An offshoot of the Village Pet Foundation Thrift Store just a few doors down in the same shopping center, the Village Pet Foundation Furniture Gallery is packed to the gills with high-quality, gently used home furnishings, from sofas, chairs, tables and dressers to artwork and home accessories. Be sure to check out the Thrift Store as well for other home goods, clothing, electronics, toys and more. Volunteers staff the Furniture Gallery and Thrift Store, and Village Pet Foundation is always looking for more volunteers and gently used donations.
By shopping here and donating to the foundation, you can help pet owners and animals in the community. The foundation helps families and individuals who are struggling to pay for veterinary bills for their sick or suffering pets and also loans "wheelies," which are wheelchairs for pets who have mobility issues. Every dollar raised (or donated) goes back to helping families in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Village Pet Foundation offers grants to help cover the expenses, and the money goes directly to the veterinarian. Certain criteria must be met to qualify for a grant.
