🎉✨ Happy New Year from all of us at Guam Animals in Need ✨🎉

As we welcome the new year, our shelter pets have been busy making some very important resolutions… 🐾💭

👉 Read some of our adoptable dogs’ & cats’ New Year’s resolutions. From finding forever families to mastering leash manners (and maybe screaming a little less at breakfast).

📌 Reminder: We are CLOSED today (New Year’s Day)
We’ll reopen tomorrow during normal hours.

Thank you for supporting our animals, our mission, and our community. Here’s to a year full of love, second chances, and happy tails 🥂🐶🐱

🎆 Fireworks & Pets: Please Keep Them Safe 🐾

Fireworks can be terrifying for dogs and cats. Loud noises, flashes, and vibrations often cause pets to panic, bolt, or injure themselves. Please take extra precautions tonight and into the New Year.

Tips to help your pets stay calm:
• Keep pets indoors and secure before fireworks start
• Close windows and doors; draw curtains or blinds
• Play calming music, TV, or white noise to drown out sounds
• Create a cozy “safe space” with blankets, beds, or crates
• Stay calm yourself—your pet takes cues from you
• Make sure collars and microchips are up to date
• Do not take pets to fireworks displays

🚨 Lost pets increase dramatically after fireworks — keeping them inside saves lives.

📅 Shelter Hours Reminder
We are CLOSED on New Year’s Day
We will reopen Friday

☎️ Emergency Euthanasia Line
Our emergency euthanasia line remains available if urgently needed. Please call if you require assistance (671) 653-4246

🎄 Merry Christmas! 🎄

Our shelter is closed today as we pause to celebrate the holiday and reflect on an incredible year.

Thank you to everyone who supported our animals in 2025 — through fostering, adopting, volunteering, donating, and cheering us on.

From our shelter family to yours, we wish you a joyful, safe, and love-filled Christmas 🐾❤️

✨ Our shelter is EMPTY for the holidays! ✨

This incredible moment is only possible because of our amazing foster team. Since they were willing to open their homes, every adoptable animal from GAIN is spending the holidays in a loving home, even if just temporarily.

For many of these animals, this is their first taste of warmth, comfort, and family, and that gift means everything. 🏡❤️

💡 Still interested in adopting?
All animals are still available for adoption and viewable at:
👉 www.guamanimals.org/adopt

Simply fill out an application and we can arrange a meet & greet or a handoff with their foster family.

📅 Foster pets will return to the shelter by January 2nd.
⏰ Shelter hours update:
• Christmas Eve: Closing early at 12 PM
• Christmas Day: Closed 🎄

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you fosters. You made holiday magic happen. ✨🐾

🎅🐾 All They Want for Christmas Is Food 🐾🎅

Our shelter is full of growing puppies and right now, we are desperate and running out of puppy food.

Puppies require frequent, nutritious meals to grow properly and stay healthy. With intake staying high and food costs continuing to rise, our shelves are emptying faster than we can restock them.

✨ Your gift today helps keep bowls full, bellies fed, and puppies strong
🎄 Every donation, no matter the size, truly makes a difference

💝 How you can help right now:
🐶 Donate wet or dry puppy food
📍 Drop off at our shelter in Yigo
🕘 Open daily 9am–5pm (closed 12pm–1pm)

💻 Prefer to donate online?
👉 https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=DRJSFXU9YJKNL

The holidays should be a time of warmth, care, and comfort. Not hunger.

Thank you for standing with us and helping feed Guam’s most vulnerable puppies. 🐾❤️
