Tara's House Animal Rescue, Inc.

Tara's House is a private, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization based in Columbia and Silver Spring, Maryland. Our mission is to rescue and then provide care and compassion for our pets while working to place them, through a competitive adoption process, in permanent, loving homes. We are a high-placement organization and we rescue our pets primarily from high-kill shelters with no funding for their own adoption programs. We receive no government funding of any kind, and therefore operate solely on private donations, adoption fees and volunteer efforts.

Meet Toby

Meet Toby, a bright-eyed Yorkshire Terrier with a heart full of love and a mind full of tricks!  At just a year and a half old and weighing in at a perfect 12 pounds, Toby is the ultimate companion—small enough to snuggle but big enough in personality to fill a home with joy. This little guy is a social butterfly, getting along beautifully with both dogs and humans alike. We do not know about cats.  He’s not just charming; he’s incredibly smart too! Toby knows many commands and is eager to show off his skills, whether it’s sitting patiently for a treat or strutting his stuff on a leash. And bonus—he’s fully house-trained, crate-trained, and well behaved making him an easy addition to any loving home.  Toby came to Tara’s house when his previous owner became ill and the family felt it would be best to find Toby a new family that could give him the full life he deserves. Due to Toby’s small size, he may only go to a home with children over the age of 12 who have learned to be respectful of dogs Toby’s ideal family? Someone who appreciates his playful spirit, intelligence, and affectionate nature. He’s ready to shower his future family with devotion, cuddles, and a lifetime of happy tail wags.  Could Toby be the missing piece in your heart? Come meet this wonderful little pup and see for yourself—his love is waiting for you! You can adopt Toby by filling out our online application, which is found on our website www.tarashouse.org.  His adoption fee is $475 , which includes neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. Please email us at [email protected] with any questions.
