A service to help feed Truckee-Tahoe’s community pets

Our Pet Pantry acts as a safety net to ensure that Tahoe pets stay in their loving homes, and are not surrendered to the shelter due to financial strain. Pet food and supplies are available to community members to help supplement care regardless of circumstances. Food pickup is available at both our Truckee, and South Lake Tahoe locations. We’ve partnered with local social service groups to provide additional distribution locations, available basin wide. For distribution schedules outside of Truckee and SLT, please call 530-582-2484.

Truckee food pick up is available at HSTT’s Pet Pantry everyday from 8AM until close (please call ahead after 5pm, as our hours sometimes change due to staffing shortages). Two bear boxes are located outside of our shelter with food and supplies to pickup, when available. The Truckee Animal Shelter is located at 10961 Stevens Lane in Truckee.

South Lake Tahoe pet food pick up is available at 3438 South Lake Blvd., South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 Tuesdays through Thursdays from 10am-6pm, Fridays from 10am-5pm, and Saturdays from 9am-noon. Closed on Sundays and Mondays.
