Tallahassee is a 4 year old sweet girl that found herself with a stroke of bad luck. She spent her first two years as a house dog and then due to her size was chained up outside for the past 2 years in the Florida heat until a Good local Samaritan spent some time in Florida, met her, asked the owners if they could have her and held her until TAPS could get her into our care.
Sadly, upon arrival, she tested heartworm positive so will need to undergo heartworm treatment prior to adoption. She is a sweet and friendly girl who loves to sleep in bed, is dog friendly, and loves people and toys...but she doesn't know her size so a home with toddlers probably would not be the best fit. We can't wait to get this girl back into a home! Adoption Fee: $ 100 Estimated Date of Birth: Unknown Intake Reason: Owner Surrender, chained to tree by neighbors Animal will be altered 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.

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.
