For twenty years, we have been leading the animal welfare industry by investing in people and communities to end the cycle of animal homelessness. By building capacity for animal advocates in our own neighborhood, we increase animal well-being across the East Side Pet District and beyond! We are proudly located in East St. Louis, joining an already robust community of pet lovers. By removing barriers to foster and adoption, and providing an infusion of resources such as affordable, quality veterinary care and pet supplies – we unleash the power of partnership!
On Saturday, April 18th, we would love for you to join us for a one-of-a-kind event: the 24-Hour Shelter Slumber Pawty here at GPG. You won’t want to miss out on this unforgettable experience! With the support of your fellow pawtiers and an adorable shelter pet on your side, you will hit your fundraising goal in no time.
Last year we were able to raise a record breaking $57,000 for animals in need and we can’t wait to do it again with YOU!
Shelter Slumber Pawty is a nationwide collaborative fundraising event between animal shelters that combines sponsor partnerships and peer-to-peer fundraising. The goal is to raise money for shelter expenses, raise awareness for adoptions, and showcase the collaborative spirit between the many shelters.
Rescuing Animals

Healthy Pets
Keeping Pets and People Together. This philosophy guided us to open the largest Pet Resource Center in the region (54,000 square feet) that includes an affordable veterinary clinic, pet supply retail store and grooming spa. For much of our building’s life, it was a school – Miles Davis Elementary.
Prior to our purchase in 2019, it stood vacant in an area with limited pet resources available. Today, it provides a lifesaving operation for animals in need and a reliable destination for community members to care for their pets, including access to a free pet food pantry and free spay/neuter program.
Help make a difference by volunteering.
Moving on up – another record breaking year!
Affordable, quality vet care to keep pets happy and healthy.
Low-cost, professional grooming services now available.
