Animal Services
Mission: To promote the compassionate, respectful, and humane treatment of animals and people through partnership, sheltering, services, and education.
Town of Truckee Animal Services and the Humane Society of Truckee Tahoe have a unique, long-standing partnership. Our shared animal shelter facility, located at 10961 Stevens Lane in Truckee, maximizes efficiency and effectiveness by housing the public and private entities under the same roof. Working together, we are saving 100% of our community’s adoptable pets.
