There is a special kind of tree on display at the Walgreens on Main Street in Susanville right now – it’s a tree dedicated to making the holidays a little better for cats and dogs in the Lassen County Animal Shelter. The pet tree makes a big difference, each year raising about $1,500 in donations, along with toys, beds and comfort items for the shelter.
How it Works
Donors pull, or read, a tag with a needed item, then donate that item or items to the shelter. You can also donate cash or check.
Drop off your donations at the Lassen County Animal Shelter, 472-000 Johnstonville Road, Monday through Friday, 9:00a.m. until 3:00p.m. They are closed Saturday, Sunday and holidays.
Many people choose to make a monetary donation. Checks need to be made out to Lassen County Animal Shelter TRUST. Donors can drop those checks off at the Shelter or can be mailed to:
Lassen County Animal Shelter, 707 Nevada Street, Suite #4, Susanville, CA 96130.
For Pick-up of donations they can call Ronnie Chandler at 1.530.249.6620 or Elaine Jacobs at 1.530.310.1774.
