ANIMAL SHELTER

Rescue the mistreated, save the injured, and love the abandoned.

The Bullhead City Animal Shelter is a safe and caring environment for lost, stray, or surrendered animals. We are committed to the health, safety, and welfare of both residents and animals and provides essential services to manage and care for the local pet population. We take in over 1,800 animals each year and operate as a no-kill facility. We're proud to be a network partner with Best Friends Animal Society.

Our team works hard to reunite lost pets with their families, find loving homes for adoptable animals, and ensure animals are treated humanely throughout the community. We encourage responsible pet ownership by offering licenses for Bullhead City residents, vaccinations clinics, and spay/neuter resources. We also regularly works with rescue groups, volunteers, and local partners to promote pet adoption and community awareness. Residents are encouraged to get involved through adoption, volunteering, or donating to support the shelter’s mission.

Coming Soon: Bullhead City Animal Resource Center (BARC)

We are currently remodeling the former Mohave Valley Daily News building into the new Bullhead City Animal Resource Center (BARC) located at 2435 Miracle Mile. This 27,353-square-foot facility will bring modern amenities such as a veterinary clinic, public dog wash, enhanced kennels and cat condos, viewing areas, and a pet crematorium, to name a few. Construction is underway with completion anticipated by January 2026.

Once complete, BARC will replace the existing Bullhead City Animal Shelter and become the City’s central hub for animal resources such as adoptions and public education. This expanded facility will allow us to better meet the growing needs of the community and provide a higher level of care and resources for pets and their owners.
