Founded in 1967, The Lake Tahoe Humane Society and S.P.C.A. through the years has provided a variety of programs including animal sheltering, animal protection, spay-neuter subsidies, and support to keep animals in their homes. Today our focus is on cruelty prevention and environmental awareness through advocacy and education. Disaster preparedness and disaster relief also are priorities. Working in partnership with other agencies, we promote shelter adoptions, maintain a pet food bank, subsidize spay-neuter fees, are prepared to set up temporary animal shelters paw prints graphic when disaster strikes, and offer innovative education programs such as “My Reading Buddy”. You can share in our work by making sure your gift for the animals stays in Lake Tahoe.
