    TAPS is a non-profit organization that is funded by donations and adoptions. All donations are tax deductible and help support the operational expenses of TAPS.

    There are other ways you might help TAPS besides adopting a pet or volunteering to help at the shelter. Consider sending a regular donation to TAPS or remembering TAPS in your will. You'll know you're helping not only the shelter animals, but also the families whose lives are enriched by the addition of a TAPS pet.


    Pet Pantry Donations

    TAPS is trying to get quality food for our cats and dogs and you can help. For every $1.00 you donate to The Pet Pantry for TAPS, they will match it and provide the equal amount to the shelter in dog or cat food. For more information, visit their website and select the Donate link on the home page.


    Can Recycling Program

    Cans can be brought to the home of Rich and Cherie Lee at 206 Hemlock in Pekin and can be left on the north side of the house. Click here to read a recent newspaper article about the Lees.

    You can call 346-0933 for more information.


    Cash for Trash

    Please save your empty inkjet and laser printer cartridges and old cell phones and bring them to TAPS. Cartridges can be placed in a plastic bag to minimize the mess. We are participating in a recycling program and will receive cash for each one we send in. The company even pays for the shipping. This great venture gives a double benefit - we earn money to support the operations at the shelter, and we help the environment in which we all live.



    Through a partnership with Petfinder, Kuranda USA is offering a donation program for its Kuranda Dog Beds to shelters and rescue groups. You can arrange to donate a Kuranda Dog Bed to your favorite TAPS dog for a fraction of the normal retail price by clicking here.

    Our animals love to snuggle up in a warm blanket. You can help by donating yarn to make them. Any type will work. Old, new, thick or thin.

    eScrip Program

    eScrip allows a portion of your shopping proceeds to be donated to a charity of your choice. There are no fees and nothing different to do other than scan the card and a percentage comes to the charity of your choice on a quarterly basis. For more information on how you can help TAPS with this program and to sign up please click here.
