Hafa Adai & Welcome!

Guam Animals In Need (GAIN), Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to
the prevention of cruelty to animals, and to the education of the public concerning
matters pertaining to animals and their welfare. The shelter, located in Yigo, has
facilities to house and care for dogs, cats and rabbits, and provides food, shelter and
medical care. The shelter is owned by GovGuam but operated by GAIN under a
year-to-year contract.

The organization works to find permanent, loving homes for Guam’s homeless and abused animals. Sterilization of pets is a main concern and an on-going sterilization program has been created in 2010 in an effort to help control the island’s pet population. Additionally, GAIN volunteers conduct school visits to educate Guam’s youth in responsible pet care.

GAIN would like to show people that pets are a part of the family and we encourage all animal owners to be sure their pets are part of the family and not tied outside with little or no social contact.

Guam Animals In Need is gearing up for its first ever Dogtoberfest! Set to take place on Sunday, Oct. 9. According to Carol Laughlin, G.A.I.N. Vice President, Dogtoberfest will be a fun-filled day celebrating Responsible Dog Ownership, complete with food, games, presentations, exciting demonstrations, and contests for pets and their owners both young and old.
