Arnela Redzic (holding dog toy) and Nicole Gevers take time out from studying to relax and play with Pepperjack outside of UMSL’s Millennium Student Center.

Delta Sigma Pi sponsored the event, and the visiting puppies were rescues from Gateway Pet Guardians, a St Louis pet adoption and rescue service. GPG has more than 50 adoptable dogs and cats at any given time looking for their forever home. Visit gatewaypets.com to learn more about adopting a pet or volunteering.
