Story
Waived fees are sponsored by the Zach Schneider Memorial Fund, created in memory of Zach Schneider, who loved pets and fostered for Gateway Pet Guardians! Wallaby is a resilient and sweet pup who was first found injured but has bounced back and is ready for a loving forever home! He gets along great with other dogs, adores kids, and is fully potty trained. Wallaby is playful, affectionate, and ready to be your loyal companion. If you’re looking for a happy, friendly, and easygoing dog, Wallaby is your perfect match! Sadly, dogs with sleek black coats like Wallaby often get overlooked in shelters—something known as “Black Dog Syndrome.” But anyone who’s met him will tell you he’s anything but ordinary. Wallaby shines with his affectionate personality, gentle spirit, and eagerness to be part of the fun. He loves spending time with people and would thrive in a home where he can finally be someone’s best friend. If you’ve been waiting for a loyal companion who’s both beautiful inside and out, don’t pass Wallaby by. Come meet him and see for yourself why this special pup deserves to stand out! If you are interested in a meet and greet for adoption for Wallaby, please fill out an application on our website at www.gatewaypets.org/adopt. If you are interested in learning more about Wallaby or the adoption process at GPG, please email placement@gatewaypets.org All of our dogs and cats will be microchipped, spayed or neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations at the time of adoption. For more photos of Wallaby, follow us on Facebook Gateway Pet Guardians and Instagram @gatewaypets ... #gpgWallaby.

Story
Be careful what you say around Ranger, cause with these satellite ears, he can hear the faintest whisper from 50 miles away. 🤣 We have nothing but good things to say about this handsome boy, though! At 8 months old, this lively fella is rearing to go and explore the world with his forever family. ❤️ He does wonderfully in the car, is always excited to go to new places, and is especially motivated by treats and toys, making training a lot of fun with this guy! He's eager to learn and is already grasping the ropes of basic commands, such as sit. (He's already graduated with the highest honors from his "How to be Irresistibly Cute" class.) 🎓🐾 Other playful pups bring Ranger joy -- he wouldn't mind another doggy sibling that also appreciates playing hard and snuggling up for naps after! 🐶 Since Ranger is a bigger boy, and has higher energy levels and a preference to roughhouse, an adult-centric/older teens household is recommended for the best handling of this exuberant pup. 🐶 Ranger isn't just a puppy -- he's a lifestyle! 😂 He heard that you're looking for a fun-loving best friend to spend your days with (we told you, he hears everything!) and would like you to know that he's at our Canine Clubhouse, ready to meet you -- so stop by soon during our open hours or submit an online application today! 💌

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
**Courtesy Post** Ramona is about 8-10 years old Weighs 37lbs Husky mix  Fully vetted and hw-   Ramona was severely abused in her past and was emaciated when she came to me. She flinches when you move too fast and is always ready to be hit. She's gotten much better and doesn't jump every time she's touched anymore but we're still working on making her feel more comfortable.    She's the sweetest gal without an aggressive bone in her body. She tries to engage in play but she has 2 severely luxated patella's so she isn't incredibly stable. She takes gabapentin for her knees and that seems to make her feel a whole lot better! She likes other dogs but doesn't like them being rowdy in her face and who could blame her! The most she'll do is bark and walk away. She's learning to enjoy walks bones toys and a comfy place to sleep!    She struggled with digestive issues but after a round of steroids she seems to be doing 100% better! She takes probiotics and one serving of Metamucil per day plus she gets a tablespoons of pumpkin with both meals.    This girl is unbelievably sweet and deserves a calm home where she can continue her progress of being a dog.   To adopt Ramona please send an email to Nickiroy37@gmail.comVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 19, 2025, 3:20 pm

Story
Draco is a handsome 3-year-old Husky mix with striking blue eyes and a goofy personality that always keeps his family smiling. He’s fully potty trained, well-mannered in the house, and can be trusted whether kenneled or left out. With medium energy, Draco doesn’t need long walks due to an old leg injury of being shot. But he still enjoys playtime and being part of the fun. He’s wonderful with kids and other dogs, and he bonds strongly with his people. Draco would do best in a quieter home without lots of visitors. He can be protective of his home at first with new people. If you are interested, complete the  Adoption Application  on our website at  www.NeedyPaws.org  and we will contact you.  Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO. Draco’s adoption fee is $295.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip. We are a 100% foster-based rescue and all of our dogs live in approved foster homes. We are dedicated to finding the best Forever Homes, and will perform home visits and conduct veterinarian and reference checks for each potential adopter.
