For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
Meet Dahlia! Dahlia was recently returned when her adopter realized the work that goes into raising a busy puppy into a well-mannered dog was a bit much for her. She is only 5 months old and currently weighs 40 pounds so we expect her to be a large-breed dog when she's full-grown. She will take all of the work that goes into raising a puppy: leash manners, basic obedience, proper chewing outlets, potty-training, all of it. The adopter claims she had completed a training program so we're confident she's teachable, but anyone should expect adjustments and transitions as she settles into herself and a new home.

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.
