Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care says it will build a state-of-the-art wildlife hospital and recovery center.
Thanks to community donations, Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care reached its $1 million fundraising goal within six months time.
The non-profit says the Bently Foundation and MH Buckeye, provided a challenge grant offering a dollar-for-dollar match up to $500,000 to help fund the project.
LTWC anticipates that construction will start in the spring with hopes of being fully operational in spring of 2023.
The new building will feature:
- Large hospital, surgery and X-ray area
- Two large recovery hot rooms
- Indoor education facility
- Small dormitory for staff providing 24/7 care
- Publicly accessible lobby and animal reception
- Animal food storage and preparation area
- Support for the individual animal care buildings
