Peanut Butter was transferred to TAPS from Peoria County Animal Control where he was surrendered, reason unknown. The paperwork reports that he would do well with kids, dogs and cats. Based on his shelter behavior, we would not recommend toddlers. Any adopter will need to be patient as he transitions to his forever home. Peanut Butter is currently in a foster home and thriving. He is a very easy foster. He does great with the other dogs large and small. He has settled in and will roll over for belly rubs. He is potty trained, but did need an adjustment period when first arriving to our home and sometimes has to be coaxed to go outside. He likes to sleep next to his human especially under a blanket. He is so cute when you get come and will do zoomies and lick you. His foster mom is asking that his adoptive home have a fenced in yard, and another dog due to his separation anxiety.
Adoption Fee: $100 Estimated Date of Birth: 2/15/2019 Intake Reason: Return - anxiety and lack of potty training Animal will be spayed and up to date on vaccines, and microchipped prior to adoption. If their kennel card on display at TAPS shelter facility is marked as unaltered, the animal will be altered prior to being released for adoption. Animal stage may change from time to time based on surgery and medical status. TAPS strives to keep kennel cards as up to date as possible with current information but from time to time, information may change and a new kennel card may be pending. Full and current vaccination schedule and medical records along with any behavioral disclosures will be provided at time of adoption.

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.
