Maltese Male, 4.5lbs DOB 10/10/25 Neutered/Microchipped UTD on vaccinations Current on heartworm & flea prevention Adoption Donation: $600 (tax deductible) INSTRUCTIONS for ADOPTION: ***Please read the bio in its ENTIRETY. ***If you feel your family is a perfect match, complete an adoption application found here. https://gateway4paws.org/adoption ***All questions should be email to us at gateway4paws@gmail.com. ***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. Meet a tiny gentleman with a big personality!💛 This 4.5-pound male Maltese puppy is as charming as he is fluffy. With his soft white coat, bright curious eyes, and playful spirit, he’s already mastering the art of winning hearts. Vade is currently working on his housetraining skills and making steady progress every day—he just needs a little patience and consistency as he learns. On the bright side, he is walking on a leash and enjoys exploring the world by your side, whether it’s a stroll around the neighborhood or a quick trip outside. This little guy loves attention, cuddles, and playtime, and he’s sure to grow into a loyal companion. With a bit of guidance and lots of love, he’ll be the perfect addition to a home ready for puppy adventures and sweet snuggles. Important things to know about him: As with any dog, he will need a few days to adjust. He is not housetrained and will require consistent, patient training. Since Vade walks on a leash, a fence yard is NOT required. However, if you have a physical fence, it will need to be very secure because of his tiny size. Invisible fencing is not allowed

Story
Meet Pearl 🤍 (aka the crusty queen with opinions 💅) Pearl is 3.5 years old, 6lbs, and came to us back in September with 12 other dogs. She’s officially retired from her past life as a “milk dog” mama — done raising babies and finally ready to live life on her terms now. And trust us… she has terms 😂 This girl has come SUCH a long way with socialization, but she’s still very much an independent lady. If you’re looking for a cuddle bug… Pearl said “respectfully, no.” BUT if you’re looking for a bestie who will absolutely smother you in kisses and demand head scratches and has the cutest little wiggle?? She’s your girl 💕 Her favorite hobbies include: 🎾 Throwing her toys for herself (yes, really) 🛋️ Perching on the back of the couch like a tiny gargoyle 💋 Handing out unsolicited kisses 🕺Wiggling when she hears someone say “Pearly girly” Pearl is crate trained and potty trained, though she may need a little refresher in a new home. She thrives on routine — once she learns it, she sticks to it like a pro. ✨ Requirements for Miss Pearl ✨ 🏡 Must own your home 🌳 Fenced-in yard required 🐶 Prefer to be the only dog OR have a very submissive dog sibling (she’s got a little attitude and not everyone appreciates her spice 🌶️) 💋 Must love kisses 🚫 No cuddling expectations She’s still not a fan of being reached for and may need to be leashed or gently led outside, but with patience and consistency, she does great. She has never showed any aggression to people, she just doesn’t fully grasp she’s safe right away. Pearl isn’t for everyone — but for the right person, she’s hilarious, quirky, and so full of personality. If you love a dog with boundaries and a whole lot of sass, Pearl is waiting for you 🤍 Apply here to meet Miss Pearly: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/LKR/Dog

Story
Meet Clover 🍀 Clover is a 3-year-old, under-10-pound former mill rescue with a gentle heart who is still learning how to feel safe in the world. She is sweet, quiet, and connection-oriented, but she needs the right home to continue building confidence. Clover’s ideal home MUST have: • A secure, physically fenced yard • NO children • Another calm, friendly dog in the home • A family with patience and realistic expectations Important care needs: • Clover must be leashed at all times until she is fully comfortable — even indoors and in fenced yards • Free roaming is frightening for her • She does best with a secure space near her people • She is fully pee-pad trained and keeps her space clean Clover isn’t looking for an active or busy household. She wants a calm home where she can stay close, observe quietly, and build trust at her own pace. Once she feels safe, she bonds deeply and loves being held or resting beside her people. If you have a quiet home, a soft heart, and the patience to let Clover move at her speed, she could be your perfect match. 🍀💚
