    Sally is one years old and looking for her forever home!
    Kim R.

    This is a clean and well run facility. It is obvious the staff care very much for the animals. For a donation of $75, tourists can take a shelter dog on a field trip for the day. We took a very sweet dog named Sally to the beach, which was fun for both my kids and the pup. If you aren't able to adopt, consider signing up for a field trip!

    Fionn - on his field day from the Kauai Humane Society - eating a treat from me

    Just wanted to add a photo with Fionn, the adorable pup who spent a day out while I was in Kauai. I wish I could've adopted him !!

    Hamma boy!

    Oh my gosh, their take a shelter pet out for the day program is so fantastic! The staff were so friendly and helpful. We told them our plan (walking Kapaa bike path) and they matched us with the most Perfect little boy, Hamma! They sent us off with a backpack full of goodies- water, bowl, toys, and lots of treats. Hamma is the bestest boy you will ever meet with the cutest overbite! We spent the day with Hamma and even were able to get him a shaved ice with bone broth at Honu ice (recommended by the staff at the humane society.) These people are doing great work and it can't be easy with their limited resources. We so hope Hamma finds the bestest home! They also have a cute thrift store inside that had some adorable things for purchase!

    On a recent trip to Kauai my husband and I took one of the pups here -- Paxon -- out for a field trip day and it was such a blast! I highly recommend stopping by and getting one of the shelter pups out for a day to have some fun if you're traveling there. Paxon was such a great travel buddy too -- seriously the perfect dog! If we didn't already have a zoo of animals at home we would adopt him in a heartbeat! If anyone is looking for an adorable medium sized buddy he is still available for adoption!

    Great place to take a dog out for the day and help a canine friend. Clean location and friendly staff. Took Lemon Sugar out and had a great time. Did the $100 meet and greet and had a great time taking the dog out for a day. All supplies are given for the day and have done this on 3 separate trips now. One day I look forward to adopting!

    Such an awesome program they have for the dogs and for myself as well... Absolutely Amazing....I went twice and had a companion for about 6 hours each day took one dog I believe it was AC (has a sibling named DC)....took him out to the beach and an easy hike for my first whole day in Kauai. Dog was cool didn't listen perfectly, but really I'm there to help them enjoy life.... they gave me toys and food/snacks for the dog.... They forgot to put the poop baggies in there and I had no way to pickup the poo...LOL I felt kinda bad but what was I to do!?!?! The last full day there I got another dog her name was Fluoride a mixed terrier and it was first time out ever so she was very shy and timid....scared when I first took her out of the car she tried to cower under the car but I got her out and she did okay for being her first time...we walked across the Hanapepe Swinging Bridge she did okay with that even though it started to rain a little as well...we walked around the town....and got her a pup cone as well (just shaved ice with no flavor)...Took her to eat a late lunch as well at Leahi Health...I didn't feed her....but gave her a couple snacks that were there....and we walked around Old Koloa town....and went into many stores and people acknowledged her and I hope she had fun... Overall, what a great experience and next time I'm there I'll be doing the same!!!! In the mean time any locals that read my review please go to the Humane Society if you want a pet dog help save these pups please! There is a $40 fee to take a dog out on a Field Trip but it is well worth it like donating money to the Humane Society!

    Toy he picked out.

    My partner wanted to take a dog out on a walk for her birthday while we were visiting and that's what we did. Signing up for the day trip is really easy through their website. We asked for a medium sized dog and got Catchafire, a black lab mix. The staff are knowledgeable and extremely friendly. You get a backpack for the day with everything you need, including, water, water bowl, towel and treats. You'll also get a card with suggestions on where you can and can't take the dog. We took Catchafire to Shipwreck Beach and Moalepe trail. At first he wouldn't take treats but eventually he opened up but would still only eat one type of treat. When we returned him, we had to stop off at the Petco and get him a toy. Overall great experience, good exercise for both human and dog.

    We did the Field Trip program and got to spend the day with Max, a cute lil hound mix puppy. They let you choose what size and then suggest a dog based on that and the activities you're planning to do. They do have some new restrictions for the dogs' safety, but nothing I would consider a dealbreaker. We took Max hiking around Poipu and hung out at the beach by the Hyatt in the shade. Lots of folks stopped by to say hi and he was very friendly to everyone. If you're thinking about doing it, do it!

    Love their field trip for shelter dog program. We lucked out with Master Splinter. He's a 5 month old mix. We had an awesome day that started at 11am and ended at 5pm on the nose. You can tell the volunteer staff any preferences. We asked for mellow and this pup delivered. He was a great companion and loved to stay close and snuggle. Loved every human he met and especially loved little kids. We hiked at Keahua Arboretum, stopped for shaved ice at Hee Fat General Store in Kapa'a, stopped at 3 beaches (shipwreck, Gillin's and Maha'ulepu) and ended at Mucho Aloha Brewery. He was an angel all day and cannot recommend this program more. They will ship your new family member to the mainland. $200 to west coast and $300 to east coast. For $40 they geared us up with leash, water, treats, toys, poop bags, towel and backpack. Everything to set us up for a perfect Kauai doggy day!! As bummed as we were to drop off our dream boat for the day, it was clear he was loved by the Humane Society staff too. Come stop in and make a furry babe part of your Ohana.

    Let's call this the best humane society in the states due to their brilliant program that allows people to take shelter dogs on a day field trip to dog friendly places. They make this so easy by providing a backpack with everything your pup needs and locations they point you to for the kind of day you want to have. The dog wears a harness that says adopt me to promote adoption. They can also have shave ice with no flavoring. The staff are so friendly. They asked what size dog and what type of day we were looking to do to match the pup to the people. We picked 'beach day' and medium to small dog. We got this 8 month puppy from who was extremely sweet. Cost was $40-$45 dollars to take the dog out (covers supplies in backpack) and I donated after to extra support. LOVE this whole experience. Get your doggy fix. Yes you can adopt them. Just talk to the staff about how to get your pup to the mainland and process.

    The Kauai Humane Society has an amazing program where you can take a shelter dog out for the day on a field trip. Needless to say, this field trip during our trip to Kauai changed my life for the better. For a nominal donation, my boyfriend and I took "Overcast" out for the day where we went to the beach and grabbed some shave ice. I fell in love with this sweet dog and it was so wonderful to see her demeanor light up as she got to explore the island with us and work on her socialization. Overcast was thrilled to get out and she was still more than happy to return to the shelter when all was said and done. The facility was clean and the staff were so kind. I wanted to fly Overcast back to L.A. but I wasn't equipped to handle a larger dog in my one bedroom apartment so when I came back to my hometown, I started fostering for rescues and eventually adopted one of my own. They offer such an amazing opportunity for their adoptable dogs to get exposure and to hopefully find their perfect family. For any dog lovers on vacation, this program is a must do.

    The field trip is such a great idea, and Such a fun activity! We got to take Mailani out for the day and she was such a good dog. We asked for a bigger & more active dog, but every pup we saw seemed super friendly and eager to go on their field trip. She did very well in the car, which was great bc we were driving a rental. Highly recommend taking a puppy out to play!

    scruffy!
    Sephora S.

    really enjoyed the experience to adopt a dog for the day! we got scruffy and she was so energetic and loving it made the whole day even more enjoyable and fun. I miss her and check on her weekly to see if she been adopted! lots of people were so invested in her when we took her out and I hope that one of them was invested enough to adopt her because if I could I would in a heart beat‍ give this place a try and who know you'll find your forever pet here! you can even adopt from here and they ship to you

My first two calls to Kapaa Animal Clinic around 230pm, the woman told me to give my dog Gatorade and that she would talk to the vet and call me back. She said my dog was having common symptoms of eating / drinking something bad and that she'd proably be fine. Her tone and sighs over the phone gave me the impression i was over reacting to common bloody stool issues and i backed down my panic. I trusted her to call me back. I called again an hour later, she had not talked to the vet but she said would right away. Agan, no call back and they closed for the day at 6pm when i called again. I tried to call the emergency line multiple times. I had hope that based on her experience that the woman was correct, that my dog was having a normal stomach problem and could hang on til morning. At 2 am i finally got an answer to come in. But my sweetie died at 2:30am of dehydration. She needed fluids... She most likely could have been saved. They charged me $200 to hand me my dog in a paper bag 2 weeks later. I will never forgive myself for trusting that woman to call me and for trusting that my dog was having common symptoms and would be ok. She gave me her MEDICAL OPINION AND ADVICE THAT LET ME DOG DIE. I was only apolozed to by others when I went to them asking for answers. I was told theyd speak to management about the issue. I was given no follow up from management. I asked again, why didnt she call me back? Why didnt this woman lose her job? Why could no one explain her careless, dismissive behavior? My best friend is dead at 7 years old and she could have been saved. They did not fire her or have her apologize to me. They paid her to let my dog die. They continue to pay her to give us false information and to not call us back while our pets suffer. She will be paid to let your pets die on her watch too. This isn't just about her negligence, but about how the management is responding (by not responding all) not even offering to creamte my girl that died due to their negligence. It is also about how they are probaly treating and overworking their own employees to a point where they are butnt out- forgetting or choosing to not call back a patient that's been bleeding for hours. Why did I not get a call from management or the nelgigent person? Why have I told this story to multiple people in the community and they have replied with their own story of negligence at this facility and they drive double the time to any other vet on island? Why is my dog dead? Why was I so trusting? Why did I let her tone manipulate how to handle my dogs care? I blame them- yes but I also blame myself for trusting the people I have given thousands of dollars to that do this for a living. I am not sure how long I will mourn the tragic and preventative loss of my best friend. I have lost my pets before and been sad but never due to veterinarian negligence. The one place who is supposed to care as much as you and be able to take action when needed. Update: It has been one month since the Kapaa animal clinic neglectfully my killed my dog, no calls from management, no consequences for the women that lied to me and refused my dog care. She still has her job. They DO NOT CARE. I was an established patient and they refused me emergency care during buisness hours and didn't answer the emergency line. Since telling my story, many people have had the same thing happen there. Just the week before, a woman's dog bled out in their waiting room while they refused to bring them back for fluids. This is unacceptable. Please establish your pets at ANY other vet on the island as this one will let your pet die in an emergency.

    We had a great experience with the Kapa'a Animal Clinic. They are kind, honest, thorough, and…read morereasonably priced. They took great care of us and our injured cat. I would recommend!
