The Guam Department of Agriculture and the SNIP Clinic have launched a spay and neuter program focused on the island’s free-roaming dog and cat populations.
Community animals, which are fed and cared for by multiple households but have no owners, contribute to Guam’s stray animal overpopulation problem.
Under the new program, residents can bring in community animals on a donation basis. Services include spay or neuter surgery, marking the animals so people know they are sterilized, microchip, rabies and dog or cat vaccines.
The 2025 Guam Dog and Cat Population Survey released in August stated that despite more people getting pets spayed or neutered, there were still 8,300 free-roaming dogs on the island.
The survey recommended high-volume sterilization efforts, including the implementation of trap-neuter-return programs.
