Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe hoping to warm hearts with Spring Tuesday campaign

The Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe (HSTT) has announced its Spring Giving Tuesday campaign set for May 16, 2023. HSTT’s goal on Giving Tuesday, and every other day of the year, is to make the world a better place for pets and people with the helping hands of the community.

“The lifesaving potential for this Spring Giving Tuesday is incredible– with the support of donors, adopters, volunteers, and the animal-loving community, HSTT can continue providing transformative services for pets and people in our region,” says Community Engagement Director of HSTT, Erin Eillis. "With dreams of fairer weather in mind, we hope our 2023 Spring Giving Tuesday campaign will have people feeling all warm and sunny while supporting our lifesaving work."

The aim is not only to raise funds and awareness for the shelter but also to find forever homes for the big bunch of springy, warm, and cuddly Giving Tuesday puppies and pets who will be available for adoption that day. All these special pets will be available for adoption at the shelter at 10961 Stevens Lane in Truckee starting at 1 p.m. on May 16.

This Spring Giving Tuesday, a generous donor has offered an inspiring pledge to match up to $75,000 in donations. The campaign provides an opportunity for people to support HSTT's important work and have their donations doubled. There’s an added bonus – participants that make a one-time donation of $125 or more, or sign up to donate $20 or more per month will also be entered for a chance to win a $500 VISA gift card.

Another plus – it’s now easier than ever to donate stock, bonds, and mutual funds with those donations matched DOLLAR-for-DOLLAR as well. You can donate stock to HSTT through the website.

The Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe was founded in 1994 by a group of volunteers. Shortly after its establishment, the Humane Society and the Town of Truckee became partners and together have become the driving force of animal welfare in their region through rescue, protection and adoption. The partnership has continued to grow over the past two decades, solidifying a long-standing relationship in September of 2013 by opening the region’s first public animal shelter. This facility, located at 10961 Stevens Lane in Truckee, maximizes efficiency and effectiveness by housing the public and private entities under the same roof. The opening of a second location at 3438 Lake Tahoe Blvd. in South Lake Tahoe has enabled the agency to service the entire Lake Tahoe region.
