Not sure what her role is. (Although she seems to think she is the HHS police.) She seems to have major emotional dysregulation issues and will SNAP at people who are with a foster dog, or addopting a dog, that is sniffing at the three dog display cages in front, "DON'T LET THE DOG MAKE CONTACT WITH THE PUPPY!!!" (These three cages out front seem to be featured dogs they want people to notice?) Well perhaps they should put the cages higher up?? She also asks a lot of personal questions and follows people around the shelter, observing/spying as they view or interact with dogs (passive agressive much?!?!). If HHS was SO concerned about disease transmission, perhaps they should not have cats roaming loose inside the shelter, or FERAL CHICKENS flying and running around all over the shelter and DRINKING from the dog water bowls. After three encounters with this person in April and May, I don't want to go back. It's hard enough to be grieving and I don't need to deal with people who seem to be judging everyone who enters the shelter. I may check out the Ewa location instead. HHS leadership: the bizarre woman at the front needs to get some training on keeping her personal issues at the door when she shows up for work. GEEZ!!!

I saw an online ad for a rummage sale benefiting this place and it excited us all to go. It was a…read morevery mixed visit to say the least. The Hawaii Animal Sanctuary isn't what you'd think; it's mostly a safe zone for feral cats. The smell is immediately noticeable when you get out of the car: feline feces. The hot day we were there just made it worse the longer we stayed. The coolest part of this place is that the property owns a number of World War II era tunnels. They were used for munition and food storage before being decommissioned. Now the sanctuary uses them for large rummage sales to raise money for the property. The tunnels smell old; they're humid and a bit uncomfortable for people bothered by that type of climate. They offer $5 historic tours with a guide at noted times, so be sure to be there early if you're interested. Now for the unpleasant things. We brought our dog along and I felt unwelcome. I was so confused due to the name. Asking about the makeup of the animals they care for (as stated above) it's only cats. After we did our shopping, the dog and I waited outside. It was unbearably hot in the sun. We waited under the tarp area and were quickly met with fire ants biting our feet. Going under the trees, the smell was even worse, and immediately our feet were covered with flies. They were unrelenting. It was then we headed back in to the tunnel - I'd much rather deal with humidity than filth. In come the volunteers. I was reprimanded and rudely talked to on more than one occasion while I was minding my own business. No details are necessary, only they were "yelling" at the wrong person. It really turned me off to wanting to come back or bring others here. I'm unsure about their mission even less so when rudeness is all I experienced; outside of the stench that is.

My wife and I decided to tour the bunker tunnels at the Hawaii Animal Sanctuary in Aikahi on a…read moreSaturday in July at 11:00. First, the parking is very limited and you might have park a block away or so in the residential neighborhood. If you park outside, be aware that there is a very long and very steep driveway that you would have to walk up to get to the bunkers. Be prepared for a long hot tour if you go during the summer like we did. Bring water to hydrate and make sure you use the restroom just before you arrive because there is no public restroom. The fee for the tour is only $5 and $3 for children. Unfortunately our 11:00 tour was very large with about 70 people attending. So, as we enter the bunker we crowd together so we can listen to the tour guide but the air gets warmer because of everyone's body heat so you start perspiring from the start. The tunnels add to the acoustics so that with a large crowd you can hear everyone talking which makes it hard to hear the narration. People started shushing others but that only made them talk softer which really didn't help because their voices still can be heard in the tunnels. They say that the 1:00 tour is the least crowded so that might be the best option if you want to go. After the first half hour we gave up. We were dripping with sweat and frustrated because we couldn't hear the narration so we cut our losses and left. What history we did manage to hear was very interesting so I may return when the weather cools. There is also a thrift shop in the bunker where everything they sell is really cheap. My wife managed to find a few items and it only cost her $5. All proceeds go the the animal shelter so your money goes to a good cause.

This is my honest review of OahuSPCA. Overall, I believe they are a good organization, and I…read moreappreciate that they took in my kittens when I could no longer keep them because my landlord did not allow pets. However, I do have one major concern. Last year, I surrendered my kittens to OahuSPCA and paid $150 per kitten with the understanding that they would be placed into loving, safe, and permanent homes. Earlier this year, I unexpectedly came across one of my former kittens on TikTok. I recognized him immediately and spoke with both the content creator and the current owner. I was told that she adopted him from the Hawaiian Humane Society in Ewa Beach, where he was housed alongside his three siblings. This was extremely upsetting and confusing to learn. I entrusted OahuSPCA with finding secure homes for them, so discovering that all four kittens ended up at the Hawaiian Humane Society left me feeling shocked and disappointed. I truly cared about those kittens and only wanted the best for them. Knowing they were transferred elsewhere, let alone to the Hawaiian Humane Society, after I paid surrender fees and trusted they would be placed directly into homes, has been very difficult for me to process. Don't get me wrong, I still think that OahuSPCA is good, as they are a no-kill shelter, but they need to ensure NOT to place precious cats and dogs in the hands of the Hawaiian Humane Society, because of the history and treatment of unwanted animals, and overcrowding can lead them to put down unwanted and healthy animals, sadly.

We loved meeting Tiny Diamond so much that we also sponsored her adoption fee, hoping she finds her home soon If you can't adopt at the moment, please consider taking a dog out for a day, they will love it!

I like that they have food to feed them (a hand full for requested donation) or else you'd only be looking at animals from a far which is not as fun. It's feed at your own risk (because they supposedly all bite) but I would say it's pretty safe for kids because you're feeding them through a fence. Just watch that they dont stick their arms all the way in, just in case. I would recommend this to all ages and would definitely come back again!

Pat is great at connecting with both people and animals, and his passion for helping them is infectious. I brought the pups to the spay and neuter clinic and was overwhelmed by the activity. However Kat was welcoming and worked quickly to ensure all the visitors were taken care of. Kat and Pat not only dedicate themselves to caring for neglected and abandoned animals, but they work other jobs on the side to afford the costs of food and facilities the animals need. I am really glad I discovered the spay and neuter clinic (hawaii spca) and witnessed the good hearts of the people who run the foundation. They welcome volunteers, donations of anything for dogs, cats and pigs, and potential interested adopters for all the animals in their care.

On Sunday my husband and I took our dog to the Spay and Neuter clinic at Hawaii SPCA in Waianae. Upon our arrival, we noticed the facility looked very run down but with the SPCA being such a well known organization we thought we were in good hands. The staff there were all very friendly and ensured us that our dog was safe with them. We got a text about 10 hours later that our dog was ready to be picked up. When we arrived they brought us our dog in a kennel. He was in and out of consciousness and was laying down so we were unable to view his incision at that time. When we got home we put a cone on him and he slept the rest of the night. When we got up the next morning our dog was awake and we were able to check his incision and we could not believe our eyes. We ended up having to take him to Wahiawa Pet Hospital where the Vet there had to give our dog staples, pain killers, and antibiotics in order to prevent infection. I strongly urge those of you who need to spay or neuter your pets to take your business elsewhere in order to ensure their safety.

We were lucky enough to feed the goats, sheep, and pigs. The birthday girl brought the food so I would ask about that. They don't have plumbing so it's portapotty only. But it was really nice and clean. They have water at a sink and many hand sanitizers around. There is no animal products consumed on site so if you happen to have a party, eat offsite or offer to go bentos. They are working on expanding with a learning center but that seems to be an expense just out of reach. Consider donating while you are there or from the comfort of your own home. There is also a spa experience on site that allows you get a massage in nature. It's on the opposite side of the picnic/tent/birthday area but doesn't start until 12 and we were out of there by then. Overall, a really great experience. We learned about each animal, how they got there, and feed them. The founders really care for animals and it comes out in every volunteer there. Parking is on the side of the road but there is a good amount. The entrance is through the gate on pulama road right before the turn.

The Moili site has helped me and my pups with affordable vaccinations, vet visits, memorable time at the dog park, and helped our family put one of our dogs down. A few months ago, our family dog, whom my parents had for 16 beautiful years, passed. Bella was her name; she brought companionship, greeted you even if you were gone for 5 minutes, encouraged exercise, snuggles, kisses, and an ear that would listen on end; she was family. After our beloved Bella passed, my dad felt a push to just look around the Ho'oppi location. His intention was just to look. He walked to each pavilion. One had pulled at his heartstrings, but he thought it was too soon. When he walked to the next pavilion, she was still lingering in his mind. He went back, talked to her, and she intently listened back. That was it She chose him and my dad adopted her that very day. She was as over one so she was potty trained. She did great on walks and car rides. My parents didn't have to go through that cute feisty baby raptor biting phase. Wags & Whiskers Wednesday! Unknowingly my dad and my mom came on Wags and Whiskers Wednesday. COMPLETELY WAIVED ADOPTION FEES! Every Wednesday for all dogs and cats that are 7 months of age and older.

I have said this before if I wasn't married to my hubby I would have been a cat lady. He is allergic to cats. My kids also love cats and we have paid several times to cat cafes. Visit here and make a donation (not necessary). There is no time limit and you get to play with the cats. I was surprised the last time we visited it was a full house and they had several kittens. It took a while to coax my kids and I out of there. Other adoptable companions: The Humane society not only has cats and dogs. I have seen rabbits, hamsters, and turtles. It's been several months that our new family member has joined our Ohana and she has fit right in. The facility and animals are well taken care of. The process to adopt was effortless. Animals are such a blessing!
