Your contribution will help us continue to meet our mission of saving and improving the lives of pets through adoptions, community spay/neuter services and humane education programs.

Our adoption process consists of completing an adoption questionnaire, spending some time getting to know your prospective new pet, reviewing the medical and behavior history for the animal and then reading and signing our adoption contract. This process takes about an hour or so and then you’re ready to head home with your new pet

The Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe is able to save and improve the lives of homeless pets because of our vast network of generous volunteers. They provide support at the shelter, at our numerous events, through our growing humane education programs and through our Pet Assisted Therapy Program. In return, our volunteer programs offer great learning opportunities, socialization and fun in an environment with one goal: to help homeless pets in need.

The Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe is able to save so many lives thanks, in part, to our foster program. The Foster Program is a vital, life-saving program that makes an enormous difference for the animals in our care. Foster families provide a loving environment for HSTT pets who need a little extra TLC while awaiting adoption. You can choose to foster dogs, cats, puppies and kittens…whatever best fits into your lifestyle. We’ll provide all the support and supplies that you’ll need.

There are many ways your shopping can help homeless pets. Whether it’s fulfilling a wish on our shelter pet’s Wish Lists or finding the perfect gift from our online store for the animal-lover in your life, your purchases help HSTT care for pets in need.
