Story
Meet Irma! 🐶💕
Irma is a darling little senior with a gentle soul and a love for the simple things in life—sunbathing, soft beds, tasty treats, and the company of other calm pups.
She came to us with some slough of medical issues that are common in older, small-breed dogs. She has a heart murmur (likely due to age-related heart disease), arthritis in her hips and knees, and chronic dental disease. On top of this, she also has been found to have breast cancer. Due to her age and overall condition, our vet has decided that surgery or extensive treatment would not be in her best interest—including spaying, which would require anesthesia. Despite all of this, Irma has improved in her foster home with medications and still has a good quality of life—she’s comfortable, happy, and enjoys her days.
Because of her age and medical needs, Irma is being adopted as-is, and GPG will not be covering future medical expenses. We're looking for a compassionate adopter who will give her the love and peace she deserves for however long she has left.
Irma may be a senior, but her heart is full of love—and she’s ready to spend her golden days as your loyal little shadow.
If you're ready to give a sweet soul a soft landing, Irma is ready to meet you.
If you are interested in a meet and greet for adoption for Irma, please fill out an application on our website at www.gatewaypets.org/adopt. If you are interested in learning more about Irma 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. For more photos of Irma, follow us on Facebook Gateway Pet Guardians and Instagram @gatewaypets ... #gpgIrma.

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.
