When Lunchbox first came to the Hawaiian Humane Society in mid-August, it was hard to imagine what he had been through at just four years old. Lunchbox was found in West Oahu with severe skin problems. With a head full of scabs and open wounds and patchy, thin fur all over his body, the veterinary staff moved quick to begin immediate treatment and TLC for the 90-pound dog. Over the course of the next month, Lunchbox had frequent medicated baths and treatments which helped his skin make remarkable improvement. As he continued to improve, the friendly boy bonded with staff and volunteers and received lots of enrichment and learned basic obedience training - he now knows how to "sit" as well as walk nicely on leash! Now available for adoption, Lunchbox is almost an entirely new dog who shows off his curious yet bubbly personality at every chance he gets and can't wait to learn more about the world around him. Every day, animals come through our doors with so many different stories, but it's always our job to do right by them--whether that's locating their current families or helping them get back on their feet and find a new home. Next month's PetBlock Paina is the Hawaiian Humane Society's largest annual community fundraiser that raises critical funds for Oahu's animals. With the support and generosity of community members, all funds raised go back to the Society's more than 30 programs and services, including our in-house veterinary team that helped Lunchbox and continues to help other people and pets islandwide. Consider a donation toward PetBlock Paina today and join us on Sunday, October 13, from 5 to 8 pm, at Victoria Ward Park, when we celebrate all of the efforts of our staff, volunteers and the community who have worked on fundraising for the animals.
