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.

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 highly recommend for people to adopt rather than shop and to take your time when wanting to adopt a pet. And when you are ready to get a new pet I highly recommend the OSPCA

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.

Don't want to give it all away but there are goats, pigs, ducks, chickens, geese, sheep, and cats. The animals change with each rescue they get. 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.
