The Animal Rescue & Adoption Agency (taraa)

About

The Animal Rescue and Adoption Agency, Inc. also known as TARAA, is a 501c3 non-profit no kill organization for the welfare and protection of animals. Founded by Jennifer A. Coscia in 2005, TARAA has rescued and placed into homes over 4,000 animals in need. What makes TARAA different from many other rescues is that we rescue dogs and cats that are over-looked by other rescue groups. The animals with skin conditions or other health issues, such as heart worm deserve the chance to live and find their forever homes as much as the cute healthy adoptable animals. “Minor ailments like ringworm, are no reason to kill an animal as many kill shelters do,” says Coscia. TARAA rescues debilitated or sick animals, has them treated by their veterinarian and then put up for adoption. Primarily a ‘foster-care’ organization, TARAA has several foster families that volunteer their services by opening their homes to these very special animals.
