Show your love by sponsoring a pet!

We understand you may not be able to adopt right now, but you can still help a pet in need by becoming their sponsor. When you sponsor a pet with a donation of $25 or more, we will display your sponsored pet’s photo and the sponsor name on this page.

What is a sponsorship gift?

A sponsorship gift is a one-time or monthly recurring gift of $25 or more made in honor of an adoptable pet at TARA. You can sponsor a pet in your own name, your company or organization name, in honor or memory of a special pet or person, or as a gift for a special occasion or holiday.

Which pets can I sponsor?

You can choose any adoptable pet at TARA to sponsor!  Visit Our Dogs or Our Cats pages to see our current pets for adoption. 

Are sponsorship gifts a one-time donation or recurring?

It’s your choice! If you choose to make recurring monthly donations of $25 or more, we will contact you when your sponsored pet gets adopted so that you may choose another pet to sponsor.

How is my sponsorship acknowledged?

We will display a photo of your sponsored pet on our web site with the sponsor’s name.  If you, or the person in whose name you are sponsoring a pet as a gift, does not want the sponsor name displayed, we will list the pet sponsor as Anonymous.

What does my sponsorship go toward?

TARA’s costs for caring for a homeless pet typically range anywhere from $200 to $2000, depending on their medical needs and how long they are with us. Your donation helps us cover the costs for your sponsored pet, and if those costs have been met, your donation will help other pets in our care.
