Henderson Animal Protection Services will cut adoption fees by 50 percent for senior pets throughout November 2026. This promotion highlights Senior Pet Month for residents looking to adopt animals aged seven years or older.
Why it matters
Adopting an older animal often comes with lower training needs and predictable temperaments, and this fee reduction makes adding a senior pet to your home more budget-friendly. The city initiated this program to coincide with Senior Pet Month.
Adoption fees for pets aged seven years and older will be reduced by 50 percent through November 2026. The facility is located at 300 E. Galleria Drive and processes adoptions daily until 4:30 p.m.
The players
Henderson Animal Protection Services
The city agency responsible for local pet rescues, animal welfare, and managing pet adoptions within the community.
The details
The discount applies exclusively to adoptions processed at the Henderson Animal Protection Services facility. To qualify, the animal must be at least seven years old, which is the shelter's age threshold for senior designation. Adoptions must be finalized by 4:30 p.m. on operating days to ensure all paperwork and logistics are completed within service hours.
Timeline
November 2026: Discounted adoption fees are available all month.
Monday through Saturday: The facility is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Home Front
This initiative follows the standard industry pattern of using National Senior Pet Month to encourage the adoption of older animals. Local agencies frequently use these awareness periods to clear kennel space and increase placement rates for long-term shelter residents.
If you are considering adding a pet, plan to visit the shelter at 300 E. Galleria Drive during regular hours to meet senior animals before the November 2026 deadline. Be sure to arrive before 4:30 p.m. on Monday through Saturday to ensure you can finalize your adoption in time.
The takeaway
Adopting an older pet can be a rewarding way to support animal welfare while potentially skipping the intense training phase of a puppy or kitten. If you are interested in this promotion, visit the shelter before the end of November 2026 to see current senior residents available for adoption.
