Pahrump Animal Shelter now closed on Sundays
Nye County announced this week that the Pahrump Animal Shelter is now closed to the public on Sundays.
“The shelter’s hours will be Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Reclaiming of owned animals will be available on Sundays by appointment,” Nye County Public Communications Manager Arnold Knightly detailed.
When asked about what had prompted the change in shelter operation days, Knightly said the facility is facing staffing challenges.
He also noted that the shelter’s hours will be re-evaluated again at the end of April.
The adjustment to shelter hours does not impact Nye County Animal Control Services, which will remain available seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Pahrump Animal Shelter is located at 1580 Siri Lane.
