Story
Meet Joey, a sweet pup with an incredible story of resilience. Joey and his four siblings arrived at WCAC scared, unsocialized, and in need of a lot of love. To them, people were terrifying, but thanks to the kindness and dedication of the community, Joey has made amazing progress. He’s now a gentle, good-tempered pup who gets along great with dogs, cats, and kids. Joey is ready to begin his next chapter with optimism and a wagging tail! We believe he may be a collie mix. Please note that the listed adoption fee does not include the cost of neutering or bringing him up to date on vaccinations. If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Animal Control at 618-327-9471 or reach out through our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064739284772. Joey is ready for a loving home—could it be yours?

Story
Ming is the kind of dog who turns heads without even trying. Striking, stoic, and impossibly beautiful, she carries herself with a quiet confidence that makes her unforgettable from the moment you meet her. There’s an elegance to Ming — a calm, thoughtful presence that stands out in a world full of chaos. She doesn’t need to bounce off the walls or demand attention to make an impression. Instead, she wins hearts with steady companionship, soulful eyes, and the quiet way she chooses to stay close to the people she trusts. Beneath her composed exterior is a dog who simply wants connection and comfort. Ming seems to understand the value of peace: slow walks, soft places to rest, and the comfort of sharing space with someone she loves. For the person looking for a loyal companion with grace, depth, and undeniable beauty, Ming is truly one of a kind. If you are interested in a meet and greet for adoption for Ming, please fill out an application on our website at www.gatewaypets.org/adopt. If you are interested in learning more about Ming or the adoption process at GPG, please email placement@gatewaypets.org All of our dogs and cats will be microchipped, spayed or neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations at the time of adoption.

Story
Linda is a gentle, one-year-old Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix, weighing in at about 37–40 pounds. This sweet girl has a soft, sensitive soul and a story of resilience that makes her all the more special. She was found in an isolated area in heartbreaking condition—malnourished, covered in fleas and ticks, and struggling with painful skin issues. A kind-hearted gentleman discovered her curled up in a ditch at the end of his gravel drive. He took her in, got her the medical care she desperately needed, and showed her love and kindness until she was ready to find a rescue. Thanks to him, Linda got a second chance at life. Because of her past, Linda is very shy and submissive. It took her about six months in foster care before she felt safe enough to accept gentle pets without cowering. She’s still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place—but she’s making progress every day. One thing Linda does love is other dogs! She lights up when she has a canine friend around and happily follows their lead. She’ll need a home with a playful, confident dog who can help guide her and show her the ropes. Linda is housebroken and thrives in a consistent, calm environment. She’s not yet comfortable walking on a leash and will flatten to the ground when one is put on, so she’ll need a secure, fenced yard where she can safely explore and play. Linda is looking for a patient, compassionate home that will give her the time and understanding she needs to fully come out of her shell. In return, you’ll get to watch a truly special dog continue her journey from surviving to thriving.  If you are interested, complete the  Adoption Application  on our website at  www.NeedyPaws.org  and we will contact you.  Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO. Linda’s adoption fee is $295.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip. We are a 100% foster-based rescue and all of our dogs live in approved foster homes. We are dedicated to finding the best Forever Homes, and will perform home visits and conduct veterinarian and reference checks for each potential adopter.

Story
Some dogs are exciting.Some dogs are adventurous.And then there are dogs like Barnaby… the ones that feel like home. ❤️Barnaby is the kind of boy who would happily spend an entire rainy Sunday curled up beside you on the couch, head resting in your lap like he’s been yours forever. He doesn’t ask for much — just love, soft places to nap, and his people nearby.But don’t let his cuddlebug status fool you… if you grab the leash and ask if he wants to go for a walk, he’s ALL IN. 🐾This sweet soul knows how to sit and lay down on command, is incredibly gentle, and has one of the most sincere, loving personalities we’ve ever met. The way he looks at people feels like he’s trying to understand every word you say.Barnaby isn’t looking for a perfect home.He’s just looking for someone to love with his whole heart.And trust us… he absolutely will. ❤️Thank you for taking the time to look at our precious "pound puppies" If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly at 730-272-1071. We would love to help connect you with your new best friend.
