The Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe has re-launched its Heroes Now & Forever campaign to raise another $1 million dollars to build its new shelter.

The Truckee Town Council recently voted to contribute $3.5 million to the project; additionally the town has donated land for the building site. The non-profit has raised $2.4 million so far.

Built to house eight dogs and 30 cats, the current shelter cannot accommodate the growing population HSTT cares for, which can number 25 dogs and up to 70 cats at any given time.
