Story
Tauro is doing very well in his foster home! His foster mom says: "If you're looking for a dog to give you as much affection as you could want, look no further! Tauro is hands down the most loving dog we've ever met. We have zero complaints about Tauro; he gives kisses constantly, is a professional cuddler, walks well on a leash, and has a huge personality. This boy is funny and after over 200 days in the shelter he deserves someone who will happily accept the love he has to give. He gets 2 types of seizure medications and takes them with food wonderfully, no pill pocket or convincing needed. Don't let his well managed condition prevent him from having a home."This smile and personality is an overall win! Tauro is on seizure medication that has been well managed while here at the shelter, and in foster. He'll be an excellent companion. Apply today!

Story
Meet Phoenix, he is beautiful 3 year old house hippo that doesn't mind dressing up in Rubber Ducky pajamas. Phoenix recently lost his home, no fault of his own however this has left him interviewing new humans. He is house trained, crate trained, good with kids and other dogs. He will walk on a leash but is strong in the beginning pulling, but eventually settles in. He does fine being left for 8 hours while his foster mom works and keeps his crate clean. He is too interested in cats, so we are looking for a home with no cats or small animals. Because of his blocky headed breed, we will require you to own your home, no rentals as we don't want him to wind up homeless again. Phoenix's $300 adoption fee includes his neuter, vaccines, heartworm test and prevention, flea/tick prevention, and microchip registration.

Story
Dot "Luna" was initially adopted as a puppy and was recently returned at 6 years old due to divorce. She is completely overwhelmed at the shelter but she has lived with children, another dog in a temporary situation, but would need a lower energy dog, and is reported to be potty trained and rides well in a car.What a difference a week and all the staff at TAPS giving Dot "Luna" lots of TLC. She is still timid but gets excited to see staff now compared to not even being able to look her in the eyes before. Luna is an almost 6 year old Terrier mix. She will need a patient family that will continue to help her with socialization. She loves treats and belly rubs. She is smart knows basic commands and beg. She is dog and kid friendly, potty trained but will need help adjusting to anew home, walks well on leash, and rides well in the car. If you think you are the right fit and can commit to her forever, then apply
