The non-profit organization Saipan Cares for Animals is looking for more volunteers to help out at their facility in As Gonno. <\/p>\n
SCA director Beth Pliscou said Saipan Cares for Animals is the only facility right now that is helping animals on Saipan. \u201cWe always need volunteers because we are a non-profit organization. Volunteers keep our facility going and we always need donations, especially with dog food,\u201d she said. Saipan Cares for Animals go through 55 lbs of dog food a day. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe have about six regular volunteers that we could count on in our facility, but we still do need a lot of volunteers. We have a lot of animals to take care of during the whole day. And it\u2019s nice to help out during the summer time until school starts,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Saipan Cares for Animals is open regularly for vaccines, tick prevention, and emergencies. They are open Tuesday to Friday from 12pm to 3pm and on Saturdays from 11am to 4pm. <\/p>\n
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the facility now has a long list of spay and neuter applicants. It normally has a veterinarian that volunteers and comes to the island every month \u201cbut it is difficult to travel and have to quarantine for certain days.\u201d <\/p>\n
Pliscou thanked the community for its continued support. For more information. you can check out their Facebook page at Saipan Cares of Animals or you can give them a call at 488-2287. (Chevy Alipio)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
