Troy Animal Rescue Project

My boyfriend and I adopted our baby Blue from TARP. He is doing so well and we love him to death. Thank you for everything you do for the babies. Much love! ADOPT DON’T SHOP!!

I have not adopted through this rescue but wanted to leave a positive review based on the responses to negative reviews by the rescue. I am so grateful and happy that this rescue does their due diligence when adopting out by checking to see if a potential adopter has returned or abandoned a previous pet, because that is a huge red flag for the adopter. And then a bonus red flag when you leave it out of your application. Pets are a lifetime commitment and if you aren’t ready to deal with difficulties then you shouldn’t have any pets. I also think that taking extra time to do all the background work and making sure the dog is good pet for the potential adopter shows that the rescue is responsible and they rather make sure that the pet goes to a good and responsible home so that they are not abandoned, neglected or returned. Especially due to the crisis that shelters are going through right now I’d like to express my gratitude for doing what feels like an impossible job, to looking out for the innocent pets that have usually been brought into this world due to irresponsible people wanting to make a profit. All while having a full time job.

I’ve adopted a dog from TARP and provide support for other animals when able. I hold Tiffany there in high regard as she thinks of the animals first and foremost, which sometimes hurts peoples feelings. They give above and beyond many’s expectations to provide for abandoned, misplaced animals. Thanks for the job y’all do!!

Thank you for all of the contact and updates on how things are going with the adoption process. It was incredibly helpful. We only had to wait 14 days to still not hear back from you. Given how “smooth” everything went with you we’ve adopted elsewhere and encouraged 3 other families to not deal with your rescue and to look at other options. Wish you the best. If you’re swamped, I get it, but at least maintain some level of contact even if it’s a quick text. Treat your interested parties better, the animals deserve it to ensure they find forever homes. EDIT: My timeline was based off of not seeing any type of denial notification. If it was indeed sent out then they responded faster then I’ve alluded to.

My husband and I adopted a lab mix puppy from TARP back in April of 2020. She is an absolute joy and the happiest girl I’ve ever met. I am SO grateful to TARP for pulling her from a high kill shelter just in the nick of time. Everyone that we encountered at TARP through the adoption process was professional, kind, and helpful. TARP is a wonderful organization and we wouldn’t hesitate to adopt from them again!

On Saturday, I heard a meowing in our parents backyard. Two big dogs, snakes and other animals live in this same backyard so I was shocked to hear a cat. Upon looking I discovered a little kitten. Couldn’t have been more than 7 weeks old. I called every number I could find open on a Saturday and the only response I got was from Tiffany. She told me to text the address and she would try to get a volunteer. Unfortunately it was a Saturday so I know it must have been hard to find one. I spent several hours trying to get the kitten to come to me but it was terrified. I managed to get it used to me and was able to finally get the kitten in a carrier. Tiffany texted me back and sent me an address for drop off. They were the only shelter open on the weekends. I brought the kitten in and came during a cleaning day. The trailer the animals are kept in is definitely filled with cats and dogs but you could tell they were taken care of. Tons of food, fresh liter, and they were all clean. I have to say for a nonprofit shelter that’s runs on volunteers, and donations I am very happy with the service they provided and feel confident these animals are happy. Thanks again! Y’all are doing a wonderful service for these animals. Porsche M

I know from personal experience that this rescue is amazing. I’ve been fortunate enough to see “behind the scenes” by volunteering, fostering, and building relationships with the people who run this rescue. Literally all of their free time is dedicated to the animals. They help every animal they can and ensure each animal goes to a home where they will be well taken care of instead of just adopting out to whoever says they want one. The animals are their very top priority! Each animal they adopt out is vaccinated and spayed/neutered. If you’re looking to adopt, foster, or volunteer, this is the place to go. I will always recommend TARP!

Even the volunteers say that she is famous for not responding to texts and phone calls. They also have doubts she wants to find homes for the animals. It's like she wants to keep them all for herself as she brings in more every time she does let one get adopted. There is plenty of other shelters that are more professionally operated with better conditions for the animals. Avoid this place until the management is changed.
