A Life-Saving Leap Forward for Tahoe’s Animals – And You Can Make It Happen!

At this year’s Fur Ball: Tails & Tapas, we’re inviting our incredible community to be part of something extraordinary—something that will redefine animal care in Lake Tahoe for generations to come.

We’re raising our paddles for progress. Our goal? To bring a CT scanner to Pet Network Community Hospital.

This isn’t just about technology—it’s about time. Time that can mean the difference between life and death for an animal in crisis. Right now, when a shelter pet suffers trauma, neurological issues, or internal complications, we’re often forced to send them hours away for critical imaging. That delay can cost precious minutes we don’t have.

With a CT scanner right here in Tahoe, we’ll be able to:

• Diagnose and treat critically injured or ill animals faster and more precisely

• Accept more emergency cases that other shelters must turn away

• Provide advanced diagnostics for both shelter pets and community pets through shared access

  
  

In other words, we’ll be able to say “yes” more often—and save more lives.

Your paddle raise gift at Tails & Tapas will directly support the acquisition and installation of this life-saving equipment. Every dollar brings us closer to a future where no animal is left behind because of where they live or what resources their shelter has.

If you’ve ever wished you could do something truly game-changing for animals in need—this is it.

Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for believing in a more compassionate, more capable Lake Tahoe.
