🎆🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July from GAIN! 🇺🇸🎆

We’re wishing everyone a safe and fun Independence Day! While fireworks are fun for us, they can be stressful—and even dangerous—for our furry friends. 🐾

Here are some important tips to keep your pets safe tonight:

🔒 Keep pets indoors – Fireworks can frighten animals, causing them to bolt or hide.
🎶 Create a calm space – Use a quiet room with the TV or music on to mask the noise.
🦴 Give them toys or treats to help keep them distracted.
📛 Ensure they have ID – Collars with tags and microchips make reunions possible.
🚪 Secure all doors and gates – Even normally calm pets may try to escape when scared.

🚨 If your pet goes missing:
Contact GAIN at (671) 653-4246 or message us on Facebook/Instagram.

Send us a clear photo and description (name, breed, color, last seen location).

Check with neighbors and post on community lost & found pages.

Visit the shelter to see if your pet has been brought in.

🐶 Looking to add a new family member? We’re OPEN TODAY, and our amazing adoptable pets would love to meet you! Come find your forever friend and give them a loving home this 4th of July. ❤️

🐾 Thank You, Kynd Tattoo! 🐾

We are beyond grateful to our friends at Kynd Tattoo for hosting an incredible animal-themed flash tattoo fundraiser to support Guam Animals in Need! 💉🐶🐱

Thanks to their creativity, compassion, and generosity — and to everyone who came out to get inked in the name of animal welfare — they raised an amazing $1,300 for our shelter! 🙌💛

These much-needed funds will go directly toward replacing and repairing aging equipment that helps us care for the hundreds of animals who rely on us every day.

Supporting local shelters like GAIN means more than just keeping the lights on — it means:
✨ Giving homeless pets a second chance
✨ Providing vital medical care
✨ Offering safe shelter, food, and love
✨ Helping our community reduce overpopulation through spay/neuter programs

We loved seeing all the paws, whiskers, and tails in tattoo form — and even more, we loved seeing the community come together in such a unique and meaningful way.

Thank you, Kynd Tattoo, for your heart and your art. 💕
You’re truly changing lives — one tattoo at a time.

🐶🐱 National ID Your Pet Day is coming up on July 1st! — and it's the perfect reminder to protect the ones who can’t speak for themselves! 💬🐾

At Guam Animals in Need (GAIN), we will be offering microchipping for just $7 on July 1st to help keep your pets safe and sound!

📍 Why microchip your pet?
✔️ Collars and tags can fall off — microchips are permanent.
✔️ Vets and shelters can scan the chip to instantly find your contact info.
✔️ Microchipped pets are FAR more likely to be reunited with their families.
✔️ It takes just a few seconds — and it can save your pet’s life.

Each year, we see countless lost animals come through our doors. The saddest part? Many of them have families who love them — but without ID, we may never know who they belong to. A microchip changes that.

💙 Make sure your pet always has a ticket back home.

Book your $7 microchip appointment at GAIN today!

🐾 FROM SURVIVORS TO THRIVERS 🐾

We have 3 incredibly special animals here who are ready to find the loving homes they truly deserve. All of them came to us from a recent hoarding situation. While we can’t share specific details, and kindly ask that speculation be kept out of the comments, we hope we can shift focus to what we can do: help these amazing animals heal and find forever homes. 💛

✨ Sq**rt – This brave little pup is one of the few survivors of Parvo from her litter. We’ve already found loving homes for two of her siblings, and another, Moonie, is still recovering in foster care and will be available soon. Sq**rt is the sweetest soul — gentle, affectionate, and so eager to love and be loved. She melts into your arms and is desperate for a family to call her own. After everything she’s endured, she truly deserves a safe, cozy home to finally grow up in. 🐶❤️

🐕 Courage – A 2-year-old boonie boy who lives up to his name. Courage is always wagging, always friendly, and always ready to make a new human friend. He’s wonderful on a leash and the kind of dog who makes you feel instantly at ease. He’s been nothing short of a gem at the shelter. 💖

🐾 Dauntless – This 1-year-old shmedium queen (yes, she’s pocket-sized!) has no tail but ALL the personality. Known for her signature “wiggle butt” greeting and endless affection, Dauntless is the kind of dog who brightens even the hardest days. She’s a cuddle champion and a guaranteed mood booster. ☀️🐶

We know their past is heartbreaking—but their future doesn’t have to be. Let’s help rewrite their story together. If you’ve been thinking about adopting, now is the time. 🏡✨

🚨 Important Intake Update 🚨

We are currently experiencing a high demand for animal intakes, with over 100 animals already scheduled to enter the shelter in the coming weeks. As a result, some intake appointments are now being scheduled 2–3 weeks out, especially for adult animals.

❗ We cannot accommodate last-minute surrender requests, especially those made just days before flying off-island. Lately, we've seen a concerning trend of individuals reaching out only 1–2 days before departure, expecting to surrender multiple animals. Unfortunately, we do not have the capacity to accept animals on such short notice.

👉 If you know you are leaving island and cannot take your pets with you, please contact us as early as possible so we can work together to find a solution. You can call us or message us on social media to get on the schedule.

At GAIN, our mission is to save and rehome as many animals as possible. That means we must manage our daily intake numbers carefully to avoid ever having to consider euthanasia due to space.

🐾 Plan ahead. Reach out early. Help us help them.

Call or message us now if you’re planning to surrender an animal in the coming weeks.

🌺 A Huge THANK YOU to Dr. Hinson! 🌺

We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Hinson of World Tails for spending the last two months with us at the SNIP Clinic as our lead spay & neuter veterinarian! 🙌

Dr. Hinson helped sterilize over 600 animals, while also providing veterinary care to our shelter pets. Her passion for animal welfare and dedication to helping communities around the world is truly inspiring. 💙

Dr. Hinson’s nonprofit, World Tails, focuses on providing veterinary care for all species across the globe — and we’re so lucky she chose to bring her talents to our island. Thank you, Dr. Hinson, for being a part of the solution to Guam’s pet overpopulation crisis! 🐾

🐶🐱 June SNIP appointments are still available! Now’s the perfect time to book your pet’s spay or neuter surgery.

✨ Why spay/neuter your pet?
✅ Helps reduce overpopulation & unwanted litters
✅ Lowers risk of certain cancers and infections
✅ Reduces roaming, aggression, and spraying behaviors
✅ Increases lifespan and overall health
✅ Supports a healthier, more humane community

💲 Cost? Just $50 — or $0 if you’re on EBT/SNAP! No catch. Just compassionate care sponsored by donors.

🎉 Happy Tails: Bilbo Baggins Edition! 🐾

From stray pup to jackpot winner — Bilbo Baggins has found his forever family, and we couldn’t be more thrilled! 💛 When Bilbo came to GAIN, he was just a little pup with no place to call home. But with some love, care, and patience, he stole hearts and now gets to live the life every dog deserves.

Thinking about adding a furry friend to your family? 🐶 Here’s why adopting a puppy is a win-win:

✨ Puppies bring joy, laughter, and unconditional love into your life
✨ They grow with your family and become lifelong companions
✨ Teaching and training builds a deep bond between you and your pup
✨ And let’s be real — there’s nothing better than puppy cuddles!

When you adopt a puppy from Guam Animals in Need (GAIN), you're not only giving them a second chance—you’re also getting a healthy start. All our pups come:
✔️ Sterilized
✔️ Up-to-date on core vaccines
✔️ Rabies vaccine when old enough
✔️ Dewormed
✔️ On flea/tick prevention
✔️ Vet examined and ready to go!

📍 Come visit us in Yigo or browse adoptable animals online at www.guamanimals.org. You might just meet your Bilbo Baggins. 🐕❤️
