Bully for The Pet Depot

Local Retailer Supports Annual Bully Event

Ewa Beach was awash in canine cuteness on April 22 as The Pet Depot hosted the preamble to the Aloha Bullylaule‘a with a Meet & Greet, preregistration, and the Bully Stack-Off. A sponsor since the first show 12 years ago, owner Tish Rothwell provided publicity and prizes with the help of Victor and Nutrisource dog foods. Registration by IBKC was only $10 for the family-friendly event, and kids were encouraged to get involved with the training and showing of their pups.

Pet Depot employee Brook Greer won big with her dog Koa, despite it being her first time in the ring: Best Owner/ Handler, Best in Breed, and Best Male were among the accolades bestowed. Bully aficionados and judges attended from Boston, Las Vegas, the Netherlands, Mexico, and Russia. And also Hawaii, of course!

Saving Lives, and Supporting the Community

The Oahu SPCA was founded to save the lives of companion animals across the islands. For more than 13 years, we have improved the lives of homeless, feral, abandoned, and surrendered dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies throughout Hawai’i, becoming much more than the first no-kill animal shelter in the state.

Sterilization saves lives! We provide affordable veterinary services and the lowest cost sterilization available to the public. This eliminates animal overpopulation and abandonment due to the high costs of veterinary care. The number of homeless animals has been reduced by more than

50% since 2010. We also provide community services by rescuing and rehabilitating stray, abandoned, or relinquished pets. We provide adoption services and volunteer opportunities. Our sterilization program helps protect the islands by spaying and neutering animals, dramatically reducing the number of stray animals.

Now, more than ever, is the time to save the lives of cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies and give support to the families who love and care for them. Our Clinic’s services proceeds go to our rescued animals, and you can donate at: oahuspca.org/donate.
