Completely filled out an application for adoption meet and greet. I called, left messages and even texted them. Waited weeks. NO RESPONSE. What a crock. I totally regret completing the form. Do not complete the application form! There is no telling how/if they manage privacy and cyber security! NO KILL Oahu SPCA is VERY responsive and provides all the information they have on any available dogs. I drove out to their clinic tp pick up a foster and there were droves of people waiting to get their pets spayed/neutered as well as adopt. I was happy to donate a ton of supplies to Oahu SPCA because I can see it will go to good use. I am happy to say I helped get the foster adopted! read more

I have read through the reviews and my heart goes out to this organization and bless them for making the right decision. Its not easy to say no but it is on occasion the right thing to do for the soul they've been caring for on their own time and they do know what's best for him or her because of their time with them and the circumstances that landed them there. Granted not everyone is in a place in their life to understand what it takes to do what you do and how you do it... but we must accept a no now and again, we all do... its okay, sometimes we don't see the path, actually most of the time we don't, keeps life annoying, frustrating and interesting! I was involved in rescue before cell phones no less, on the big island taking in abused & broken dogs from veterinarians and the humane society to heal, socialize & foster til a good home was vetted... I did require those adopting to pay the humane society for the dog ensuring it was legal, licensed with a certificate for spay or neuter if still needed and we followed up on that having had them sign a contract to that effect. I always tried to do it before placing them and we always turned the new owners on to the vet that knew the dogs history. I still have a little album with polaroid's of most of them lol. Funny how more often than not, they picked their Owner. A memorable red haired man in a red truck was immediately approached by our red pittie that already had her 12 puppies adopted went straight up to him, sat and stared til he said she's the one lol. He spoiled her rotten, he was a professor at the university and a brilliant humble soul himself. She was suppose to be euthanized because they didn't allow pregnant dogs at the humane society....she was (one of many} we snuck out the back door lol So bless all of your wonderful volunteers and fosters, may you folks continue the good work and I tip my pāpale to your ability to keep your heart in one piece, you've obviously already earned your wings... human-angels every last one of you.

I would like everyone to know what an unbelievably heartless organization Hawaii Dog Foundation: Ohana Group is. I urge you not to ever donate to them. Don't use them to adopt. Don't ever work with them. https://www.hawaiidogfoundation.org The woman who runs this organization, Leann, took in my children's dog without locating the owner via the chip. She adopted her out two weeks ago and refuses to return her to my kids. My children have loved this dog for years. YEARS. I left her with my ex-husband The Mike Taylor Show - Thunderdome who promised to keep her until we found a home. He then discarded of her, without telling us and left the island, and his children. The right thing to do would be to return her to my children who love her. They should not be victimized by the poor behavior of adults, and there is absolutely no way that a family who has had her for two weeks has bonded in the way my children did in five years. This is so wrong. My children are being failed by so many adults. Shame on you The Mike Taylor Show - Thunderdome and shame on you Hawaii Dog Foundation: Ohana Group #boycotthawaiidogfoundation Don't donate to Hawaii Dog Foundation: Ohana Group https://www.hawaiidogfoundation.org read more

ZERO STARS if possible! I applied for a specific dog right away and I met all requirements, I also spoke on the phone with the fosters and they agreed with me coming to meet one of the puppies I was very interested in. I've explained my background on how I am experienced with many dogs, my whole life I was raised with dogs. I'm very active and I have all the time in the world to invest in another dog. I brought my family and my 2 dogs for them to meet, I did what they told me to do and I feel like they let me down and messed with my emotions. I don't understand how I'm not the right fit, my family owns their own home, we have a huge beautiful secured yard in Kāne'ohe, I have wonderful neighbors who are active K9 officers. I hike and surf everyday so I would take the dog with me everywhere I go and I feel they gave the puppy to an older lady who looks inactive, they are not making the right decision for a active dog breed which is a Pit Bull Bull Terrier mix, the foster said they gave the puppy to a employee of the foundation so I feel this company are 100% discriminatory they only choose military adoptees, I wouldn't support them after this. I'd rather just drive to Waianae and find a puppy myself which you guys are doing and selling them for money, you guys sell adult dogs for $150 and puppies for $200 read more

Hawai'i Dog Foundation - The puppy I was very interested and applied for adoption. Her name is Leah and she is a Pit Bull/ Bull Terrier breed - Pet Adoption Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

Let me rephrase that Like I said this organization will not allow you to take a puppy home if you and your husband have a job, even if you state you have neighbors and friends willing to check in on puppy. In addition, I said I would not want to give them heart worm medicine super young as the professional trainer I took my dog too said there is a chance the medicine tends to create a more aggressive dog. I found a amazing puppy and have another dog both are perfect healthy and happy. I feel bad for ANY animal this organization receives as they do not give them ever opportunity to have a loving home. read more

I can't say enough positive things about Hawaii Dog Foundation!! We had a great experience adopting our first dog and he's the perfect pick for us. We didn't get picked for our first choice but Kay worked with us to find the best fit for both us and our dog. I felt they really cared for the dog and wanted to make sure they went to the best home. I also love their events throughout the year and made friends with our dogs sibling. Thank you Hawaii Dog Foundation for making our family complete! Life long supporter! read more

I love this origination! They work they do is amazing. People who are critical should please put things into perspective. This is totally run by foster parents and people who do not get paid. I got found my dog son from the Hawaii Dog Foundation on facebook and I found the communication great. They do great work saving the dogs of Hawaii! My dog Jäger was saved from "owners" who did not want a puppy and was going to kill it. Luckily somehow HDF got in contact of these people and went to save him. The foster mom did a great job! Please consider supporting them. Adopt if you can, or donate money or supplies! read more

Please do not go to the address they gave on Apple or Google maps, it will take you to their PO Box at the ups store.

A 501(c)(3) non-profit NO-KILL dog rescue organization based on the island of O'ahu and run entirely by volunteers. For now, their primary focus is to take in homeless dogs, foster them & adopt them out to "forever" homes who will love them for the extent of their lifetime. They're part of a handful of no-kill animal organizations on O'ahu that are dedicated to providing an alternative to the standard shelter that everyone knows about. Being run entirely by volunteers, they're always looking for new foster homes for dogs/puppies, monetary/material donations, and new volunteers to help staff the adoption drives they hold @ Pearl City PETCO every Sun, to assist with fundraising, dog transport, etc. The inspiration for this no-kill was a dog named Spreckles who was found wandering around in the Salt Lake area with no tags or microchip. It was a grassroots effort of several people who took him in & helped him find a home through "word of mouth," putting up posters, etc. One dog that was the catalyst for something beautiful. ------------ They have a website of their adoptable puppies/dogs on PetFinder.com: http://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelter_id=HI08 ------------ They have a Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150103933960941&set=a.496848475940.299569.680900940&ref=notif&notif_t=photo_reply#!/group.php?gid=43702246424 ------------- E-mail: info@hawaiidogfoundation.org ------------ They also hold adoptions over at Pearl City PETCO on Sundays from 12 PM - 2 PM. Once a month, they hold a "Meet & Greet" at Mililani Mauka Dog Park from 12 PM - 2 PM on a Saturday. Next one is Dec. 11, 2010. These are events where you can meet some of the dogs/puppies dey get available for adoption. read more

I can't say enough about HDF. They are an incredibly wonderful organization run by people who genuinely care about dogs in need of a home. I adopted my dog from HDF a year and a half ago. I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions of my life. After falling in love with my sweet Jack Russell at one of the "meet and greets" I began working with Helen on the adoption process. HDF actually micro-chipped and neutered my new dog before the adoption was finalized. They even called to see how he was doing in his new forever home. You can just tell they are genuine people who want these dogs to find great families. We love our dog so much. Thanks HDF!!! read more

Hawai'i Dog Foundation - Pet Adoption Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

I love this organization because they are a great bunch of people who love dogs and treats them as family. They tried to fit the dogs needs with family who love them. I am a foster mom for this organization too and also adopted my baby boy Falkor. He is a great companion for my dog Chairochan. They try to get them to a safe place to put them through fostering. They don't have shelters. So they depends on foster moms and dads. Love the dogs that come my way and happy tears when they get adopted because my heart is filled with love and joy. Thank you for letting me foster for your organization. I love you Hawaii Dog Foundation read more

We've submitted multiple applications for over a year now, and have yet to EVER hear anything back from anyone. I'm wondering is this organization even open and currently operating? Seeing the dog get chosen to another family because "the kids fell in love" or whatever else excuse, is ridiculous. And I'm positive we've met all the requirements with at least one of their dogs. No children, big fenced in yard, experience with extremely high energy breeds, and yet still nothing? Makes no sense. You can only remain quiet for so long. I do not recommend this organization. If you cannot put the time and effort into finding a dog for a family, you should not be open and operating. read more

we are so so thankful to Hawaii Dog Foundation for giving us our sweet min pin mix almost a year ago now! the organization heads are organized, professional, quick to get back to you, and overall wonderful people that advocate for animals in our community! we are so grateful to have found them! read more

Before I adopted my own dog I fostered dogs through this organization. Helen, who heads the operation is very willing to work with you when it comes to the size of dog youre willing to foster. They pay for everything and provide you a dog foster kit with bowls, food, blankie and toys if its your first time. All they ask is that you provide a loving foster home and bring the dog to meet and greets. If you're a dog lover but cant keep a dog yourself, consider fostering with HDF. Most of the dogs were abandoned and may need a little rehabilitation when it comes to learning to trust humans. But it all becomes worthwhile when they get adopted by a loving family. read more

My wife and I approached HDF when we were looking for a new puppy to bring into our family. They were very thorough to ensure the dog we brought in was a great fit for us and our current dog, BJ. Even though they didn't have a current fit for our family's lifestyle, they were still able to help us find the right pup for us! Since adopting our new dog, Luna, we have fostered 9 dogs for HDF and were privileged to assist in finding homes for 5 of them. We have a blast at every event we attend and truly enjoy spending time with their entire crew. If you are looking to adopt, LeeAnn and Kay will find the best dog to fit your needs. Do not hesitate to adopt with HDF!!! read more

LOVE HDF!!! Thank you for my new fur baby! Their foster program is great and they do such a good job of setting you up with the new pup. I am so grateful! #adoptdontshop! read more
