Gateway Pet Guardians is a 501(c)3 nonprofit animal shelter whose passionate and dedicated staff and volunteers care for animals on the streets of East St. Louis, Illinois and surrounding areas. Our mission is to end homelessness for animals in the Metro East through rescue, rehabilitation, adoption, community outreach and education. Our animals are strays who have been rescued from living on the streets of East St. Louis or who have come from the local animal control facility. Each animal has gone through a rigorous rehabilitation process that involves veterinary care, socialization and training.
