LOUIS, CAHOKIA HEIGHTS, WASHINGTON PARK AND FAIRMONT CITY (ZIP CODES 62201- 62207). GPG PARTNERS WITH THE LOCAL ANIMAL CONTROL FACILITY, ST. CLAIR COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES TO INTAKE ANIMALS AS WELL AS INTAKES DIRECTLY FROM INDIVIDUALS. 90% OF THE ANIMALS IN GPG CARE WERE IN FOSTER HOMES IN 2021, WHICH GREATLY EXPANDS GPG'S ANIMAL INTAKE CAPACITY AND PROVIDES A SECURE HOME FOR THE PET WHILE THEY AWAIT ADOPTION. GPG INTAKE HAS DOUBLED IN THE PAST TWO YEARS, WITH INTAKE OF 556 DOGS AND CATS IN 2019 AND 1,139 DOGS AND CATES IN 2021. GPG UTILIZES VOLUNTEERS IN A VARIETY OF POSITIONS TO SAVE FUNDING TO HELP MORE ANIMALS. IN 2021, VOLUNTEERS GAVE 12,500 HOURS OF SERVICE WHICH SAVED THE ORGANIZATION OVER $335,000 IN LABOR EXPENSES.
