My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This dapper man is Mercury. He is a 1 year old brown/tan mixed breed. He was returned to us after just two weeks because he was "untrainable" which everyone in the shelter knows is not true. Mercury has grown from a puppy with little manners into a handsome adolescent dog that is responsive to training. He walks well on a leash, knows sit, touch, and can ring a bell. Mercury does seem to have some neurological issues of unknown origin which causes him to slightly tilt his head at times and run into things from time to time but it doesn't slow him down.

More about this shelter

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.
