Description TAPS is an independent, local, non-profit organization working to serve homeless dogs and cats. We provide life-changing services for homeless pets that come to our shelter every day. Animals arrive in need of medical care, training, foster care, and in need of loving homes. We hope you’ll consider adoption but if you are not in a position to adopt, we hope you’ll consider a donation to support our mission.

I adopted my boy 4 years ago. He's an 18 lb corgi/pomeranian mix. When I take him places people always comment that he's the most beautiful dog they've ever seen. He's very and furry and his coat shines. He has a curly tail with long, long hair. That hair flows back and forth when he wags his tail. So I'm sure he was the kind of dog every little kid looked at and would go cuckoo over when he was available for adoption. The staff at Taps put me through the ringer and told me every terrible thing that he could do, would do. They told me how much effort I was going to have , as brushing him daily and walking twice a day. They really grilled me and I'm glad they did. I'm sure it would have been very easy for. TAPS to find him home but they wanted to make sure he was going to go to somebody who would care for him despite all the effort. And let me tell you, he's so worth it. I get more than I give. My boy and I are perfectly suited to one another. They did a marvelous job of matching the two of us and we both feel like we hit the adoption but jackpot.

They do great work on a tight budget. Monies donated to TAPS isn't wasted. We adopted our first dog from there in 2012. We just got our second one yesterday (5/7).

We adopted a puppy from there in 2019. Their application process is a lot but it’s worth it. They want to make sure you get the right dog for your household. There are so many people who jump into adopting with out doing research just to find out they are in over their head. We’ve also contemplated adopting again. We contacted the shelter and the staff was so nice and understanding. We ended up changing our minds and just keeping the animals we had. They kept me informed about the puppy I was inquiring about he ended up getting adopted to a loving home. I found this out from the staff because they were wonderful with communication. I highly recommend adopting from them. Just be patient and lead with your best foot forward. You can’t imagine what they deal with on a day to day basis. Here is our beautiful dog Asher adopted in 2019. He was found with his brothers, sister and mom in a dumpster. That’s what this shelter sees everyday.

My mom applied and was immediately approved to adopt a senior dog from this shelter. We requested to speak with the foster just to get a better understanding of the dog before we would come get her. Repeated messages to the shelter finally got us an answer that the foster was not responding to messages or returning calls and to please be patient. We are now being completely ignored by the shelter whilst the dog is still listed as available for adoption. We will go elsewhere. Our experience here was less than positive.

Lost my cat of 17 a year and a half ago. I really miss having one and the grieving process has finally subsided. They tell me they have 58+ kittens. I'm excited! I try to adopt one, maybe two. I go through their adoption process. Because we live in a mother-in-law's suite on our son's land. They said they have to call him to see if it's ok with him to bring a cat in the house. This is our house, not his. This is the most ignorant thing I've ever heard. They really want to find homes for these babies, don't they?
