Gateway Pet Guardians

Pet food pantries and affordable veterinary clinics aim to keep families and pets together, though animal shelter leaders say more support is needed as residents face housing constraints and financial hardship.

As outdoor temperatures soar, a broken air conditioner is causing a crisis at Gateway Pet Guardians. The public is encouraged to adopt, foster or make a donation to help the shelter through this time.

Pet owners in the Metro East have a chance to get their pets spayed and neutered free of charge in an effort to address overcrowding in shelters.
