How long does G.A.I.N keep pets? How is G.A.I.N funded? Who do we call to pick up strays in our village? Who do we call to pick up dead animals on our streets? Who do we call if we witness animal cruelty? I can’t find my pet…what do I do? I found a pet…What do I do? What can I do about cats roaming around my neighborhood? Can G.A.I.N. help me find just the right pet for my family? How can I get a job in the Animal Care field? I Can’t Keep My Pet – What Can I Do? Are my donations tax-exempt?

How is G.A.I.N. funded?

G.A.I.N. is supported entirely through donations and its fund-raising programs.  G.A.I.N. operates the public animal shelter at an annual cost of about $90,000.  Thus, donations are critical to the quality of care we can provide there.  In addition to membership fees, G.A.I.N. holds a number of fund raising events throughout the year, notably the Annual Family Dog Show.  In addition, G.A.I.N. publishes a calendar; this year we will publish two, one featuring cats, the other dogs. Various corporations also sponsor dog kennels at the Shelter, for
$250 annually.
