Saipan Humane Society launches Oct. spay/neuter clinic
Stepping up in its efforts to combat pet overpopulation and improve the health of fellow furry residents, the Saipan Humane Society will be holding a spay/neuter clinic scheduled this October.
In a press release, they shared that with the generous backing from the Banfield Foundation and the Mars Ambassador Program, the clinic will run for two separate sessions—Oct. 14-17 and Oct. 22-25, 2024. Pet owners across Saipan are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to protect their pets and contribute to the community’s overall animal health.
Held at the SHS facility in Garapan, the clinic aims to make the procedure accessible to all, regardless of financial constraints. Banfield Foundation is offering financial assistance for those in need.
“No pet should be left behind because of cost concerns,” SHS stated in a press release, urging pet owners to reach out for surgery sponsorships. Scheduling for the event is already open, and you can sign up at www.saipanhumanesociety.org or contact SHS at clinic@saipanhumanesociety.org.
SHS also shared some important guidelines for owners to ensure your pet is prepared for surgery: No food after dinner the night before, but water is allowed. Additionally, SHS does offer medication for anxious pets to make the process smoother. On the day of surgery, dogs should arrive with properly fitted collars, and cats must be secured in carriers or mesh laundry bags.
Following surgery, pet owners will be provided with clear instructions for post-op care. Reducing activity and preventing pets from licking the surgery site are essential, and SHS will have cones available if needed.
The spay and neuter program is aimed to help address the stray overpopulation on Saipan and promoting healthier lives for pets. Slots for the clinic are expected to fill quickly, so early registration is recommended.
“Don’t miss this chance to make a difference for your furry friends and help curb Saipan’s pet overpopulation problem,” said SHS in the press release.

Visiting specialists, along with Saipan Humane Society’s Ruby Ma, provide care to several furry friends during the last spay and neuter clinic.
