Testimonials
“Friendly and took good care of my cat. Clinics are awesome resource for low income families helping them afford basic care. Definitely recommend.”
“I adopted a dog from Gateway in August 2022. Gateway was great, they allowed us to do a meet and greet with our other dog at the shelter to make sure everyone got along, Ruby was well taken care of when we got her, she was clean and well behaved. We love our Ruby girl. The volunteers that run the shelter were great about communicating with me on the adoption and have checked in on Ruby since we adopted her.”
“We adopted our wonderful dog from here. Tremendous staff and facilities!”
“Adopted our sweet Chihuahua, Rocky from Gateway & the experience was wonderful. We love our sweet boy & appreciated the help from the wonderful staff.

“Absolutely wonderful shelter! We adopted an adorable small dog from this shelter and they made the process so enjoyable! We also have had two of our female dogs spayed by Gateway. Both experiences were done well without any issues. The price was unbelievably affordable so it shocks me when I see so many irresponsible owners breeding dogs.”
