Fragrant was at a Walmart Morton Donation Drive recently for 6 hours and he did so well. He was great with everyone he met especially kids. Here is what the TAPS volunteers who handled him had to say: Good as gold, laid back, loves children, friendly, likes attention, walks well on leash, family pup, well behaved, let me know when had to go potty, loved pets, and cuddler. With this glowing review how can you go wrong? At some point you have to ask yourself is the puppy difficult to photograph or is the photographer challenged? In this case, we had an adorable subject but not so much talent in the other end of the lens. Fragrant is a 4 month old mixed breed male that will be large breed when full sized. Please share his photos and apply at www.tapsshelter.org. Leash Manners: doing well for his age Basic Commands: sit Cat introduction in a controlled environment: good a bit timid with them Good with dogs? doing well in play groups after he watches interaction for a bit. he likes to stalk lay down and pounce when the other dogs run past.

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.
