Mesquite, NV – June 02, 2026
The Mesquite Police Department is pleased to share a positive update regarding the 114 dogs recently rescued during our animal neglect
investigation.
Thanks to an incredible outpouring of support, five rescue organizations and animal welfare partners have stepped forward to help provide these dogs with a second chance at life. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Henderson Animal Care and Control, Pawsitive Difference Las Vegas, Path 4 Paws, The Humane Society of Northern Utah, and RSQ Dogs+ of St. George for their assistance in caring for and rehoming these animals.
We are also happy to report that every dog has been examined by a veterinarian, vaccinated, and determined to be healthy and suitable for
adoption.
At this time, only 19 dogs remain at the Mesquite Animal Shelter. These dogs are primarily mothers and puppies who continue to receive excellent care while they await placement into loving homes.
This outcome would not have been possible without the dedication of our Animal Control Officers, shelter staff, rescue partners, veterinarians, volunteers, and community members who donated supplies, time, and money. Your support has made a tremendous difference in the lives of these animals.
Thank you, Mesquite, for once again demonstrating the compassion and generosity that make our community so special.
