Story
Casper is a 12 year old maltese mix that appears to have some level of hearing impairment that is likely age related. He is very sweet but definitely shows his age. An additional obstacle in his journey to happily ever after is that he tested heartworm positive upon intake so will need to undergo heartworm treatment prior to adoption. He would love to have a foster home to help him through this journey. Apply to foster today at www.tapsshelter.orgAdoption Fee: $ 60Estimated Date of Birth: UnknownIntake Reason: Transfer original intake unknownAnimal 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
Hi friends! My name is Washington. Aren't I gorgeous? (I'm not vain it's just true. )I'm an 8-year-old Bichon who weighs 13-pounds. I act like a pup still, but, my teeth all rotted out of my head. Never fear, I still have two teeth left, and I eat normal food. I'm great with kids and other dogs, and even the foster cat. But, goodness I can't resist an open door. My last home, the kiddos loved to play outside. They'd forget and accidentally let me outside when I wasn't supposed to be. I kept getting lost, and they decided I should go somewhere with more security to contain my exploring tendencies. Could you be my new pawrent?? I am potty and crate trained, and I like children! Please apply here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DBSR/Dog His minimum adoption donation amount is $275. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed, heart worm checked, and on flea/tick and heart worm preventatives. We are located in Bloomington, IL We do not ship, you would need to travel to pick up your babies if you live out of state. Your current pets must be up-to-date on core vaccines, spayed/neutered, and on heart worm prevention year round. You must be at least 21-years-old to adopt. Please have your veterinarian and two non-family reference phone numbers ready. The app makes you start all over if you leave the page to look up numbers.
