About

Our Mission

Tazewell Animal Protective Society (TAPS) is a shelter of hope for homeless animals. We provide temporary sanctuary and an opportunity for life by bringing companion animals and loving people together.

“People that say money can’t buy happiness, have never paid an adoption fee”

TAPS is a No-Kill animal shelter that gives dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens a home until permanent homes can be found. We are located in Pekin, Illinois, which is just outside of Peoria in the Central Illinois area.

Please consider adopting your next companion from TAPS No-Kill Animal Shelter. We have dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds and colors. If you don’t find a companion animal that is right for your family now, please check back often as we take in new animals almost daily.
