The SPCA of Northern Nevada Thrift Store … the only thrift store giving animals a second chance! We are committed to lower prices and finding new loving homes for homeless animals.

We moved!

The Thrift Store moved location on March 1, to 4th and Vine (former home of Sportsman's). Twice the space for twice the inventory.

Items we can no longer accept

As we continue to revamp and improve the shopping experience at the SPCA of Northern Nevada Thrift Store, we are evaluating the merchandize we take in and the salability of the items. Unfortunately, during our reorganization we ran across a lot of items that have been sitting in the thrift store for months and were taking up valuable space. When we have items that we cannot sell it is costly for us to dispose of those items. The money spent on disposal takes away valuable revenue that we use to care for the animals.

As a result we have certain items that we can no longer accept. We apologize for any inconvenience. Along with the items listed below we have also listed some companies or organizations that will take certain merchandise. The listing of companies or organizations is provided by Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful.

Items we can no longer accept include:

  • Large or small copiers
  • Ski’s and ski poles
  • Encyclopedias
  • Treadmills and large exercise equipment
  • Car seats
