My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Plinky is an ultra sweet senior girl that is significantly hearing impaired, if not completely deaf. Plinky does great with humans and interacts well with dogs as long as no toys or food is around so for this reason, Plinky must be the only dog. She is reported to be potty, trained and rides well in the car. Plinky is very sweet, she loves to relax, and she walks well on a leash. She isn't super interested in play, and would be great for a family who is looking for a calm companion.

More about this shelter

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.
