Intake, Shelter, Foster and Adoption Programs: GPG takes in stray and surrendered animals from residents in the East Side Pet District, including East St. Louis, Cahokia Heights, Washington Park and Fairmont City (zip codes 62201-62207).

In 2025, GPG processed 1,836 intakes and achieved a 95% save rate. GPG adopted out 1,233 dogs and cats (691 dogs, 542 cats), a 7% increase over 2024, transferred 244 to partner rescue organizations, and reunited 169 pets with their families (22% increase). The average length of stay at adoption was 35 days. GPG completed 52 at-risk dog adoptions, a 160% increase over the prior year, and provided 308 field trips for shelter dogs. Over 762 active fosters contributed 63,899 foster hours with an average of 202 fosters per month.

Community Program: At GPG, we firmly believe that every family should be able to have the companionship of a pet even if they have financial restrictions. In 2025, GPG expanded its public clinic to 4 days per week and doubled veterinary staff hours. A total of 944 pets received medical treatment, 477 owned pets and community cats were spayed/neutered at no cost to the owner, and 478 cats were processed through the trap-neuter-return program. Additionally, 1,496 pets received free or low-cost life-saving vaccines, 550 received microchips, and 239 dogs received heartworm treatment. GPG's Pet Spa groomed 1,062 pets during the year. The organization conducted 1,437 community outreach visits, averaging 119 per month. GPG also launched a new Finder-to-Foster program and began providing Emotional Support Animal letter assistance. GPG has become a community partner providing services that were previously never provided in East St. Louis and provides them at a price that is affordable and attainable for pet owners in need.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
