🐾 FOSTER FRIDAYS: FROM SURVIVING TO THRIVING ❤️

Look at him. Really look at him. 💔➡️❤️

When Mr. Potato Head came into our shelter, was painfully emaciated, his fragile body searching for scraps of food on the dirt beside a vehicle. He was just trying to survive. We can only imagine how hard his little body had been fighting, how many days he had gone without enough to eat, and how uncertain his world must have felt.

Now look at him! 🥹 A brighter face. A stronger body. A happy tongue hanging out, standing tall on green grass, looking like a dog who is finally getting the chance to just be a dog.

THIS is the power of fostering. ❤️

Fostering is more than providing food and shelter. It’s giving a broken-down body time to heal, a frightened heart a chance to feel safe, and a life that was once hanging in the balance the opportunity to blossom. It’s the patience, nourishment, and kindness that help an animal discover that life can be good.

In just 55 days, his story shows us what can happen when someone opens their home and refuses to give up on a life that matters.

Imagine how many more stories could have a happy chapter if more people stepped up to foster. Every foster home creates room for another animal to be saved. Every open door offers hope. Every act of kindness can change a life forever.

🐾 You don’t have to adopt to save a life. You just have to be willing to foster.

Be someone’s second chance. Become a GAIN foster today. ❤️

📣 FUR BALL UPDATE: NEW DATE! 🐾

Due to Typhoon Champi, we’ve made the decision to postpone GAIN’s annual Fur Ball, Motown & Mutts.

📅 Friday, March 5, 2027
📍 Hyatt Regency Guam

While we’ll have to wait a little longer to find our groove, this gives us more time to raise funds for Guam’s animals and make Fur Ball an even bigger celebration! 🎶💛

We’re looking forward to a night of live music, dancing, delicious food, raffle prizes, and puppy cuddles—all in support of the animals at Guam Animals In Need.

✨ Interested in becoming a Fur Ball sponsor? Let us know, and we’ll send you our sponsorship packet! Your support helps make the event possible and makes a difference for the animals in our care.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Mark your calendars and get ready to groove with us in March! 🐾

🐾 GUAM, YOU SHOWED UP BIG TIME! ❤️

A HUGE thank you to our amazing volunteer Elena for organizing and running a supply drive at the Andersen Commissary! 🛒🐶🐱

Thank you to the Andersen Commissary for welcoming us, and to every single patron who opened their heart (and shopping cart!) to purchase much-needed supplies for our shelter animals!

We are absolutely OVERWHELMED by your generosity! 🥹❤️ There were SO many donations that it took MULTIPLE TRIPS to get everything back to the shelter!

Want to help make a difference? 🐾

We would LOVE to organize more supply drives! Whether you’re interested in volunteering to run a drive or you’re a business willing to welcome our volunteers to collect donations, we’d love to hear from you!

📧 Contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Jessica, at [email protected]

From all of us at GAIN, THANK YOU for showing up for Guam’s animals! ❤️🐾

🚨 NEED TO SURRENDER AN ANIMAL? PLEASE PLAN AHEAD!

🐾 Found an animal before or after Typhoon Champi?
🏠 Moving soon or leaving Guam without a plan for your pets?
🐶 Have an animal you can no longer care for?

PLEASE SCHEDULE A DROP-OFF APPOINTMENT NOW!

💔 WE ARE COMPLETELY FULL!

We have just 54 kennels and nearly 100 animals already scheduled to come in before the end of October! We are now booking appointments into NOVEMBER.

We simply CANNOT accommodate last-minute or same-day drop-offs. If you think you may need to surrender an animal, PLEASE DO NOT WAIT!

❤️ HOW CAN YOU HELP?

📅 Plan ahead! Schedule your surrender appointment as early as possible.
📱 Post online! Share animals needing homes in local Facebook groups and community pages.
🏡 Try rehoming! Ask friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors before turning to the shelter.
✈️ Moving? Start planning for your pets MONTHS in advance, not days!
🐾 Found a stray? Check for a microchip and post found-animal notices to help reunite them with their family.
✂️ SPAY & NEUTER! Help prevent more unwanted litters.

We WANT to help, but we cannot create space that doesn't exist. Every kennel is full, and hundreds more animals need help.

🙏 Please plan ahead, rehome responsibly, and help us help them!

🚨 STORM INCOMING! WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🐾🌧️

A storm is headed our way, and our priority is making sure every animal at GAIN is SAFE!

🏠 WE URGENTLY NEED STORM FOSTERS!

We are working to clear the shelter and get as many puppies, kittens, dogs, and cats into safe, loving homes before the storm arrives.

Even if you can only foster for a few days, YOU CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE! We provide the supplies — you provide a safe place to ride out the storm. ❤️

Please join our foster team team for more information: www.guamanimals.org/fostering

⚠️ SCHEDULED ANIMAL DROP-OFFS

For the safety of our animals, staff, and community, we are postponing all scheduled shelter drop-offs until conditions are safe.

If you have an upcoming drop-off appointment, please plan to keep your animal with you for now. As soon as we receive the all-clear to reopen, we will work to get everyone rescheduled.

We know this may be inconvenient, and we appreciate your patience as we prioritize everyone's safety.

💛 FOSTER. ADOPT. HELP US KEEP THEM SAFE.

Please share this post so we can get as many animals to safety as possible before the storm! 🐾
