Please be safe while you enjoy your favorite summer activities!

Tara's House is based in Silver Spring and Columbia, MD.  We adopt to the entire Metro Washington, DC/Baltimore Area including: DC, Montgomery County, Howard County, Anne Arundel County, Baltimore County, Baltimore City, and the areas of and surrounding Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Reston and Woodbridge, VA.  Additionally, we will adopt to those from the Harrisburg PA Metro Area.

Our monthly adoption events are a great way to meet our adoptable pets and learn about our rescue!  Check our Events page for all the details.
