Pit Bull Terrier and Chocolate Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in East St. Louis, Illinois

Meet baby boy Hickory. He is new to GPG and looking for a family to call his own.

Part of the fun of adopting a puppy from an animal rescue is the surprise that comes along with their growth. Their size at adulthood is simply a guess and cannot be guaranteed. When you adopt a puppy from GPG, we trust that you will love and care for this animal regardless of their actual adult size and physical appearance.

If you are interested in a meet and greet for adoption for Hickory, please fill out an application on our website at www.gatewaypets.org/adopt. If you are interested in learning more about Hickory or the adoption process at GPG, please email placement@gatewaypets.org

All of our dogs and cats will be micro-chipped, spayed or neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations at the time of adoption.
