Licensing Locations

You may license your pet in person at City of Henderson Animal Care & Control at 300 E. Galleria Dr. in Henderson. Please bring your pet’s rabies vaccination certificate and spay/neuter certificate (if applicable) with you.

Required Paperwork

A current rabies vaccination certificate is required if the rabies vaccination on file has expired. Please check your certificate for correct address and pet information.
Proof of spay/neuter, such as a signed statement from a veterinarian or an invoice for services, is required if the pet has been altered since the last licensing period and you are applying for the lower spayed/neutered license fee.
