Gateway 4 Paws - Small Dog Rescue in Illinois
About Us
We are a Non-Profit registered 501(c)3 no kill small breed dog rescue group with fosters in Illinois and Missouri. We were founded in 2012 & to-date we have placed more than 2,000 dogs with their forever families.
We are an all-volunteer, foster based organization with all proceeds going directly to the care of the animals. Our mission is to rescue small breed dogs from breeders, auctions, shelters/animal control, & owner surrenders to rehabilitate and rehome.
All dogs deserve a chance to live, and have a life filled with love. Please visit our adoption page to see if there is a dog that you would like to meet.
