VEGAS (December 11, 2024) – The Vegas Golden Knights and the Friends of Henderson Animal Support (FOHAS) have partnered to host a pet adoption event on Wednesday, December 18, at the Henderson Animal Care and Control Center. Through this partnership the Vegas Golden Knights Foundation will cover up to $15,000 in adoption fees for animals finding a new home that day, with select Golden Knights players visiting the facility from 5 to 6 p.m. PT.
“Several of our players are passionate about animal welfare and they helped connect us with the Friends of Henderson Animal Support for this exciting opportunity,” said Kim Frank, President of the Vegas Golden Knights Foundation. “Bringing a pet into the family is incredibly rewarding and it’s our hope that this event encourages more people to adopt this holiday season.”
The Henderson Animal Care and Control Center shelter is located at 300 E. Galleria Drive in Henderson and is open Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. PT. The shelter will remain open until 6:30 p.m. PT for the event on Wednesday, December 18.
