Margaret Houlihan 4 years old, 23lbs, beagle mix. This girl is a true master of expressions and her eyes tell it all. She is a bit reserved and clearly has a heavy beagle influence in her. She had her nose pressed to the ground taking in every scent she could find. She was good on a leash and enjoyed "sniffari mode" where she was allowed to follow her nose. Margaret had no response when she was cat tested which indicates that she is likely cat friendly. Margaret is a sweet curios lady. She is still settling in and is a bit quiet and on the shy side but those eyes say she has a personality just waiting to burst free as she gains confidence in her surroundings. Sweet Margaret tested positive for heartworms upon intake so will need to undergo heartworm treatment prior to adoption. . Leash Manners: does not pull Basic Commands: none Cat introduction in a controlled environment: no reaction Good with dogs? Eligible for dog intros Special Notes

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.
