Story
This pint-sized superstar is a charming little gentleman with soulful eyes, adorable perky ears, and the cutest white-tipped paws you’ve ever seen. Whether he’s striking a pose on his favorite yellow blanket or leaning in for a close-up, Elvis knows how to work the room. But it’s not just good looks — this boy has a bubbly personality to match. He's the happiest little guy and always has a big smile on his face. Elvis is sweet, attentive, and loves being near his people. He’s the kind of dog who will look up at you like you’re the only fan in the crowd. He is playful but polite, and would likely enjoy cozy cuddle sessions just as much as short adventures. Elvis may be small, but his love is larger than life. He’s ready to trade the spotlight for a forever home where he can be your loyal sidekick, best friend, and number one fan. Loves other dogs and kids too. If you haven't seen the news lately (WKYT), Elvis is kind of a local celebrity. Showing up to tell the world about his great pals and temp home here at GAHS. Don't bother asking for an autograph though, as he much rather prefers pets and lovins. Adoption Fee: $200 The adoption fee includes your pet's: - Spay/Neuter - Annual Vaccines - Rabies - Microchipping If you are interested in learning more about or adopting one of our pets, please submit an adoption application here: http://www.gatewayareahumane.com/adopt-form.html NOTE: A completed application is required for all adoptions and prior to any visitations.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.This little cutie is named Rosie.  She is an 18 month old chihuahua mix who is spayed and UTD on her vaccines.Rosie has a sweet disposition and likes being with her human.  She will follow you from room to room and is happiest sitting on your lap.  She is very alert to new noises, people and activity and will let you know about it (she is a little watch dog!)  Rosie is crate trained and sleeps throught the night in her kennel.Rosie has led a quiet/sheltered life, so many things are new to her.  She has learned to walk on a leash at the park while in foster care.  She is learning to ride in a car without shaking. Fast moving children still scare her.  Her foster Mom reports she 'moves like a streak of lightning', so she may not be a good choice for an elderly person.Full disclosure: House training is still a work in progress and she still likes to nibble on things like a puppy.Rosie is looking for a dog savvy family who will patiently work with her.  She has great potential to be a fantastic dog.  Are you up to the challange?  Rosie will love you with her whole heart if you are!!Adoption fee: $250 (to help defray vet expenses)Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 20, 2026, 3:09 pm

Story
Meet Maggie — an 8-year-old Chihuahua mix with a tender heart and a whole lot of love to give. 💕Maggie was owner released and is now hoping to find a patient, understanding forever family. This sweet girl does wonderfully with dogs, cats, and children over the age of 12. She is also house and crate trained, which makes her an easy addition to the right home.Maggie does have some barrier issues. When approached in her kennel, she may snarl — but this is simply her way of saying she feels nervous or overwhelmed in that setting. Outside of the kennel environment, she is a loving and gentle companion. She just needs a home that will give her the time and space to feel safe and build trust at her own pace.Weighing 18 pounds, Maggie is heartworm negative and up to date on vaccinations. She’s ready for a fresh start with someone who sees past her kennel behavior and understands that sometimes the sweetest dogs just need a little patience.If you’re willing to give Maggie the understanding and love she deserves, she’ll reward you with loyal companionship and a heart full of affection. 🐾💖Maggie's Adoption Fee is a NO CHARGE FEE. She is partially sponsored by PAWS IN LYON COUNTYDogs are $115 and puppies are $110 unless otherwise noted. All cats and kittens are $75.00 unless otherwise noted. Our system automatically updates adoptable websites every two hours. Feel free to email or call us with any questions you may have. Our contact number is 270-887-4175. The shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30-4 and is closed daily for lunch from 12:30-1. Adoptions are done on a first come first serve basis for owner releases. Strays have a wait list.

Story
R2 has been my fur baby for over a year now and is a great dog. Just a bit over 5 years old now, he's in need of a new home due to problems in my life piling up. He's friendly and playful and would likely do best in a house where he can get more attention than I can give him. I'm willing to drive up 2 hours from Jackson, KY to drop him off.
