Red Foreman here! He was left in the outdoor kennel of PCAPS one night. While he is still working on his leash manners, he is a pretty well mannered boy. We haven`t seen him with cats or kids yet. He loves ALL staff members. He has done well with the dogs he`s met here but no playgroups for him as he recovers from a hematoma.

Story
Sweet Nyla has clearly had a rough life prior to making her way to TAPS Pekin, IL. She appears to have had multiple litters of puppies, and a lack of basic care. Despite her condition, this hasn’t stopped this sweet girl from seeking out love and affection. She LOVES belly rubs and is the most smiley girl you`ll ever see! This girl SO deserves to have a better life and family to spoil and cherish her. If that sounds like you, go to tapsshelter.org and apply today.

This shy guy is Bashful. He is an 10 month old Pit Bull who lives up to his name. He was picked up as a stray by TCAC before he found his way to us. He is a very nervous pup who needs patience. He is currently in a foster home to help him come out of his shell. He has warmed up in his foster home and does great with his fur brother.

Story
This pretty lady is Marissa! After coming to the shelter with her babies and nursing them to good health, this little momma is ready for some nurturing all her own! She is a 2-year-old pit bull mix who does get a bit of the zoomies while walking. And, she can dance on two feet while waiting for a treat! She is so polite and content while being pet; it seems to melt away her worries. Marissa is so sweet to everyone she meets and barks from excitement when she sees other dogs. She was quite skinny when she got here but with the love and treats of the staff, she has gotten to a healthy weight. If you are interested in Marissa, apply at tapsshelter.org
