Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe raising funds

The Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe is launching its first Giving Tuesday campaign this year.

The agency is hoping to catch the attention and hearts of local animal lovers by putting Pickle in the spotlight.

Weighing less than 5 pounds, Pickle was found abandoned in the middle of nowhere. Very fragile, suffering from an upper respiratory disease and a severe case of mange, she was brought to HSTT.  Outfitted with state-of-the-art medical equipment in their in-house treatment room and new facility, along with the help of foster homes for special cases, Pickle was nursed back to health.

The Giving Tuesday campaign has secured a matching donor up to $10,000, boosting the fundraising possibilities to $20,000. Every dollar brought in on Dec. 2 will be matched by an anonymous donor.
