Story
Nina is a red nose pit and full of energy. She loves to play with balls, bones, sticks and will bring them back to chase again. She is good with kids, cats, and other dogs, just watch out she will try to licking you to death if allowed. She is very good natured and loves to run and play. She has been create trained and comes with her kennel along with food bowl, and 3 gallon water bowl. I hate to let her go but due to circumstances I have no choice other then to find her a good home so she can be happy and get the attention she deserves. I'm coming to a point that if I can not find her a home by the 25th of May, I will have no choice but to take her to a shelter which is something I really do not want to do. Nina is a very loving and full of energy but also a good girl.

This is Ace. He’s about 4 years old. Loves to cuddle and is very energetic. He’s good around kids and people. He’s good around female dogs. Male dogs, not so much as he try's to establish dominance which is one reason I’m trying to find a good home for him.

Nova had had a hard life with being moved around A LOT! He is wonderful with kids and other animals, Nova will even let our cats beat him up all he wants to do is play & love. Nova has been with us about 7 months because of my wife's increase in seizures it's becoming where its too much to take him for walks and the things a good dog owner can do for him. This guy just wants to be your best friend. His commands are sit, Lay Down, Paw, Go Back & Outside. He loves hanging out in the snow when he can and loves to join the family anytime we are outside. I have a non verbal down syndrome son who nova gets along with greatly they are honestly best friends and i feel horrible t have to make this choice. It's just too much too handle anymore with other medial issues going on. Help find this guy forever home and some BEST Friends!!

Story
Dug came to us about a month ago. He was on the list to be euthanized (overcrowded shelter). We worked with a rescue that transports dogs at kill shelters to bring him from Cali to our home, just outside of STL. He was a bit anxious at first, but became attached to my hip in less than a day. My husband and I slowly introduced him to our other pets (2 dogs and 2 cats) and the intros with the dogs went well, but we found overtime that Dug was a little too interested in the cats. So, we made the very heartbreaking decision to find him a new home where he could be comfortable. Dug struggles being alone at first, needs to be monitored in a yard with a fence less than 5 feet tall, and would need to avoid a home with cats. Dug is an extremely loving and silly little guy. He is great on a leash, seems to pick up quickly to training, and gets along with other dogs. If you choose Dug, you are choosing a friend for life. From Dug: My name is Dug. I have just met you, and I love you.

Story
Thanks to Melissa Carlton State Farm Agent, Gerald's adoption fee is waived! With supporters like Melissa, all dogs have second chances and their futures look bright. Meet our sweet boy Gerald, or Jerry as we affectionately call him that! This happy-go-lucky senior was found wandering as a stray in our East St. Louis Community. He was in poor physical condition so we whisked him into our sheltering program for some much needed TLC. As he began to trust and make friends with staff we noted that Gerald would frequently dribble urine (also called incontinence). Our veterinary team performed a work-up and on x-ray discovered an old spinal injury affecting his lower spine, (which is the likely culprit of his incontinence). Unfortunately, Gerald's bathroom difficulties can only be managed, (not cured). Gerald is taking medication to strengthen his bladder and with some home-care tips and tricks we are hoping this young-at-heart senior might get a second chance for a few more years. Here at Gateway Pet Guardians we believe that every homeless pet deserves a second chance, (even the older models)- if you feel the same way ,we invite you to consider adopting sweet old man Gerald! If you're interested in meeting Gerald, please visit our website to learn about our adoption process and to fill out an application, www.gatewaypets.org/adopt Let Melissa Carlton State Farm show you what it's like when an insurance agent has your back! www.mcgotyourback.com #MCgotyourback #adoptthegateway All of our dogs and cats will be micro-chipped, spayed or neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations at the time of adoption.
