ANIMAL SHELTER:Rescue and Adoption MatchingHSTT accepts abandoned and relinquished pets in our jurisdiction. Additionally, we regularly accept animals from other overcrowded shelters. Our adoption program takes all necessary steps to ensure our pets are healthy, well-socialized, and at their best, then matches them with the perfect adoption candidate. In 2024, 716 homeless pets found new homes with the help of the HSTT.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH:Community Spay/NeuterHSTTs Low-Cost Community Spay/Neuter (CSN) Program helps income-restricted people living within our region with the cost of these expensive surgeries. Spay/Neuter surgeries not only prevent unwanted pet pregnancy but also improve the health of family pets by decreasing rates of certain types of cancer and other health concerns. In 2024, we provided 400 families with spay or neuter services. Providing assistance with these surgery costs improves the health of our communitys pets and relieves the burden of unwanted litters.Community Pet Care AssistanceThe Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe believes it is in an animals best interest to stay in their loving, responsible home rather than enter the shelter system whenever possible. To help guardians keep their companion animals through difficult times, we offer assistance to qualifying residents of our community.The goal is to fill a small funding gap for low-income, elderly, and disabled pet caretakers who are unable to afford necessary or urgent care for their animals. In 2024, we provided 24 community members with 27 unexpected veterinary expenses totaling $13,796.Pet PantryOur Pet Pantry Program provides pet food to needy families throughout the Truckee/North Tahoe region on an as-needed basis. Drop-ins are assisted with pet food at our Truckee shelter and our South Lake Tahoe center, providing anyone in need with the opportunity to pick up food any day of the week. In 2024, we provided over 12,000 pounds of pet food and 2000 pounds of cat litter to pets in need.Wellness ClinicsHSTT brings animal wellness services into impoverished communities via vaccination and microchip clinics. During these clinics, our Veterinarian and his team meet one-on-one with pet owners to provide wellness exams, vaccinations, and microchips to their dogs and/or cats. We also take this opportunity to educate people on spaying/neutering and sign them up for our spay/neuter clinics. In 2024, we served 405 pets during our Wellness Clinics providing 837 vaccines and 147 microchips.

HUMANE EDUCATION:Pet Assisted Therapy (PAT)HSTTs PAT program brings joy to the lives of hundreds of local community members who could benefit from the loving touch of an animal. Our PAT teams visit patients in local hospitals, students preparing for exams, and firefighters working on the front lines of fires. Volunteers, with their trained and certified therapy dogs, visit people who greatly benefit from the calming effects of an animal. Our Pet Assisted Therapy dogs bring smiles to hundreds of people throughout the year.Volunteer ProgramOur Volunteer Program gives many people, including adults with disabilities, children, and seniors, the opportunity to learn and utilize skills while making a difference in the lives of needy pets. We are proud to work closely with Tahoe Ability, a nonprofit providing services for adults with developmental disabilities, helping their clients learn functional life skills. We have over 700 active volunteers participating in our shelter, program, and fundraising activities annually.Our Humane Education Program highlights various topics throughout the year that nurture the people-pet relationship emphasizing responsibility, safety, and awareness. Our hope is to build a feeling of community and social awareness in the youth we reach. The impact of our presentations has resulted in many new school-age children becoming involved in volunteering in our community. Humane Education presentations take place in two public elementary schools and one private charter school on a monthly basis when school is in session. Read Up for Fun (RUFF)HSTTs Reading Program, Read Up for Fun (RUFF), is designed to build self-esteem in young readers. Trained volunteers bring their dogs into area schools where children will read to the dog. The dog provides a comforting audience that is perfect for allowing children who lack confidence in their reading to have a safe atmosphere in which to practice.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
