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. 802147 36266 11748 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. 76991 6760 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. 1815559 true true false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false false false false false false true false false false true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 22 0 true 32 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false true false false false X 10 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA NV X X Stephanie Nistler 5305875948 10961 Stevens Lane Truckee CA 96161 Stephanie Nistler CEO 40.00 0.00 X 177811 0 3100 Dale Lawrence Dvlp & Mrktg Dir 40.00 0.00 114962 0 4383 Emily Holmes Operations Dir 40.00 0.00 107480 0 4323 Michael Ryan President 12.00 0.00 X X 5135 0 0 Nancy Holliday Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Pete Kristian Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 M Hannah Sullivan Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Emily Abernathy Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Traci Mason Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ed Cheung Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Aimee Schaller Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carol Lindsay Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Meg Urie Rab Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 405388 11806 3 false true false none than threshold 0 65613 33239 1882577 696304 1981429 Animal Services 900099 94656 94656 Edventure Camp 900099 6760 6760 Fees & Contracts Gov Agencies 900099 27784 27784 Spay & Neuter 900099 10660 10660 139860 60537 60537 0 0 400 400 400 400 -1209 -1209 -1209 -1209 78633 65613 90226 -11593 -11593 3800 3800 3800 16667 10465 6202 6202 Reward Points & Other 900099 3865 3865 3865 2183291 150327 51535 0 36266 36266 0 0 183087 138599 35590 8898 0 1145170 977032 77026 91112 0 39888 28167 5788 5933 102521 86080 8708 7733 0 902 902 23601 23601 0 0 0 98172 69589 16700 11883 5300 584 550 4166 4961 2288 2637 36 21496 3265 8560 9671 0 230555 230555 8439 7565 549 325 0 2263 1914 349 0 0 68754 68179 575 58178 35749 19217 3212 Supplies 51851 46189 1971 3691 Vaccinations/meds/chips 41617 41617 Merchant/Bank Fees 21444 10788 10610 46 Telephone. 14525 14045 480 35481 17088 13796 4597 2194471 1815559 227034 151878 168382 139370 58275 10037 19204 53981 0 0 0 0 35049 121209 17899 18031 188269 140552 46455 47717 1181730 1238798 0 0 2620350 2560367 24497 613945 4171841 4803455 87404 97291 595214 87404 692505 X 3827591 3773844 256846 337106 4084437 4110950 4171841 4803455 -11180 1322 36371 X false true X true false X 1107229 1350272 1535767 1342464 1981429 7317161 119463 128438 144390 158881 160792 711964 35365 65847 32863 23922 157997 0 0 1226692 1514075 1746004 1534208 2166143 8187122 283576 360135 374391 68463 47613 1134178 0 283576 360135 374391 68463 47613 1134178 7052944 1424 758 11413 51411 60537 125543 0 1424 758 11413 51411 60537 125543 28750 18540 19735 4077 3800 74902 0 1256866 1533373 1777152 1589696 2230480 8387567 0.84090 0.81350 0.01500 0.00790 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 200000 7341 7341 200000 0.01000 false false false 58989 23324 35665 77332 65280 12052 51948 51948 47717 Interest Receivable 3667 Rental Deposit 15064 Right of Use Asset 595214 613945 Lease Liability 595214 595214 X 2184612 1321 1321 2183291 2183291 2194471 2194471 2194471 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
