Groundbreaking Set for Humane Society Animal Shelter
After years of preparing planning designing and fundraising the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe in partnership with the Town of Truckee has announced a projected groundbreaking date of June 4 for the new animal shelter. If all goes as planned the shelter is expected to open in late 2013.
The humane society has partnered with the Town of Truckee to share the cost of construction and operation of a new shelter.
The facility will include rooms for dogs and large colony-style cat rooms with perches windows to the outside and natural sunlight.
The building will also include an education and training center allowing HSTT to expand its humane education dog training and pet assisted therapy programs. Open daily to the public the new shelter will provide a convenient location for people to meet and adopt future pets.
‘We are several steps closer to realizing our dream of building a shelter but we need our community to continue to support this project until we have met our ultimate fundraising goal’ said Stephanie Jensen humane society executive director. ‘We still must raise money to complete construction and build an endowment that will ensure our success into the future.’ Info: hstt.org
