No Kill Animal Rescue and Sanctuary

Practice kindness, save a life...change the world

Tara's Babies is a no-kill dog rescue and lifetime sanctuary located in the wilderness of Northern Arizona. We began during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, rescuing dogs and cats left abandoned and homeless by the devastation. We continue to save the lives of dogs facing euthanasia in shelters throughout the USA.

Our mission is to:

1. Rescue dogs on death row who have no other hope;
2. Work with fearful dogs to help stabilize their behavior;
3. Provide lifetime sanctuary to those dogs we rescue who do not find adoptive homes, or who are unadoptable because of behavioral issues. 

 

           


Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo, the founder of Tara's Babies, is a recognized Buddhist teacher, whose compassion towards all beings is always evident.

 

 

Smokey the Dog comes home ...

Our newest resident, Smokey's tale has attracted world-wide media attention. Smokey is the 5-year-old black-and-tan Rotweiler/Collie mix who was beaten with a baseball bat and run over with a car by a Fairborn OH couple who claimed Smokey was agressive. Smokey recovered from his severe injuries, but was scheduled for euthanasia. Facebook sites and petitions were started online to save Smokey's life, the euthanasia order was rescinded and donations were made to build Smokey a new home at Tara's Babies. He flew to Arizona with Kunzang Drolma on December 15.
