Did You Know?

Adopt a Less-Adoptable Pet Week, celebrated in the third week of September, highlights the need to adopt pets

often overlooked due to age, illness, or appearance. Shelters and clinics raise awareness, showing that these

pets are just as loving and deserving of homes. According to petfinder.com, "less adoptable" pets spend around

48 weeks waiting for adoption, compared to the average of 12.5 weeks for others. Do you need a pet? How

about visiting Guam Animals in Need (GAIN) and considering the less-adoptable pets there?
