Story
Ben is a 140-pound gentle giant who will turn 9 in August. He is a loving, affectionate, people-oriented dog who thrives on companionship and being part of a family. I adopted him when he was about one year old, and he has spent nearly seven years with my family, growing up alongside two older large-breed dogs, including a Great Dane to whom he was especially attached. Over the past two years, both of his longtime canine companions passed away due to old age. After the loss of his closest companion, his behavior changed, and he began excessive licking and grooming that resulted in an open wound on his right hind leg. The wound has been difficult to heal because he continues to lick the area when unsupervised. Ben is not being rehomed because of aggression or behavioral problems. He would do best in a home with more companionship, attention and ideally other friendly dogs. He will come with his favorite futon mattress and toys. Ben is due for his annual vaccinations and rabies booster.

Applications & FAQ about our adoption process can be found on our website. Are you looking for a sweet little companion to curl up beside you while watching TV or reading a good book? Meet Bo Peep! This adorable 8-pound female Maltipoo would love nothing more than to find a quiet, loving home where she can enjoy spending time with her favorite human. Bo Peep prefers the companionship of an adult and would make a wonderful little sidekick for someone looking for a devoted four-legged friend. She would be perfectly happy as the only dog in the home or sharing her space with one other adult dog of similar size. 🐶 A Little About Bo Peep: Housetraining: 100% housetrained as long as she is taken outside on a regular schedule Leash Walking: Walks fairly well on a leash Other Dogs: Happy as an only dog or with one other adult dog of similar size Children: Her compatibility with small children is unknown. An adult home would be preferred. Grooming: Bo Peep will require professional grooming approximately every 6–8 weeks to keep her coat healthy, clean, and free of mats. Bo Peep would thrive in a home where she can enjoy the company of an adult who appreciates having a little companion nearby. Whether you're relaxing on the couch, reading a book, or enjoying a quiet evening watching television, Bo Peep would be delighted to keep you company. Since Bo does walk on a leash, a fenced yard is NOT required. However, if your home does have a fenced yard, it must be a very secure physical fence with no gaps or openings that would allow this tiny 8-pound girl to escape. If your yard has aluminum or wrought iron fencing, chicken wire or another secure barrier must be installed along the bottom half of the fence to prevent Bo Peep from slipping between the bars. When outside a securely fenced area, Bo Peep must always be on a harness and leash. Her safety is extremely important! If you're looking for a tiny, loving companion who will be happy simply spending time with you, Bo Peep might be exactly who you've been searching for!

Opie Papillon Terrier mix Male, 9lbs DOB 09/26/2024 Neutered/ Microchipped UTD on required vaccines Current on heartworm & flea prevention Please read the bio in its ENTIRETY. If you feel your family is a perfect match, please send an email to gateway4paws@gmail.com for additional information. Only complete & qualified applications will be considered/contacted. We do not allow shipping & do not transport. You must live within 350 miles from Maryville, IL & able to drive to that area for a meet and greet. We are a 100% foster-based rescue. Applications & FAQ about our adoption process can be found on our website. Opie came to rescue after he was surrendered to a local animal shelter. The shelter knew the best thing for him was to get him into a foster-based rescue to benefit his emotional health. Little dogs like Opie can deteriorate quickly in a shelter-type setting. This was definitely the best decision for Opie, and we are so thankful to the shelter for reaching out. Opie's foster mom sent us a very detailed report on the Big Personality that occupies his tiny 9-pound body! "If Opie wants to get to something he will eventually figure out how to get there. ⁃ Table surfer, a new trick he’s started in the last week. He wants what everyone else has, human or dog. Needs to be fed separately or he will eat their food. Do not leave food on a counter or ground unless you intend for him to eat it! ⁃ Escape artist, no dog gate has been able to beat him if his people are on the other side. ⁃ Needs a secure fence for sure, likes to “test” the gates and under fence areas every time he’s outside. We have rabbit fencing below our privacy fence which prevents him from going under, but need to stay vigilant with him outside. Never EVER leave him unattended outside. ⁃ Wants to be right by his people all the time. I think he would not do well left for long stretches of time, especially if he was the only dog. He becomes anxious pretty quickly and will probably start becoming destructive. He hasn’t been left alone much while he is with us other than his kennel at bedtime. When he is separated from people he is usually trying to beat the baby gate, using furniture and also literally scaling the baby gate. He could benefit with having other dogs in the house who wish to interact with him, my old man dog doesn’t “play” and Opie could do well with a playful pet friend. ⁃ 99% potty trained, still marking prior to neuter surgery. No marking or accidents in the house so far after surgery. He does not like to go in his house or kennel and will let you know when he needs to go outside. Keeps his area clean. ⁃ Plays “fetch and destroy” with his squeaky stuffed animal platypus but does not go for the rope toy despite my 10yo-old's best efforts. (probably for the best considering rope toys are a bowel obstruction danger!) ⁃ I think the oversized pet pouch hoodies were created for pups like Opie, who are most content being swaddled and carried around by their people. He loves to be held like a baby over the shoulder so he can see what’s going on and snugglein. ⁃ he will “sing” softly with you if you whistle with him ⁃ He barks when people come in to alert you but stops shortly and doesn’t bark much otherwise. " Opie is walking on a leash and continues to get better at it. He wears a very safe & secure harness when walking. 🏡 What Opie Needs in His Forever Home: 🐾 A family that will extend the time needed for Opie to get used to a new home. 3-3-3 Rule. 🐾 Opportunities for continued training. 🐾 Opie does well with other dogs and enjoys their company. We will pursue a home where he has a constant comanion. 🐾 A family willing to invite Opie to all the activities & include him. He will not do well being excluded. 🐶 If you are ready for a fun & attentive family member, you may be a good fit for Opie! Please follow the instructions listed to apply for adoption.

Story
We’re not sure about Veronica’s backstory, but we know that she’s likely been through a lot. It seems as if someone wasn’t always very nice to her because she shuts down in some situations. But she does want to be right with her person, following closely on their heels. We think Veronica is about 6 years old. She is a gorgeous Australian shepherd with a gentle personality. While she is recovering from heartworm treatment, she still has energy and wants to play.  Veronica is deaf and has limited vision. She’s very smart and has learned several touch commands including “good girl” and “come.” She is learning to walk nicely on a leash and is housebroken. She sleeps nicely in her pen overnight. Veronica would do best in a home with a friendly dog to help give her confidence. She does not like being left alone for very long, so she’d love someone who is home most of the day. She’d love an active person because she loves to explore and go on adventures. She’d prefer a physical, fenced yard to keep her safe. This sweet, beautiful Aussie is being fostered in the St. Louis area.  ##2378212##

Story
Audrey’s story began in an overburdened rural shelter when she and her brother Kane arrived at just sixweeksold — orphaned, emaciated, and so cold they were barely hanging on after their mother was found nearby, struck by a car. Out of a litter of seven, Audrey and Kane were the only survivors. From the very start, she proved she was a fighter with a heart full of resilience. Now ninemonthsold, Audrey has blossomed into a confident, joyful girl who loves life with every ounce of her being. She’s an Australianshepherd and husky mix — smart, playful, and affectionate, with a spirit that shines wherever she goes. Audrey loves other dogs, especially big dogs and thrives in their company. She’s happiest when she’s playing, running, or splashing in the water, and she never turns down a good adventure. Audrey is brave, curious, and full of personality. She’s the kind of dog who wins hearts everywhere she goes and loves being close to her people. She and Kane will not be adopted together, and Audrey is ready for a home of her own — one where she can continue to grow into the amazing dog she’s meant to be. Audrey is being fostered in the St.Louisarea. To apply: https://www.speakrescue.com/pre-adoption-form ##2689461##

Story
Nancy is a young Australian cattle dog who would just love to sit on your lap and be cuddled all day. She’s smart and full of personality with spurts of play time then lots of chill time.  Nancy is about 3 or 4 years old. She is completely house trained and is excellent in her crate. She’s good on a leash and knows several commands including “sit” and “kennel.” She is particularly motivated if treats are involved! Nancy loves other dogs but can get pretty rowdy when she plays. She would be great with a dog buddy as long as the dog is accepting, playful, and not easily offended by silly antics. One of Nancy’s favorite things is to talk to all her favorite toys. Nancy needs a home with a fenced-in yard and would prefer someone who has herding dog experience. Nancy has trouble navigating stairs and needs a home with no steps. No kids under 10 please. Nancy is being fostered in the St. Louis area. Please fill out an application: https://www.speakrescue.com/pre-adoption-form ##1270950##
