The Suva City Council is hosting a two (2) day “FREE DOG SPAYING & NEUTERING CLINIC” targeting certain residential areas of the City of Suva.
The Council, with support of SPCA, will trial this new proactive community based initiative to improve its service delivery to ratepayers and residents of Suva through a dog control programme that focuses on preventing reproduction of unwanted puppies in high risk areas of Suva.
