Hello, I'm Miss Bella and I am 14 years old. I am a black and white, green-eyed beauty. My brother and I were surrendered to animal control when our owner passed away...and heartbreak doesn't end there. We got sick from the stress, change, and sadness. My brother did not pull through, so now I am here all alone. I am a sweet, gentle soul who wants nothing more than a soft, quiet place to rest, some good food, pets, and companionship. I am used to a quiet lifestyle so would do best to continue that way. I do eat prescription food for a kidney issue, but other than that just love, and care is all I need. My heart could really use that special someone to help it heal. If you could see that could be you, please follow your heart and fill out an online application to come meet me. Just maybe my new lease on life begins by going home with you.

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.
