My story

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

Tauro is a dog who finds joy in simple things. While dogs like him might not always stand out, it's important to recognize how remarkable he truly is. Despite bearing physical scars from his past, Tauro warmly welcomes humans with a smile. He takes his seizure medication without fuss, mixing it with his kibble like a champ. Though his seizures might seem alarming, they merely cause his head to shake a bit. His foster family worries more about them than he does! Tauro carries on with playing, eating, and snuggling until the episode passes. He adores his corgi sister, loves chasing frisbees, and undoubtedly deserves a forever family to shower him with love. Tauro would do best in a home with no cats, and smaller, docile dogs.

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.
