My story

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

Barkarina is a small little thing learning about new people and new animals after living most of her life in a hoarding situation. She found comfort in the dogs she knew but is currently in a foster home trying to learn new people and animals are ok, too. She will need a patient family to work with her on socialization and confidence building; since she has been displaying fearful behaviors in her new environment, we are currently open to homes without young children. She seems to be wet food motivated. She is very sweet and easily won over by food but does prefer to be carried versus walked on a leash.

Leash Manners: all over the place. Likely never leashed and is afraid. She will do better with work, she is still settling in
Basic Commands: none we can tell
Cat introduction in a controlled environment: Sniffed but otherwise no real reaction.
Good with dogs? Not currently. Is decompressing in a foster home w/ dogs of various sizes and is baring teeth and growling at them.
Special Notes: has not offered to bite humans at all, she is just afraid and noise plus new surroundings bother her, but we are saying no young children at this time.

Adoption Fee: $ 200
Estimated Date of Birth: Unknown
Intake Reason: Came from hoarding case
Animal will be altered and up to date on vaccines, and microchipped prior to adoption. If their kennel card on display at TAPS shelter facility is marked as unaltered, the animal will be altered prior to being released for adoption. Animal stage may change from time to time based on surgery and medical status. TAPS strives to keep kennel cards as up to date as possible with current information but from time to time, information may change and a new kennel card may be pending. Full and current vaccination schedule and medical records along with any behavioral disclosures will be provided at time of adoption.

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.
