The receptionist I spoke with was very condescending and rude. Learn customer service before you start answering a phone at a business.

TAPS is a private, no-kill shelter. As such, they have implemented strict rules regarding…read moreadoption. It starts with completing an application for adoption! A person will be informed if s/he is acceptable as an adoption candidate. Further, that adoption approval is not permanent, there is an end date about four months out or so. Although I understand their desire to screen people, I wish they could develop a less "encountering" method. Further, it believe it would be helpful were some customer service training be initiated. Given the one star ratings, I can only assume the majority of the people's interaction with TAPS is an off-putting experience. That said, they do take good care of the animals. The dog I adopted from TAPS was at their shelter for years and was with a foster family before I adopted her. She's a Staffy at 51.8#'s of well-behaved love. It's obvious TAPS took good physical and mental care of her. And in defense of TAPS' uber-caution, my dog is attractive and could well get adopted by someone who isn't able to manage her.

You will find here at TAPS, amazing affordable fees for adoptable pets, as well as many potential…read morepets to choose from. What you will not find, is transparency or understanding. Upon application approval, I was told my choice dog was not allowed for adoption under ASSUMPTION, no DNA knowledge, no testing, but assumption the breed was that of an aggressive breed (pitbull). My landlord, had approved this dog after questioning as neither of us saw Pitbull Terrier in the mix. Upon asking for DNA testing, I was told this is a post adoption process. When asked if there is no definitive way to tell her breed, when I may visit the dog in question? (Nacho Fries). It is only now, I find out there is a line ahead of me for an animal to come home. Rather than operating in home readiness and preparedness post approval, it is a First Come First Serve basis. Which, for a No Kill Shelter? Seems to be a relatively poor processing style. I would have loved to walk away with this sweet girl, but upon a return call to potentially look at another available dog? The same circumstances. No understanding of when the visit is scheduled if I can leave with my new companion that same day, nothing. I completely find a accumulative 2.5 star rating to this facility to be unremarkably kind.

Several bad experiences with calling them to get help for stray animals, they are very useless when…read moreit comes to the south end of Peoria and the outskirt towns of Peoria county, officer Barrick doesn't bother to do her job. Couldn't even "find" the dead dog on the side of the road even with an exact location, I had to go sit with the animal until she decided she was competent enough to do her job and come to the sight that I had been at waiting. She rather worry about animals that are on their own property minding their own business, quite literally. Next time I have a stray animal or abused animal situation I will be calling elsewhere..Somewhere that actually cares about saving animals.

First I would like to say that PAWS and PCAPS are one in the same…read more PCAPS has to take in all animals. They can't say they are full or they don't have the resources for your the animal you have found. They are doing what they can to return animals to there loving homes. The ones they cant they try hard to find loving homes for. Common miss conception is that there is a time limit on the animals. They do everything they can to find homes for animals. Including trying to work with rescues and doing discount adoptions. Even working with national Fondations to offer low and sometimes no cost adoptions. They are here for the community and are trying to places animals back in loving homes within their community. There are several organizations in the area that feel the need to travel to other states and or even other countries to bring animals here to adopt. When there are plenty of loving animals that need homes here locally. They are ever changing and innovating. They are always looking at ways to better the community and our animal friends within the community.
