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.

Story
Meet Angel!Angel was found tied to a gas station post by my niece, who couldn’t keep her, so we took her in temporarily. She’s about 1 1/2 years old, up to date on all shots, and spayed. Vet says that she is part husky and pit bull.Angel is high-energy, loves to run, play, and snuggle with us and the kids. She gets along with our small dogs and cat, but she’s a bit too rough for our older pets due to her size and energy.We can’t keep her long-term—my wife is recovering from surgery, and I’m away for work often. Angel would do best as an only dog or with larger dogs and older kids.She’s sweet, loving, and needs a home where she’ll get plenty of attention and exercise. She does have a high prey drive for squirrels and other rodents. If you can give her the forever home she deserves, please reach outAdoption fee is just to recover what we have spent on getting her checked at the vet and for all the vaccinations. I have the records in hand.

Cara Maltese / Yorkie Female, 13lbs DOB 10.21.2022 Spayed/Microchipped UTD on vaccinations Current on flea & heartworm prevention Adoption Donation: $500 (tax deductible) ***Please read the bio in its ENTIRETY. ***If you feel your family is a perfect match, please send a completed application to gateway4paws@gmail.com ***Applications & FAQ regarding adoption can be found on our website. ***Only complete & qualified applications will be contacted for a meeting with our dogs ***We do not allow shipping & do not transport. ***You must live within 350 miles from Maryville, IL & able to come to the area for a meet and greet. About Cara: 🐶 3.5 years old 🎀 Female Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie) 💉 Up-to-date on vaccinations 🏡 House training is about 99.9% 🔗 Secure physical fenced yard is needed 💗 Sweet and learning to enjoy couch cuddles Cara is an exceptional pup. She was surrendered by a breeder but it is now ready for her forever home. She had some human socialization before coming into rescue, so she know humans are not all that bad but she is still a little leary. She will let her foster mom and dad pick her up but she is still a little scared doing so. She is very brave, and will smell your hand & take treats from you. She just needs some time to get used to movement & home noises. She will do best learning from other 4-legged siblings so we would like to see her find a home with some friends of similar size & energy level. She follows her foster siblings around, like in & out the door for potties. Going from room to room & different activities. Cara enjoys looking out the back door and watching the squirrels. Cara is not walking on a harness and leash yet, so this will be a continue work in progress. Therefore, for her safety, a secure physical fenced yard is a must. She loves to run in the yard chasing those squirrels. Never EVER should she be left in the yard alone. If you are looking for a quiet friend, Cara would love to hang out with you! We hope to find her a human friend that is interested in spending the day with Cara watching & observing the wonderful world around her. She is a dog that is finally getting her chance to lounge around & be a dog! Bringing home a new pup is a huge responsibility. It requires lots of patience & time! But it is very rewarding if everyone is invested. Please apply if you meet the requirements & would like to adopt a wonderful new friend. Please don’t apply without speaking to your spouse/partner first.

He came into rescue as his breeder "retired" him. He is friendly and wants to be with a human. He does enjoy running/playing with his foster sisters and brothers of similar size in the secure physical fenced yard. Jimmy does not need to be crated when humans are away and either sleeps in the big bed with his foster mom or in the pet beds with foster pups. Jimmy has not been around small children since being in rescue but we don't see any issues as all children should be pet respective.

If you feel your family is a perfect match, submit an application. Applications & FAQ regarding adoption can be found here on our website.

About Benson: 🐶 8 Months Old 🎀 Male Frenchie 💉 Up-to-date on vaccinations 🏡 House training is about 90% 🔗 Secure physical fenced yard is highly recommend 🐕‍🦺 Does walk on a leash 💗 Full of puppy energy with Frenchie quirks What to say about Benson? If you know anything about frenchies, then you know how entertaining they are. Benson lives up to his breed. He loves to run in his foster moms fenced yard and carry his bones. When it's time to come in, he run and jumps in his very large kennel which is where he sleeps and says when his foster mom is away. We are still working on potty training which does take time and lots of patience. Benson does walk on a harness and leash but really likes to run in the fenced yard. If you have never owned a frenchie, do your research on the breed to ensure it is what you are looking for. Some can have skin issue which is usually the result from the food they are eating but Benson is doing well on his current diet. He has never been around cats that we know and he is not a fan of medium to large dogs. Benson does not know a stranger. Little kiddos and adults unsteady on their feet could be knocked down by Benson when he is running and jumping around. Bringing home a new puppy is a huge responsibility. It requires lots of patience & time! But it is very rewarding if everyone is invested. Please apply if you meet the requirements & everyone in the home is onboard with adopting Benson.
