TAPS Animal Adoption Center and Shelter 309-353-8277

 

Tazewell Animal Protective Society (TAPS) Animal Adoption Center and Shelter is a no-kill shelter that gives dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens a home until permanent homes can be found. We are located in Pekin, Illinois, which is just outside of Peoria. Please take a few minutes to look around and meet some of the terrific animals we have up for adoption.

For Years the routine killing of healthy dogs and cats just because they are homeless has been an accepted practice. As the no-kill philosophy emerges in America, it is time for the World's wealthiest nation to bring an end to this practice.

Animal lovers have long dreamed of the day when there will be no more homeless pets. Located in the Central Illinois town of Pekin and founded in 1958, TAPS is committed to providing a safe environment for homeless pets until they can be placed into permanent, loving homes. We take in and rehabilitate sick and injured pets that have nowhere else to go, and we provide education to pet owners to ensure happier, healthier lives for companion animals.

 

Please send inquiries about adoption, sponsorship, or surrendering a pet to tapsshelter2@yahoo.com.  When surrendering a pet, you will be asked for a donation to cover expenses incurred while the animal is in TAPS' care.

Please send any comments or recommendations about our website to taps_webmaster@yahoo.com.  Your input is appreciated.

All other inquiries should be sent to admin@tapsshelter.org.
