Animal Shelter

G.A.I.N. has an automatically renewable contract with the Government of Guam to run the public animal pound.  The G.A.I.N. Animal Shelter is located in Yigo and is open seven days a week from 9-5 for the public’s convenience.  As part of its contractual agreement with the Guam Department of Agriculture, G.A.I.N. bears 95% of the cost of operating the shelter, about $90,000 per year.  We rely on fund raising and the public’s donations of money and supplies to support this service.

In 2006, the Guam Legislature appropriated $50,000 for GAIN shelter management.  The funds were received in April and we have been able to increase the employee hours.  We have established a shelter director position.

G.A.I.N.is financially responsible for all maintenance, repair and construction at the Shelter.  In April, 2004, G.A.I.N. dedicated a new cat facility, a 1,400 square foot building designed to house cats and provide a central work and storage station for the Shelter.  The total cost of the building was $125,000, of which $100,000 was money which G.A.I.N. volunteers had raised over the years.
