Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Thanks to Melissa Carlton State Farm Agent, Gerald's adoption fee is waived! With supporters like Melissa, all dogs have second chances and their futures look bright.
Meet our sweet boy Gerald, or Jerry as we affectionately call him that!
This happy-go-lucky senior was found wandering as a stray in our East St. Louis Community. He was in poor physical condition so we whisked him into our sheltering program for some much needed TLC. As he began to trust and make friends with staff we noted that Gerald would frequently dribble urine (also called incontinence). Our veterinary team performed a work-up and on x-ray discovered an old spinal injury affecting his lower spine, (which is the likely culprit of his incontinence). Unfortunately, Gerald's bathroom difficulties can only be managed, (not cured). Gerald is taking medication to strengthen his bladder and with some home-care tips and tricks we are hoping this young-at-heart senior might get a second chance for a few more years. Here at Gateway Pet Guardians we believe that every homeless pet deserves a second chance, (even the older models)- if you feel the same way ,we invite you to consider adopting sweet old man Gerald!
If you're interested in meeting Gerald, please visit our website to learn about our adoption process and to fill out an application, www.gatewaypets.org/adopt
Let Melissa Carlton State Farm show you what it's like when an insurance agent has your back! www.mcgotyourback.com

All of our dogs and cats will be micro-chipped, spayed or neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations at the time of adoption. For more photos of Gerald, follow us on Facebook Gateway Pet Guardians and Instagram @gatewaypets ... #gpgGerald.

Gateway Pet Guardians is proud to offer a variety of mixed breed dogs available for adoption. However, please keep in mind that we rarely know the genetic background of the animals we rescue and, as such, we cannot guarantee the exact breed combinations found within this dog. However, we do not know his/her actual genetic makeup. Just know that this dog is probably a variety of several different breeds that have combined to create one very amazing and unique animal
