Don't leave your trash, fishing lines, fishing hooks or anything anytime!!

We would love to remind everyone to take EVERYTHING with you when you leave your favorite fishing or swimming spot. Here you can see the XRay of a poor puppy who swallowed a fishing hook left behind. Luckily he was ok but this could have been devastating. Thank you all for helping us keep Twin Lakes one of the most amazing places on earth. Have a beautiful day! Please keep comments kind, but it would be a cool place to remind people of some common courtesy that we should all try to follow. Things I always tell people: respect quiet times and people’s space. Don’t pass illegally, we see fatal accidents every year as a result of passing when it’s not safe. If there are cars behind you trying to pass or go faster, just pull over and let them go. Slow down to protect our wild life, visitors and children. Be kind to the workers, seasonal workers are doing their best and need your patience. Twin Lakes Road as 25 MPH zones, please just slow down. …

♥️🐾❤️This is one of our longterm foster sanctuary dogs. She is older & has arthritis. Her medication costs us $145.00 a month. She is also on a couple supplements when we can afford them, that cost around $219.00 + a month. She seems to be in more pain recently. We need to get her into one of our vets to be looked over. We need to refill her meds & purchase her supplements. She also needs to get into a compassionate groomer.

♥️🐾❤️2 of our other dogs need to be seen by our vet also. One for ear issues & one for skin issues. They all are due for their vaccinations soon.

💸We need your help to cover these costs. If everyone can pitch in and donate, this would take a huge load off of us.

💰All money raised will go to the care, vet appointments, medicine & supplements for 3 of our longterm foster dogs. If anything is left over, we will use it for the next round of prescriptions & supplements.

🙏🏽Thank you for your support.
Together we are making a difference.

💙We are a nonprofit 501c3.

⚠️July 4 Safety Message⚠️
Trash and debris left behind after festivities can be harmful and even fatal to area wildlife. It’s a human health hazard and degrades the clarity of Lake Tahoe. This year, let’s work together to ensure Lake Tahoe beaches remain pristine and litter-free!

Helpful Tip: Bring a few trash bags along in case trash cans and dumpsters are full or unavailable, and never leave trash outside of or on top of receptacles.

Volunteer: The Keep Tahoe Blue League to Save Lake Tahoe will hold their 12th Annual Keep Tahoe Red, White and Blue Beach Clean-Up on Saturday, July 5, from 8-11:30 a.m. Anyone interested in volunteering should visit their website at www.keeptahoeblue.org/ for more information.

Be caring with your pets this holiday weekend. The excitement of fireworks and bustling holiday crowds can easily overwhelm even the calmest dog, triggering a panicked escape.

Keep your little guys safe from the noise in a quiet, sheltered, and escape-proof area at home. Make sure your pets are always wearing proper identification. A collar with up-to-date ID tags, and ideally, a microchip, will make reuniting with your pet easier.

If your dog is lost in the Truckee area, call Truckee Animal Services at 530-582-7830.

If lost in the North Tahoe area, call Placer County Animal Control at 530-886-5535.

As you are camping, hiking & traveling with your pets, please think about their safety first.
🔹Keep your dogs leashed at all times. It is in their nature to go after wildlife/critters. They love to go check out new scents. That can lead to them getting confused & lost.
🔺Do not take to places they have to walk on hot surfaces. Dogs sweat thru their feet, so it is dangerous & burns their paws.
🔹Keep cats crated & make sure door is secured shut.
🔹Do not leave windows opened where you're staying. Cats & dogs can & will easily jump out of screened windows.
🔹Be careful opening doors. They can easily & quickly escape.
🛑NEVER leave them in your car or in back of truck.
🛑NEVER take your dogs to fireworks!! They are super scary & loud for them. They will rip a leash right out of your hand & bolt.
💥🔥You never know when some idiot is going to let off fireworks or gunshots near you.
🔺Please keep them secured & indoors.
🆘NEVER leave your pet alone or outside during fireworks. The sounds will trigger them to panic & run for their lives.
🔺Keep all doors, windows & gates closed & secured at all times.
🔺Keep collars & tags with current phone # on them.
🔹Keep a gps collar on them, like Fi. ⚠️No airtags! They are useless on a moving animal.
🔹Microchip your pets & make sure to register them & all information is current.
🔹Keep current full body & face photos of your pet, in your phone.
🔹Give dogs a good walk earlier in day.
🔹Keep radio/tv & fan on to help mask the noise.
🔹Give calming medicine or supplements if needed.
🔹Give them a safe place indoors to hide, like a crate.
🆘If your pet takes off, do NOT chase them or yell their name.
🆘They go into survival mode immediately when triggered.
🛑Do NOT go searching, spreading your scent everywhere. You will be pushing them further away, confusing them & scaring them even more.
🛑STAY where you lost them.
🆘If you see a lost dog, try luring it to you.
🛑Do NOT call out, approach, follow or chase any lost pet!!! 🆘That will only push it to run faster & farther away.
🆘If you find a lost pet, please keep it secure. Take it to your closest animal shelter ASAP. That is the first place an owner will look. Not everyone has social media. Lost pets need to be reunited asap. ⚠️Keeping them is stealing, which is against the law.
♥️Most lost pets can be prevented.
💔It is very stressful & expensive to lose a pet.
❤️They rely on YOU to keep them safe & secure!
🆘If you need our services, CALL 775-721-DOGS (3647) ASAP-before you make any human instinct mistakes.
🔹If we don't get started working with you immediately, we usually will not be able to take the case.
⚠️We do have requirements to work with us.
🔹A contract & donation is required up front before we start working with owners.
🔹We do limit our cases, so we can give 100% to each case.
🔹If we do not have enough volunteers, equipment, supplies or funding available, we won't be able to help.
