Pahrump shelter event offers waived adoption fees, local vendors join in
Waived fees and vendors drew adopters to 1580 E. Siri Lane on June 27 as Nye County kept leaning on discounts to move shelter pets into homes.
Waived adoption fees and local vendors turned the Nye County Animal Shelter in Pahrump into an Adopt-N-Shop stop on June 27, as county officials and the Town of Pahrump pushed another effort to move dogs and cats into homes at 1580 E. Siri Lane. The shelter serves Pahrump and all of Nye County, and residents can search adoptable and found animals by zip code 89060.
The Pahrump shelter is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with Sunday visits by appointment. Pets adopted from the shelter are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
Nye County waived adoption fees for Clear the Shelters in August 2025, District 2 Commissioner John Koenig covered fees through Oct. 31, 2025, and the shelter joined BISSELL Pet Foundation’s Empty the Shelters campaigns in October and December 2025 before offering no-fee adoptions again in January 2026. In December, shelter manager Kristina Siegmund said, “Every adoption is a second chance.”
The shelter had 819 adoptions in 2025, 1,609 intakes and an on-site census of 140-plus animals. Nye County Animal Control handles animal welfare calls, public health and safety issues, rabies control, quarantine, cruelty investigations, barking dogs and animals-at-large.
