Search for GIFs and animated stickers on Tenor and Giphy from Alfred.
Here's an example of searching and inserting a GIF in a google doc:
Animated stickers are also GIFs, but they typically tend to have
a transparent background. Here's an example of how animated stickers look like:

Note
Firefox and Chrome don't support pasting GIFs from clipboard. That is, if you copy a GIF to clipboard and paste it, it shows up as a static image, not an animated GIF. This is not a bug in this workflow, but rather just the way these browsers have decided to handle GIFs.
Both Chrome and Firefox support drag-n-drop. If you use either of these browsers, sorry, you gotta use the mouse!
