Dog Boarding in Pekin
Have you heard of a small city in Tazewell County called, Pekin Illinois? It only has about thirty-three thousand residents, so it’s a very close-knit community. This beautiful city is known for its annual Marigold Festival filled with local artisans and for having lots of good grub. It has that cottage feel, with loads of outdoor activities for you to enjoy. It offers a lot of opportunities to connect with the community and many events to celebrate with your family, friends and fur baby! And if you don’t have a fur baby, Pekin has a lot of doggies looking for a new home.
Tazewell Animal Protective Society is a Non-Profit, No-Kill animal shelter that is filled with all kinds of dogs looking for their best friend. If you already have a little pup and can’t handle any more right now, but love animals so much you have to be around them, try volunteering for Tazewell Animal Protective Society. If you donate just four hours a month, it’s more than enough to these beautiful animals and you get to play with them, and love them. Who wouldn’t want to do that?! With over twenty-three thousand likes on Facebook, TAPS is a popular place in Pekin for doggie rescue, which means they rely on their community a lot for support. The shelter not only provides these animals with a sanctuary to stay until you adopt but also with vaccinations so that you don’t have to worry about anything other than loving your new pup!
