Welcome to
The Animal Rescue Alliance
Helping homeless pets
in the Greater Kansas City area
Founded in 2007
Dedicated to Saving Lives
TARA is a non-profit 501c3, all volunteer organization dedicated to helping homeless pets in the Greater Kansas City area.
TARA was founded in memory of Tara Nagel, a remarkable young woman whose kindness and compassion toward companion animals left a lasting impact. Tara tragically lost her life in a car accident in 2005. Inspired by her passion and dedication, we strive to honor Tara’s legacy by saving lives and ensuring that every animal receives the love and care they deserve.
Our mission reflects her spirit, motivating us every day to make a difference for those who cannot speak for themselves.
