Animal Services
Effective January 5, 2025, the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe (HSTT) has expanded its role through a new municipal contract with the Town of Truckee to oversee shelter operations, veterinary services, and community outreach. This partnership is designed to address our community’s growing needs, elevate animal care, and broaden program availability, including low-cost spay/neuter clinics and pet wellness initiatives.
The Truckee Animal Shelter is located at 10961 Stevens Lane in Truckee. Please visit www.hstt.org for more information on adoption, free microchipping, animal licensing, and other helpful resources for pet owners.
The Truckee Police Department will continue collaborating with HSTT, maintaining responsibility for animal control field services through our dedicated Community Service Officers. This includes investigating reports of abuse, enforcing Town of Truckee Animal Services Muni Code violations, and fielding community complaints.
To report suspected animal abuse, an animal bite, or to file an animal related complaint, please contact the Nevada County Regional Dispatch Center non-emergency line at 530-550-2320.
Disaster preparedness resources for you and your pet can be found on the Ready Truckee section of our website.
