Aloha volunteers,         

Last year, the Hawaiian Humane Society rescued over 300 dogs and several rabbits from inhumane living conditions. Our volunteer team and hundreds of community members stepped forward to help care for these animals. As of July all rescued animals have found loving homes, but there are still many more in need of help. 

There are numerous ways to get involved with us to help continue our work in animal welfare. Join the volunteer PetWalk team by creating an online fundraising page here

The Hawaiian Humane Society is an education and advocacy organization that shelters, protects, rescues, reunites and rehomes animals. 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.
