Last summer, Henderson police went to a house to investigate a complaint from a neighbor. Police found the owners were running a puppy mill. That is, they were breeding young, female dogs and selling their pups for $2,000-$5,000.
The residents had 39 dogs. 34 of them were French Bulldogs. Four of them were pregnant.
There were also two horses, over 100 chickens and a couple of goats, according to Clark County Animal Protection Services - which most people just call Animal Control
All of those animals were taken to the Animal Foundation. This made overcrowding at the Foundation a lot worse. And it’s been pretty bad for a while.
The team decided to look at this topic because... well... PUPPIES! But also because it is a demonstration of how civics work when neighboring municipalities don't coordinate. It's hard to ban pet stores - as Clark County and North Las Vegas did - when pet stores are perfectly legal in Henderson and Las Vegas.
