Whole foods here in summit county stopped carrying taurine and forget about trying to find chicken hearts out here... I was wondering if I can use beef hearts instead?

Absolutely you can use any heart from any animal. You can also buy various heart treats. Someone can give you the ratio (dry:wet)--over my skill level :)

WIll they take special orders? I special order my chicken hearts from the local whole foods, so they should be able to do it for you.

I discovered this week all the guys working the butcher's counter at whole foods know who I am from my ordering. They've even noticed the times that I shop and have started leaving out chicken backs for me so they can pack it quickly when I show up.

Whole Foods may also be Whole Paycheck, but their customer service department is really good.

I get my chicken hearts from No Frills. Though I don't buy them regularly (the more feral members of our household regard them as a delicacy), they always do seem to have them. If you have a butcher nearby, they may be able to supply you as well.
