Online registration for the spay\/neuter clinic set for Feb. 5-15 is now live at saipanhumanesociety.org\/. From the home page, click the button that says \u201cRequest an appointment\u201d and follow the instructions.<\/p>\n

The clinic will be at the Koblerville Community Center. Drop off your pets between 7:30 and 8am and the last pick-up time is at 4pm.<\/p>\n

The visiting veterinarian this time is Dr. Jessica Nelson and licensed veterinary technician Lauren Ruiz.<\/p>\n

The prices for services are as follows: $50 for male cat, $75 for female cat, male\/female dog. Price varies for specialty surgeries (amputation, eye removal, etc.).<\/p>\n

Saipan Humane Society is expecting to service 20-28 patients daily and slots are filling up, so register now.<\/p>\n

SHS executive director Lauren Cabrera said she\u2019s worked with both Nelson and Ruiz and they are \u201cabsolutely wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n

SHS is \u201cexcited to work with and learn from them both,\u201d said Cabrera. \u201cDr. Nelson has been a wonderful supporter of what we are doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cabrera added that the two\u2019s flight will be generously covered by SHS\u2019 partners at Banfield Foundation. \u201cWe will be working in collaboration with Dog Control Program staff and one to two volunteers from Guam Animals In Need, along with our SHS staff\/volunteers, to make this clinic possible,\u201d said Cabrera.<\/p>\n

The clinic is also looking for volunteers. The minimum age is 16 years old. You can choose full or half-day shifts and lend a helping hand in check-ins, recovery, or preparation. The full day schedule is from 7am to 4pm and the half-day schedule is either from 7am to 12pm, or 12pm to 4pm.<\/p>\n

Email info@saipanhumanesociety.org with the subject \u2018VOLUNTEER\u2019. \u201cLet\u2019s work together to create a better future for our furry friends!\u201d said SHS\u2019s social media post.<\/p>\n

SHS said sterilization is the first defense in sustainable animal population control. Sterilizing your pets will improve animal welfare on the island by reducing the number of puppies and kittens born.<\/p>\n

Additionally, it reduces the risk of certain deadly illnesses and cancers such as pyometra (uterine infection) and mammary (breast) cancer. Your pet will also experience a happier life if they are not constantly fighting the urge to go wander and find a mate. They may leave your property less, and be more loyal companions focused on their duties as a pet or guard animal rather than focused on reproducing.<\/p>\n

The last time SHS hosted a spay\/neuter clinic was in August and serviced over 150 pets.<\/p>\n

Visiting vet Dr. Whitney Collins performs surgery on someone\u2019s pet last June at the Saipan Mayor\u2019s Animal Shelter in As Perdido. This Feb. 5-15, a spay\/neuter clinic under the Saipan Humane Society will be held at the Koblerville Community Center.<\/p>\n
