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.

Story
🐅 Meet Billy Madison! Billy Madison is a 1-year-old, tiger-striped bundle of fun with a goofy streak and a heart full of love! He’s super social with other dogs and loves romping around with his playgroup buddies. With staff, he’s all sweetness and silliness — always ready for a game, a belly rub, or his favorite thing ever: treats! Billy is a proud treat enthusiast and will do just about anything for a tasty snack. He’d thrive with an active family who can match his energy and keep the good times (and treats) coming. If you're looking for a fun-loving companion who brings both laughs and loyalty, Billy Madison is your guy!

Story
Meet Brennan – The Sweetheart with a Tail That Never Stops Wagging 🎾💙 Brennan is a lovable, happy pup with a heart full of affection and a nose for treats! He adores his human caretakers and is always ready for a cuddle, a game, or a snack — preferably all three. Like his brother, Brennan gets along wonderfully with other dogs and brings a calm, friendly presence to any group. He’s playful without being pushy, and he’s happiest when surrounded by love, toys, and tasty rewards. Brennan doesn’t need to be adopted with his brother — he’s got more than enough personality and love to shine on his own. If you’re looking for a sweet, toy-loving companion with a gentle soul, Brennan is ready to steal your heart.
