The Emergency Animal Rescue Service (TEARS) is a non-profit organization and SPCA affiliate which rescues abused and injured animals and provides treatment and placement services for them. It was founded by Terra Cotromano. The current president is Beverly Griffith Lepore. The group provides services 24-hours a day and assists wildlife and livestock in addition to pets.

Cotromano was fired in 2009 amid allegations of mismanagement and animal cruelty at the organization's facility at 226 Glasgow Road just north of Pleasant Grove. A 20-acre animal sanctuary, called "TearsTown", is under development at the site.
