About this shelter

Tara's Exotic Rescue in Boise, ID

Tara's Exotic Rescue is an in-home exotic animal rescue located in Boise, Idaho, in Ada County, roughly 3 miles east of Boise, where 14 other animal shelters and rescues also operate. The rescue takes in chinchillas, degus, rats, mice, hedgehogs, sugar gliders, and parrots on an as-needed basis, having grown out of earlier work in cat rescue and wildlife rescue with AIDA (Animals in Distress). Every animal is health-checked and socialized before adoption, and those who are sick or elderly are cared for for the rest of their lives rather than being rehomed. The founder works alongside a vet tech named Kay and welcomes surrenders of exotic pets as well as injured or orphaned animals in need of help.
