Paradise Paws is located at the Kakaako farmers market opposite side of the boat docks in the…read morefront/corner of the market. Most times they are not that busy there so you should be able to walk right up with no issues. Cake pickups can no longer be done at the Kakaako market but at Dogtown bakery. However, a friend that visited them said that their cakes are shelf stable and can be unrefrigerated for about a month which is kind of weird considering their frosting is made out of yogurt which is hard as a rock and would probably need a chainsaw to jut cut through that layer. the cake itself is really dense too. I found that the owner could be a little unprofessional at times and a lot of my friends had pretty bad vibes and experiences there for different reasons. the Hawaii doggy community is rather small and word goes around pretty fast.

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 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.

He was more comfortable, steadier on his feet, and today he got up by himself and started walking around again--something that felt impossible just days ago. As someone with an older dog dealing with disc disease, possible ACL issues, and neurological weakness, it is scary and emotional when they are in pain and lose mobility. The care, attention, and treatment plan made a real difference for Joey. I am beyond grateful for the compassion, skill, and willingness of Dr Asato and her team to look at the whole picture instead of just one symptom. Seeing him improve like this has been such a relief and gives me real hope. Thank you for helping give my dog his comfort, mobility, and spirit back

When my family came back to Kailua from Okinawa with a new dog this office wasn't open. Yesterday my dog was not acting like himself. His normal vet could not get him in. So I decided to call around and noticed Kailua Pet Hospital was opened and decided to call. The gentleman at the front got me in within an hour. Dr. Thornburg was amazing and my dog felt comfortable with everyone in the office. Everything was explained to me throughly. It was determined that my dog most likely injured his neck so he was given the meds he needed to help with recovery. Today I can tell he's feeling much better. Hopefully with a couple weeks of rest he'll be back to his rambunctious self! Thank you Kailua Pet Hospital! So happy to have you back. Bonus...They give a military discount
