Story
Monty is currently enjoying his time in a foster home! Monty's foster mom says:Monty is a grumpy old man, but with a lot of love still to give. He gives sweet little kisses but grumbles when I kiss him. He loves burrowing under blankets. He has been a picky eater and since he was so skinny, I'm spoiling him with hamburger and chicken. Part of that may have been his dental issues with abscessed teeth which are now resolved. He is a screamer when you try to do things he doesn't like - putting on his collar or his sweater. Makes me think he has been abused before and screams when he is scared. As he gets more secure in feeling safe, I hope that resolves. He comes when called inside and outside. He is mostly potty trained but has marked since he wasn't neutered. He will have accidents if not taken out every couple hours. Puppy pads help during the day.He deserves someone to show him love for the rest of his days. You wont regret the time you have with him.

Story
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: $100Estimated Date of Birth: 2/15/2019Intake Reason: Return - anxiety and lack of potty trainingAnimal 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.

Story
Gary. We all love Gary. He doesn't seem to know a lot of commands but he has learned "kennel up" during his time at TAPS. He loves going on walks with a toy in his mouth and just enjoying the outdoors watching his surroundings. He loves soft toys, the bigger the better and doesn't not destroy them here at the shelter. He walks well on leash too. He doesn't dart of his kennel and waits to be leashed up. Gary doesn't cuddle in the traditional way but does lean against you with his whole body and head. He's a sweet and proper boy. Gary does get timid very easily and sometimes won't look you in the eye so a home with a lot of activity and visitors or young and active children probably would not be a good fit.

Story
Uncle Bud entered the shelter system when his elderly owner passed away. He is reported to be dog and cat friendly and per the surrender form was using potty pads but while staying with a family member and with another dog, he was marking in the home. He will be neutered prior to adoption so in time, those tendencies may decrease, but also, as he settles into his new home, those tendencies will decrease as well but any adopter should be patient through potty training and the marking transition. Uncle Bud is now in a foster home and he is very easy to care for. He does well with my large and small dogs. He likes to run in our fenced yard. He goes potty outside, but does occasionally mark but not very often. He is left out while I am at work with no issues. He is charming and a sweet little guy. I have seen him do well with kids too.The surrender paperwork indicated that he is friendly with everyone, and despite being a bit nervous, we don't have concerns but his vet records reports that he does have a bite record on file with our local animal control. Though we don't know the circumstances, it was from 3 years ago when a caretaker entered the home and brought their child along. Based on this information, we would suggest no toddlers and keeping Uncle Bud contained when visitors enter the home.
