Hi there, I'm Jericho and I am 8 months old. I am a handsome, black short haired boy, who came to TAPS with my buddy Mercy. We spent a little time in a foster home before we came to the shelter ready for adoption. We are a little timid, but friendly, gentle, and affectionate. We enjoy pets being talked to, dangling toys and rolling balls, a few treats and some cat nip. We do not care for being apart and will cry when separated, so it would be really nice if we could be adopted together. If you think that we could be a good fit for your forever family, please fill out an application and let's meet to get to know each other!!

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.
