Organizations Filed Purposes:
The mission of Gateway Pet Guardians is to end homelessness for animals in the Metro East St Louis community through rescue, rehabilitation, adoption, and community outreach.
Intake, Shelter, Foster and Adoption Programs: GPG takes in stray and surrendered animals from residents in the East St. Louis and surrounding communities. These include Alorton, Cahokia, Washington Park and Centreville. These communities' homeless animals make up 25% of the intake into our local municipal shelter. As part of our goal to end homelessness, over 200 foster families were added in 2019 to increase our capacity for care for rescued animals. And over 3000 hours of volunteer help assisted staff in shelter care. 1246 animal movements were also managed by program staff and volunteers. In addition, 500 animals were adopted to their forever families.
Community Program: At GPG, we firmly believe that every family should be able to have the companionship of a pet even if they have financial restrictions. 424 owned pets were spayed/neutered, 517 animals received life-saving vaccines and 464 animals received microchips. In addition 297 community cats were sterilized and 106 animals received emergency vetting during a time of crisis. All of these efforts over the past five years have helped us drastically reduce the number of animals entering our municipal shelter and wandering the streets.
