WAILUKU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Maui Humane Society officials say there are too many cats and dogs and not enough homes.
That’s why they are pushing to spay and neuter as many animals as possible this week.
The organization has teamed up with Greater Good Charities to spay and neuter roughly 1,000 animals in four days – helping Maui put a dent in its overpopulation of animals.
It’s become a constant battle.
More animals are coming into the shelter than are leaving to go to families.
MHS officials have often said they don’t need more kennels, they need more homes.
With limited homes on island, a large-scale spay and neuter clinic in Wailuku offers one solution.
“As we all know, spay neuter is very, very important to reducing pet overpopulation and also benefiting animals’ health, their mental health, their physical health,” said Victoria Ivankic, MHS Director of Marketing & Communications.
