500 to 1,000 dollars per animal, business license review, and possible permit suspension for repeat offenders.
