Neuter Now

Veterinarians on Oahu have received numerous calls from pet owners eager to get their pets spayed or neutered since the Hawaiian Humane Society took back control of the city program last week. "We received the notice by mail, and the next day the phones started ringing," said Dr. Eric Ako, a veterinarian at the Pet Doctor clinic in Kahala. "People are calling, asking, and setting up appointments. We received a lot of calls. I think a lot of people were waiting."

The Neuter Now program, which was restarted Wednesday, allows pet owners to spay and neuter their pets for $50 for male and $75 for female animals. Owners can purchase certificates at the Hawaiian Humane Society or any satellite city hall and redeem them at participating veterinarian clinics, saving hundreds of dollars.
