About

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 and cats, and provides food, shelter and medical care. The shelter is owned by The Government of Guam but operated by GAIN under a year-to-year contract.

The agency 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.
