How you help
Whether you are interested in adopting a new companion, volunteering to be a friend to a homeless animal at our ranch, or helping with a donation, we welcome you!
About us
TARA rescues and finds loving homes for abandoned and abused companion and farm animals and offers sanctuary to those who have special needs and can sometimes be more difficult to adopt out. Our animals come from a variety of backgrounds, from homeless strays and feral to rescues from kill shelters and hoarding situations. Wherever we see an animal in need, we help. Located at Rancho Providencia, a peaceful, four-acre ranch in Chatsworth, CA, TARA is a haven for goats, horses, donkeys, parrots and geese, cats and dogs.
