Shelter FAQs
TAPS-Tazewell Animal Protective Society was founded in 1958 in Pekin Illinois in a building donated by the City of Pekin on River Road. In 1979, rapidly rising river water forced the evacuation of the animals. Once again, the City of Pekin stepped in and donated a building for the animals. Several moves later, and with the help and generosity of many volunteers and community members, TAPS now has a new home at 100 TAPS Lane. Last year we celebrated 50 year of caring for the homeless animals of Central Illinois.
We are located at 100 TAPS Lane, behind Tazewell Machine Works (2015 S. 2nd St.)
Mission Statement
TAPS is a shelter of hope for homeless animals. We provide temporary sanctuary and an opportunity for life by bringing companion animals and loving people together.
Vision Statement
TAPS brings companion animals together through a comprehensive, holistic adoption center complete with community outreach and education, aggressive spay/neuter, rehabilitation and training programs to ensure a loving partnership for life.
Additional adoption info
Please note that we receive multiple inquiries daily. Response time may take up to 72 hours. If you are interested in a dog or cat, please submit a no-commitment application at tapsshelter.com or visit our shelter.
