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.
"I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again." Stephen Grellet, 1773-1855
UPDATE - SUMMER 2009
BE A FOSTER PARENT! Temporary homes are urgently needed for healthy animals awaiting to be placed before arriving at Tara Farm Rescue. If you could take one in, please let us know.
BECOME A HANDS-ON VOLUNTEER! If you could spend a little time each week with one or two of our residents, we'd like to hear from you. Long-neglected animals are starved for individual care and attention.
Volunteer: We have a wide variety of chores waiting to be done! If you would like to help please stop by anytime on Saturdays and ask for Bonnie Jeanne.
We desperately need Grant writers! Please email us if you know of anyone who is willing to help.
