Taro�s Friends came into existence when the volcano erupted violently in 1991.
People were evacuated from their homes by the government but not permitted to
take their loving animal companions and the animals were left behind; among
these was �Taro,� a dog, was one of those left behind. Nearly dead when he was
found, Taro�s friends nursed him back to health and cared for him for the next
eight years. Today, we are caring for 160 dogs and 40 cats, all of which were
neglected, abandoned or abused by their owners and others. We protect these
animals from being captured and killed by the government animal control
authorities, provide them with adequate shelter, reduce their suffering, and
create comfortable lives for them. Taro�s Friends is supported solely by people
like you, who love and care about animals. Our sanctuary of 15 acres is managed
by only 4 staff due to lack of finances and our ability to properly care for our
animals were severely strained. We need your help to accomplish our mission.
