Please read Dyson’s bio in its ENTIRETY! If you are interested in adopting, please send an email to gateway4paws@gmail.com for additional information.

We are 100% foster-based rescue, only approved complete applications will be contacted. We do not allow shipping & do not transport. You must live within 350 miles from Maryville, IL and be able to drive for a meet and greet/adoption.

Dyson is a fun little guy that is looking for a family to give him lots of love.
Dyson is learning all the things that come with having a home- blankets, good food, his own yard, plenty of comfortable naps, you know, the good stuff! He does not enjoy rough housing or obnoxious playing; he does seek attention, but he prefers it to be gentle.

Dyson’s foster mom had this to say about him:
“Dyson is a sweet but very shy boy. When comfortable, he comes to sleep in the big bed. He & Milo are very close, & he would benefit having another small dog in the home. It will take time & patience for him to become comfortable (and establish relationships). He takes care of (potty) business outside but does not signal to go out. He loves running the big fenced in backyard. He gets along with all the other dogs.”

Dyson’s forever home will need to be very mindful of his whereabouts. If the adopting family has children, they must be old enough & respectful enough to understand that Dyson must be handled with care.

Dyson is not been leash trained & it will take him time to learn in his new home. Therefore, he will need a SECURE area to do his potty business. While we prefer a physically secure fenced yard, we will consider a nice sturdy x-pen. We even recommend using an x-pen with a secure physical fenced yard until Dyson is more familiar with his new family and you have earned his trust. You MUST understand that a tiny nervous dog is hard to catch in a big yard. The fence will need to be checked for small cracks, a nervous 6lb dog can fit through small spaces & can disappear lickity-split! Again, his safety is of the upmost importance!

Fill out an application if you meet the requirements & are ready to give Dyson the perfect forever home!
