Tara Farm Rescue is a nonprofit animal sanctuary located at 670 Babcock Hill Road in Coventry, CT (Telephone 860-742-2215). We are funded by private donations and staffed by volunteer workers of all ages and from all walks of life. The Rescue was started in 1982 by BonnieJeanne Gorden who has dedicated her life to easing the suffering of animals. Originally started as a home for unwanted horses, Tara Farm Rescue has expanded and now unwanted, neglected and abused cows, pigs, rabbits, chickens, goats, dogs and cats are taken in, rehabilitated, and when possible, placed in adoptive homes. When new animals arrive at Tara Farm, they almost always need veterinary services and this can be costly. The lengthy rehabilitation process and maintenance of the 144 animals under BonnieJeanne's care require a constant cash expenditure. We at Tara Farm Rescue vow to do everything in our power (including engaging the help of highly-trained professionals) to ensure that our animals receive the best care possible.

Tara Farm Rescue was started over 20 years ago and is dedicated to easing the suffering of animals. Originally started as a home for unwanted horses, the Rescue was expanded to help all types of neglected and abused farm animals, Chow dogs and FIV/FELV cats. The farm rehabilitates, and when possible, places animals in adoptive homes. The farm is the perfect setting for supporting the community by providing programs for special-needs individuals and vulnerable youths.
