Meet Kelli aka Twinkle Toes. Kelli is an 8-month-old mixed breed pup who has been through a lot in her short life. She came to TAPS as an infant with her mom and littermates and was adopted for 4 months before being dumped at a partner animal control. The previous adopters did not work with Kelli so she has puppy tendencies in a growing body and has a habit of underestimating her size. With patience, the staff states that she opens up and melts into a complete lovebug so if you can be the family who is willing to wait, play, walk, train, and give her all the love and attention that she deserves.

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.
