SAIPAN Humane Society is pleased to announce several initiatives aimed at improving animal welfare and healthcare in the CNMI throughout May and beyond.
Visiting Vet Services Available from May 13-22
Banfield Foundation is back! SHS will host their visiting veterinarian Dr. Katie Hayward and veterinary technician Emily Lundstorm from May 13 to 22.
Services offered include:
Sick consultations
General check-ups
Rabies vaccines
Please note: this visit is not spay/neuter focused.
If you would like to spay/neuter your pet, email clinic@saipanhumanesociety.org to be placed on the waitlist. Don’t worry — there are several spay/neuter clinics scheduled for later this year. SHS will reach out to you when the schedule is open.

Effective from May 2025 until the end of the year, SHS will offer the following benefits to dogs adopted from the Mayor’s Dog Shelter:
