| | Aloha volunteers, As we enter the holiday season, we'd like to thank each and every volunteer who dedicated time to help Oahu's animals this year. Volunteers have helped in many capacities including opening their home to foster animals in need, waking up early to help clean at the shelter before we open for Adoptions, assisting with data entry and helping with events such as PetWalk and Santa Paws. However, volunteer help is still needed in many areas including dog walking and dog washing especially during the holiday season. Schedule your next visit to the shelter by logging in to your volunteer account on Volgistics. As a reminder, our Adoption Center will be closed on Thanksgiving day but volunteers will still be able to come spend the holiday with the animals between the hours of 8 am to 2 pm. For more information, visit HawaiianHumane.org. | | | | | | Olivia Yule Olivia has volunteered almost 200 hours with the Hawaiian Humane Society since October 2016. She mostly assists with adoptions in the Cat House at our campus in Moiliili. Olivia recently adopted a cat from us named Tabitha. Thank you, Olivia! | | | | Mahalo PetWalk Volunteers!

It is Oahu's only open-admission shelter that welcomes all animals. Established in 1883, this non-profit organization is not a chapter of any group as there is no national humane society. Gifts made directly to this independent, local organization help local animals and people. Visit HawaiianHumane.org to learn more. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
