Gateway Pet Guardians Shelter Slumber Pawty 2025

Put on your 'jammies,' the shelter pets are waiting...

Remember the joy of slumber parties when you were younger? Staying up late, munching on junk food, playing silly games, and bonding with friends? Now, picture all of that excitement, but with an added twist—spending time with your favorite shelter pets!

On Saturday, April 5th, 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 over $50,000 for animals in need and we can't wait to do it again with YOU!

About Gateway Pet Guardians

Keeping Pets and People Together. This philosophy guided us to open the largest Pet Resource Center in the region (54,000 square feet) in East St. Louis that includes an affordable veterinary clinic, pet supply retail store and grooming spa. 

Today, Gateway's Pet Resource Center 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.

A Coalition of Animal Shelters

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.
