Humane Society of Truckee

I wish all Animal Shelters could be like this one. The staff is very caring and will take the time to make sure you get the pet that is perfect for you. The facilities are beautiful. Animals (cats) have rooms where they can roam around and be with other cats. I adopted Jack (the Cat); he’s a real treasure. Thanks Truckee/​Tahoe Shelter for all the love and caring you give to your animals!

Not only is the new facility awesome, but the staff who work here are really helpful in adopting just the right pet for you! It’s really obvious that they care about their animals and want to make sure it’s a perfect match for you both. Thank you all for your caring and help in my recent adoption!

Five stars all the way. Stephanie Nistler, the executive director of the HSTT, has brought Truckee-Tahoe’s animal shelter roaring into the 21^st century. The beautiful, functional, and efficient new shelter is a joy to enter, and the hardworking, dedicated, and inspiring team are all under one roof after years of challenging circumstances, including a «temporary» metal-​walled outbuilding/​shelter that was the main place North Tahoe’s shelter animals were housed for close to 20 years.
Aside from the amazing structure and talented staff, the stars of this shelter are the animals… each one is given amazing TLC and a soft place to land while they find a new home. I’m always inspired and moved by the very palpable respect and love that animals have at this organization. Definitely the first place to look for your new pet. This place is the real deal.

The new facility is amazing! This is the cleanest, well laid out, Humane Society i’ve had the pleasure of touring. We went there to see one of their dogs for adoption (unfortunately it just wasn’t the right dog for us.) The staff was excellent (we were helped by Alicia). They are open Tuesday through Saturday.
