Story
If you’re looking for a dog with an endless supply of snuggles AND can keep up with your active lifestyle, Gunther is your guy!Gunther’s favorite things are: being told he’s a good boy, ice cubes, long walks, meal time, and of course - affection from his humans.Our goofy guy would do best in a home without crazy kids running around, we have discovered, hence the reason he needs a new home. He can be high energy and reactive so he would thrive with folks who enjoy daily walks or going to a dog park. Gunther can have stress reactions to high-energy or unexpected and has nipped in those situations. No aggression towards his people, no resource guarding, and absolutely loves other dogs. This decision doesn’t come lightly. We love our Gunther but ultimately know that having him around our increasingly active and unpredictable toddler is not a great fit.He has so much love and life - he deserves a better situation than what we can currently provide. We hope you can be that “fit” for him!

Story
Sweet boy adopted in December. He is sweet, strong, large and playful. Has some training, we started but haven’t been able to keep up with it. Has some anxiety. Due to my schedule I am no longer able to stay home with him and he is in the cage for 8+ hours everyday. He needs space and attention and time that I do not have. Very sweet and snuggly. He does okay in the car. He isn’t great on a leash but manageable. He does best in a calm environment, the more energy in the room, the more anxious he gets. Not aggressive, but does bark at a knock at the door. Wants to play and snuggle someone all to himself.

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.

Story
Brook Cavalier King Charles Spaniel 5yo / DOB 04.01.21 13lbs Spayed / Microchipped UTD on vaccinations Heartworm / Flea Preventative No Heart Issues Adoption Donation: $500 (tax deductible) INSTRUCTIONS for ADOPTION: ***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 completed applications that meet requirements will be reviewed. ***Since we are 100% foster-based rescue, only approved applications will be contacted or scheduled to meet our dogs ***We do not allow shipping & do not transport. ***You must live within 350 miles from Maryville, IL & be able to drive to the foster for a meet & greet which is located in Jefferson City, Missouri. Special consideration & mileage requirements may vary for experienced Cavalier adopters. Brook was turned over to animal contract by someone that says they "found her". Ok, we will go with that but she was underweight, severely matted, and many sores on her body. After being shaved of all her massive knots (one alone weighed 4 lbs), this girl showed she is the sweetest girl and just wants someone to love her. We are uncertain of an actual age for Brook but with the help from several doctors, we estimate her to be about 5 years old. She is fully vetted, healthy and has even been to the cardiologist for an echo with results showing heart clear. If you are not familiar with the cavalier breed, do your research about them. Brook walks on a harness and leash and does fairly well but still needs some basic training. She does not require a fenced yard but if you have one, it must be a physical fence and is must be secure. This means no openings at the bottom half to the ground. Aluminum type fence must have chicken wire or something of the sort to close the spacing as Brook would be able to get through them. She is good with other dogs her size, humans of all ages including respectful little ones, and unsure about cats. Brook is a typical cavalier and wants to be with the humans. She may not know what toys and such are but she will do anything with her humans including sitting on their lap to watch TV. If you think your family may be a good fit for Brook, follow instructions at the beginning of her bio to submit an application.

Pekingese / Poodle DOB 06/22/25 9 Pounds Spayed /Microchipped UTD on vaccinations Adoption Donation: $600.00 (tax deductible) INSTRUCTIONS for ADOPTION: ***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 completed applications that meet requirements will be reviewed. ***Since we are 100% foster-based rescue, only approved applications will be contacted or scheduled to meet our dogs ***We do not allow shipping & do not transport. ***You must live within 350 miles from Maryville, IL & be able to drive to the foster for a meet & greet. Pecan was surrendered by a breeder because she had Microphthalmia in both eyes with Corneal edema in the right eye and Symblepharon in the left eye as well. We know, lots of big words. Microphthalmia is where the eyes are abnormally small. Corneal Edema is a blue, foggy swelling of the cornea from fluid buildup. Symblepharon is the adhesion of the conjunctiva (pink tissue). Pecan does have some sight in her right eye and does very well considering. She did end up having some issue with her left eye so we did have the eye and all the tissue removed. REQUIREMENTS: ***Canine friend of similar size & temperament (under 20lbs) in the home are ok ***No stairs or places she can fall from ***No small/disrespectful children or anyone who is a fall risk ***Secure physical fenced yard or harness leash walk only Pecan does not know her vision is impaired. She runs around just like any other puppy. She enjoys her toys and being with her humans. She will need a playpen for her own safety when she is not being supervised by humans. She is 100% house trained as long as she goes out on a regular basis. She does have a small bladder since she is a puppy. We will not consider homes with small/disrespectful children, anyone using a walker/cane/wheelchair, or any dog bigger than 20 pounds in the home. These are all hazards for Pecan. 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 & would like to adopt a wonderful new friend. Please don’t apply without speaking to your spouse/partner first.
