Foster-based. All-volunteer. Serving Cumberland, Hoke & Moore counties, NC.

Your Gift Saves Lives

Adoption fees just barely cover the medical basics. Donations keep the lights on for the hard cases — the bottle babies, the seniors, the long-stay dogs, and the emergencies that show up with no warning.

TARA Rescue is a 100% volunteer-run, foster-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. EIN: 46-0736492. All donations are tax deductible as allowed by law.

Give Online

Online donations are the fastest way to help. Every dollar goes straight back into rescue — medical care, food, transport, and keeping animals safe while they wait for their families.

Ko-fi

Small gifts add up in a big way.

Buy us a “coffee” (or, honestly, dog food) on Ko-fi. It’s fast, easy, and helps cover everyday expenses for animals already in our care.

Want to set up a monthly donation? Most platforms above allow recurring gifts. Even a small monthly amount helps us plan ahead for the animals who will need us next.

Where Your Donation Goes

Adoption fees help cover the essentials — spay/neuter, vaccines, and basic vetting. Donations fill in all the gaps, especially for animals who need extra time and care.

  • Food and supplies for animals in foster care, especially long-term stays
  • Emergency and advanced medical care beyond the basics
  • Special-needs animals who may never be “easy” to place
  • Orphaned bottle babies who need round-the-clock care
  • Transport costs to get animals into safe foster homes
  • Administrative essentials like insurance and required fees

Monthly Giving, Sponsorships & Tribute Gifts

Not everyone can adopt — but you can still change a life. Sponsoring an animal or giving in honor of someone special is a powerful way to help.

Monthly Support

A recurring monthly gift helps us say “yes” to the animals who need us most, even when their care will be expensive or long-term. You choose the amount; we turn it into vaccines, food, and safety.

Sponsor an Animal

If you can’t adopt but want to help a specific dog or cat, you can sponsor their care or even their adoption fee — in full or in part. Sponsored fees help great animals get noticed faster.

Memorial & Tribute Gifts

Memorial or tribute donations in honor of a person or beloved pet are always welcome. Let us know who you’re honoring, and we’ll make sure your gift helps another animal find safety and love.

Other Ways to Give

Not a “click a button and donate” person? That’s okay. There are other ways to support TARA Rescue that make a huge difference.
