My story

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

Tauro is doing very well in his foster home! His foster mom says: "If you're looking for a dog to give you as much affection as you could want, look no further! Tauro is hands down the most loving dog we've ever met. We have zero complaints about Tauro; he gives kisses constantly, is a professional cuddler, walks well on a leash, and has a huge personality. This boy is funny and after over 200 days in the shelter he deserves someone who will happily accept the love he has to give. He gets 2 types of seizure medications and takes them with food wonderfully, no pill pocket or convincing needed. Don't let his well managed condition prevent him from having a home."

This smile and personality is an overall win! Tauro is on seizure medication that has been well managed while here at the shelter, and in foster. He'll be an excellent companion. Apply today!

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.
