Pago Pago, AMERICAN SAMOA — Please don't forget to take advantage of the Healthy Pets, Healthy Island Program being offered with help from Coconut Mutts at the ASG Department of Agriculture Veterinary Clinic! 

October is adult dog month and there are still almost 60 open slots for free dog sterilization surgery. Call the clinic at 699-9445 to register your adult dogs to be spayed and neutered for free. 

Next month, the program continues and offers 100 free cat surgeries. The clinic has 80 slots left. Cats multiply much faster than dogs, so be sure to get yours in before you have too many! 

Dogs for adoption: Candy came in with her puppy. They would love to go to a home together. The puppy is very shy with people, and needs gentle handling and patience. This puppy would be best with adults or older children, as he is so shy right now. Candy is happy and used to people.  She has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and treated for fleas and ticks.
