TAPS No-Kill Animal Shelter

TAPS No-Kill Animal Shelter

A Sanctuary of Hope

Tazewell Animal Protective Society (TAPS) is a dedicated no-kill animal shelter serving the Central Illinois area. Our mission is to provide a temporary sanctuary and a vital opportunity for life by bringing companion animals and loving people together.

Our Mission in Action

Founded to serve homeless dogs and cats, we strive to be a beacon of hope for animals in need. We address a critical community need by offering medical care, rehabilitation, and training to prepare our residents for their transition into permanent, loving homes.

How We Care for Our Animals

TAPS operates as a comprehensive adoption center, relying on both our physical shelter facility and a dedicated network of foster families. Our staff and volunteers work tirelessly to provide a safe, nurturing environment for pets while they wait for their perfect match, protecting those with compromised immune systems and providing a soft landing for animals in transition.

Building Lifelong Partnerships

We believe that adoption is the better option for finding your next companion. Our process is designed to ensure a loving partnership for life, matching the unique needs of our dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens with the right family environment. We are proud to facilitate these connections, creating lasting bonds that enrich both human and animal lives.
