Story
Meet baby boy/girl X. He/she is new to GPG and looking for a family to call his/her own. Part of the fun of adopting a puppy from an animal rescue is the surprise that comes along with their growth. Their size at adulthood is simply a guess and cannot be guaranteed. When you adopt a puppy from GPG, we trust that you will love and care for this animal regardless of their actual adult size and physical appearance. If you are interested in a meet and greet for adoption for X, please fill out an application on our website at www.gatewaypets.org/adopt. If you are interested in learning more about X or the adoption process at GPG, please email placement@gatewaypets.org 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 X, follow us on Facebook Gateway Pet Guardians and Instagram @gatewaypets ... #gpgX. To view other adoptable pets from our shelter, please visit, www.gatewaypets.org/adopt 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.

King is a 10-year-old gentleman with the heart and energy of a much younger pup. Don’t let the number fool you, he’s still got plenty of spunk and a goofy streak that comes out the moment toys or treats appear. He’s incredibly affectionate and loves nothing more than being close to his people, soaking up cuddles like it’s his full-time job. King is easygoing with other dogs and prefers peaceful co-existence rather than rowdy play, making him a great match for a calmer canine household. Sweet,
