Intake Services
- All animals that need to be dropped off (surrendered) must be scheduled in advance. Please call (671) 653-4246 to schedule your drop off. You can also email us at: info@guamanimals.org or message us on Facebook or Instagram.
 
Emergency Services
- We can accept emergencies at any time. An emergency includes an animal that is acutely injured or actively dying or has bitten/attacked someone. Please call(671) 653-4246 to provide details about your emergency. If your emergency occurs when GAIN is closed, please call (671) 483-1516. Please note that our clinic is equipped for spay/neuter only so we cannot offer extensive veterinary care. But for serious cases we can provide humane euthanasia.
 
Adoption Services
- Adoption and visitation is currently available Monday-Sunday from 1:30pm-4:30pm. Walk ins are welcome, but we encourage visitors to
contact us and schedule an appointment as well.
- Adoption is $125 for all animals and covers their basic vaccines/dewormers/flea-tick treatment during their time at the shelter, a microchip, rabies vaccine, and spay/neuter surgery.
-To adopt, please fill out our adoption questionnaire on our website and submit. (We don't offer paper applications)
 
Foster Services
- We are always on the look out for fosters! We are regularly in need of fosters for our adult dogs and cats, many of who would do very well in a home environment learning how to live within a family and experience the immense love they deserve! We occasionally need fosters for infant animals as well as medical fosters (i.e. recovering after spay/neuter surgery).
- Short term and long term fostering available. Fosters are responsible for promoting animal on social media, within the community, and similar to help get the animal adopted.
- GAIN works hand-in-hand with Boonie Flight Project, who works tirelessly to send boonies (from GAIN and the community) to stateside
adopters and rescues/shelters. Short-term fosters for these puppies and dogs, while waiting for their flight date, are always needed too!
- To foster, email stepanie.d@guamanimals.org
 
Volunteer Services
- GAIN offers volunteer opportunities at the shelter and out in the community.
- At the shelter we are currently accepting volunteers who can spend a couple hours socializing the animals; specifically the adult dogs and cats. Like fostering, this interaction with different people helps the animals become more adoptable and gives them daily love and attention.
- Outside of the shelter, we regularly seek volunteers to assist us with our weekend supply drives that are held at Cost-U-Less and when GAIN hosts different fundraising events (i.e. dog transporters, dog handlers, tabling, and similar)
- Volunteers 14 years and older can volunteer without a parent/guardian but require a parent/guardian signature on the Volunteer Liability
form. 
- To volunteer, email tina.erickson@guamanimals.org 
 
Owner’s Request
- We offer humane euthanasia services for pets that are in their final stages of life.
- Cost is $45 and we do ask that you contact us via phone before coming to the shelter to ensure we have the appropriate staff on hand to provide this service.
- If your pet needs to be humanely euthanized (as an Emergency only) while GAIN is closed please call (671) 483-1516.
 
Microchipping Services
- GAIN offers microchipping, for both dogs and cats, for $10
- Please call (671) 653-4246 to schedule your appointment
