Rescued Waianae dogs triumph over suffering Last fall Hawaiian Humane Society’s investigators received a tip about hundreds of animals living in inhumane conditions in Waianae. Upon arrival to the property, the pungent smell of animal waste and rancid food reached them first. As the gates opened, Hawaiian Humane investigators were faced with a horrific sight. Dogs were living in their own filth, kept on chains in makeshift shelters without access to food or clean water. A few of them were sharing kennel space with rodents, both dead and alive. Others were found living in overcrowded cages, their paw pads digging into bare wire. Many of the animals were rail thin. Some too weak to stand. Ticks were found infesting their ears and bodies, all the way down to the space between their toes. Numerous dogs were suffering from lingering medical issues, including skin conditions, which left their fur patchy and their skin red and raw. Parasites made many anemic while other dogs were emaciated, their ribs and hip bones clearly visible. More than 300 animals were rescued over two days and transferred to the Hawaiian Humane Society for urgent care and medical attention. A number, barely clinging to life, were sent to nearby veterinary clinics for emergency medical treatment. In February 2017, after months of coordinating with the Honolulu Police Department and the Honolulu Prosecutor’s Office, the Hawaiian
Humane Society cited David “Lanny” Moore and June Moore each with 310 counts of animal cruelty in the second degree. The Hawaiian Humane Society moved forward to secure ownership of the animals.

According to the “Environmental Law Reporter 35,” housing, treating and caring for animals rescued from hoarding situations can be extremely expensive, particularly if they must be held for a prolonged period while criminal charges are pending. Indeed, the cost of the Society’s care of the animals over six months was great, including medical treatment expenses, food and continued veterinary and animal care. Hawaiian Humane foster care volunteers opened their homes to about 250 animals who lived with them during the ongoing investigation. The Society was finally granted ownership of 331 animals in late March. “We were pleased by the court’s decision, making animal welfare a priority,” said Pamela Burns, president & CEO of the Hawaiian Humane Society. “Good intentions
do not mean an organization is providing the care standards that the law requires.” Once the Hawaiian Humane Society was granted ownership of the dogs, the process to adopt was quickly implemented. The dogs were sterilized and many of them adopted by their foster families. An adoption event was held in early April for more than 30 of the rescued dogs. Families gathered to take home an animal with a story so heartbreaking, yet triumphant. Volunteers waited patiently with each dog, eager to share their story with potential families. Many were overcome with emotion, knowing that one chapter had closed for these dogs and another continued on page 5
President’s Letter
No easy fix for cat overpopulation In 1990 when I joined the Hawaiian Humane Society and launched our free-roaming cat sterilization service, I naively believed that cat overpopulation would be resolved within a decade. Here we are in 2017, nearly three decades later, continuing to work on this challenging community issue. As a society, we have deepened our understanding and struggled to find solutions to address this complex problem. We now know that the Hawaiian Humane Society alone does not have the resources to solve cat overpopulation, but what we can do is facilitate discussions with the community to find a way forward. Most recently, we held a meeting with the Kauai, Maui and Hawaii Island humane societies to better understand each of our situations. It served to reaffirm that every island is unique and there is no prescription for success that will work across all communities. However, we all do agree that spay/neuter options must be increased on every island. While we once referred to all outside cats as “feral,” we have become more sensitive to the fact that this population is actually a convergence with cats of many backgrounds. It includes those who are indoor-outdoor pets, the lost, the abandoned and those who are truly feral, kittens born to a life without human companionship. “Freeroaming cat” seems to be the term of the times to represent this diverse population as it best describes a lifestyle rather than a relationship to people.
We also have become more enlightened about freeroaming cats. While we wish every cat could be a treasured pet living indoors, that is not always the case. Different yet Pamela Burns has common scenarios served as exist: The cat who President & CEO since mews at a back door 1990. to be fed; the cat who is owned but abandoned upon moving; the cat who is sterilized and microchipped, yet no one claims ownership. Our attachment to these animals varies greatly and so does our sense of personal responsibility for them. There is no way to determine how many free-roaming cats are on any one island. Research has only been able to tell us that about 17 percent of Oahu’s people are feeding cats that they don’t consider their “own”. As we celebrate cats this summer, I ask for your action to help the countless free-roaming cats who have become the target of abuse and proposed legislation. By reducing the reproductive rate of the cats in our community through sterilization, over time, we can impact overpopulation. With aloha,
Pamela Burns President & CEO

Celebrate summer with feline friends Summer is the season when cats rule. The Hawaiian Humane Society’s shelter team will be welcoming hundreds of cats that are anticipated to arrive this summer. In response, adoption specials will abound, including waived adoption fees for all cats six months or older throughout the month of June.
Here are some fascinating facts about cats.
Outside of the shelter, the Society will host a creative collection of cat events including a Feline Fest at Salt Our Kakaako on June 10 that will feature kitty photos, fun games and cat-themed goodies from a variety of partners.
• Hawaii’s Queen Kapiolani had two cats, named Malaia and Niele. They were given as a gift to King Kalakaua by a Malaysian sultan.
Why all the fur flyin’ feline fun? Cats are America’s favorite pet. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, there are 4 million more pet cats sharing our homes and hearts than dogs or any other pet for that matter.
• Cats have whiskers on their jaw line and on the back of their front legs.
On Oahu there are more than 130,000 households that own cats. Cats can be gentle around children and are more likely to be welcome in rental homes than dogs. While people with pets may be quick to declare themselves as either dog or cat lovers, cats may have more people in their corner than you might think.
• Females are sometimes referenced as Molly and males as Tom. Both are believed to have origins in English literature.
Cats are the most popular pets in America.
• Cats were already so established in Hawaii by 1809, that when an Englishman visited the islands and compiled a 400-word vocabulary, he included the Hawaiian word for cat – “Popokee.” • Dogs can make about 10 sounds while cats are capable of making up to an astounding 100 sounds! • As early as 1778, Captain James Cook documented an incident where one of his beloved cats fell overboard, was rescued and returned. • Cats rub people to show affection and to claim a person as their own.
• Female cats tend to be rightpawed while males are more often left-pawed. • Science shows it is extremely rare to get a disease from your pet cat. • A cat’s back is remarkably flexible, with a vertebrae that has 53 bones. Humans have only 34. • Just like the fingerprint of a human, a cat’s nose is ridged with a pattern unique to each animal. So the next time someone professes to be a dog lover, declare your love for all animals. There are many reasons that Molly and Tom are the cat’s meow.

Volunteers needed for pet emergency shelters When a tsunami threat was declared for Oahu’s Windward coast a few years ago, 85-year-old Bill Young packed up his dog, who was adopted from the Hawaiian Humane Society, and headed to the pet-friendly shelter in Kailua. There they waited for nearly eight hours before being allowed return home, which was just a block from the beach in Waimanalo. Hawaii is vulnerable to tropical storms, tsunamis and hurricanes, with hurricane season running from June 1 to November 30. Planning ahead for a disaster is one of the most important things to do. With 55 percent of Oahu homes having a pet, families are wise to be ready with several days’ worth of pet supplies including water, a kennel, medications, food and more in case evacuation is needed. A transportation and communication plan is also important. In the tsunami scare that occurred a few years ago, roads were closed in vulnerable areas such as Lanikai. The Hawaiian Humane Society runs pet disaster shelters in the event of catastrophe and volunteers are needed in every neighborhood to help.
is just as important as running a shelter,” says Koga. “Should a disaster strike, there’s going to be no greater reward than to be there for pet owners in need.” Volunteers are also finding a variety of creative ways to support the Society’s efforts to run pet disaster shelters. Retired Punahou School teacher and amateur radio operator Richard Kimitsuka attended a recent Hawaiian Humane training and is supporting Windward communications through his own radio system. Should internet and electricity be absent in the event of a disaster, he can relay messages on his airwaves to support the Society’s pet disaster shelters. The Society is launching a new training program to make it easier to volunteer. It has created a 10-minute training video to teach all the basics, complete with an online quiz, so that a majority of training can take place in the comfort of your own home. An in-person informational session will
follow at a later date to answer any questions volunteers may have. There is always a need for volunteers in coastal areas outside of Honolulu such as Haleiwa, Hauula, Kahuku, Waianae and Waimanalo. This new training program aims to increase the number of volunteers from these and other remote areas. And because training can take place long before a disaster ever strikes, this also provides a way for the Society to host a refresher course that can be accessed from a computer or mobile device immediately before volunteers are deployed.
Be Prepared The Society encourages all pet owners to have a disaster preparedness kit for their pet(s). The kit should include: 7-10 day supply of food and water in sealed containers Crate or carrier for each pet in which he can stand up and turn around with ID card attached Leash and collar with updated ID and license tags Bedding, towels, toys and treats
Wes Koga of Kaneohe stands ready to work in a shelter if called to duty. He also educates the public on behalf of the Society about disaster readiness at events around the island. “Being an ambassador for readiness now

Summer is a scorcher for Hawaii’s pets When horses and dogs strutted down Kalakaua Avenue’s searing asphalt for the Prince Kuhio parade in March, many were wearing boots to protect their feet. As we head into summer, the temperatures are only going to keep climbing. Let empathy be your guide when it comes to protecting your pets this summer. If you are hot or tired, your pet is probably experiencing even greater distress.
Be sure to keep your pets hydrated when spending time outdoors.
Hawaiian Humane Society offers tips to beat the heat. One of the most practical tips is to stay indoors during the hottest period of the day, which is 11 am to 3 pm. Other tips include always taking an ample supply of water and resting at the early signs of overheating. Difficulty breathing or excessive panting, mild fatigue and weakness are additional symptoms to watch for. Just as you wouldn’t leave a baby in a car unattended, don’t leave your pets. A car can become an oven with temperatures that rise quickly and even a few minutes could
endanger your pet. If you find an animal left in a car and fear they may be in immediate danger, call 911. There’s no better way to share time with your dog than being out and about. A little awareness and prevention can make exploring Oahu’s 35 dogfriendly parks and more than 100 beaches a great experience. Visit HawaiianHumane.org to find a dog-friendly beach or park near you.

one was just beginning. One of the first dogs adopted that day was a six-year-old named Moana. “We got Moana! She’s so beautiful,” said Moana’s new owner, Cheryl Wyman. “I saw her on the news and when we came here and I met her and we fell in love with her personality.” Since April, nearly 300 dogs have found new homes, with many being adopted by their foster families.

Students help pets and people in West Oahu While plans are underway to build a second campus for the Hawaiian Humane Society at Hoopili, the Moiliili-based organization continues to make strides in West Oahu communities. The organization’s latest line up of outreach programs include events aimed at serving island pets. The Education team visited Waianae High School as a part of an Animal Hero class, which teaches students about animal welfare. Inspired by their class, the students wanted to be more involved in helping to teach their community how to be responsible pet owners. When they heard about Hawaiian Humane Society’s Pet Kokua, an outreach event that provides free microchips, spay/neuter certificates and a Pet Food Bank, the high schoolers knew they had to be a part of it. “We’re thankful for the opportunity the Hawaiian Humane Society has given the students to be responsible

for providing the public with information,” said Kat Muranaka, Education Academy teacher at Waianae High School. “There have been many ‘teachable moments’ thanks to the Society’s trust and support.”
After weeks of planning, Pet Kokua was held on Saturday, April 29, at Waianae High School. Pet owners in the Waianae area visited with our education team and participated in on-site pet microchipping, games, prizes and more. An estimated 300 people were in attendance. They received almost 1,000 pounds of pet food courtesy of the Society’s Pet Food Bank, 122 microchips for their pets and 6
attendees were educated about animal welfare issues from Waianae High School students and learned more about available programs and services provided by the Society and other animal organizations. In the days leading up to Pet Kokua, Waianae resident Kristy Hintz was ecstatic to attend and be able to take advantage of the event’s services not just for herself but to help homeless pet owners in the community. With a family of many animals, 10 dogs, two chinchillas and two guinea pigs to be exact, Hintz has an extraordinary love for furry companions and helping those in need. She originally grew up between the islands and Minnesota, but, after moving back to start a new chapter, she found that helping homeless pet owners was her passion. In between helping owners search for their lost pets, she regularly brings clothes, food, pet supplies and more to help the people she encounters. “I just really want to make a difference on this island,” she said. Her plan for Pet Kokua was to especially help

those who were mobility impaired and take multiple dogs, as necessary, to the event. Once it was over, she was proud to at least have helped two pet owners in particular microchip a total of six dogs between multiple car rides to and from the event.
Hawaiian Humane remains dedicated to increasing its accessibility of events, programs and services to pet owners islandwide. Shayna Vi, Humane Educator for the Society and event organizer for Pet Kokua, credits early planning and an incredible community response for the success of the event.
When asked about her thoughts after attending the event, she noted, “I saw people bringing in multiple pets. Without this event, they probably wouldn’t have been able to get these services for all of their animals.” She added, more events (more often) would benefit residents and help those who are unable to travel as frequently to the Society’s main campus.
“People were very appreciative of our presence and many asked when we would return. We will definitely be having more events in the future,” she said. To learn more about upcoming events the Society is attending or hosting, visit HawaiianHumane.org/Events. 7
More kittens means more community help needed The days are getting longer and the nights shorter, which can only mean one thing: it’s kitten season. Although kitten season happens yearround in Hawaii due to our warm days, it peaks from late spring to early fall, when cats have more daylight hours and a longer amount of time to mate and breed. During this time, the Hawaiian Humane Society receives an influx of kittens, sometimes
hundreds each month. To prepare for the greater amount of care required, here are some ways the community can assist:
a break. Unless they are in immediate danger, resist removing the babies and risking separation from their mother.
When first finding kittens, monitoring is best before intervening. You may initially feel the impulse to help them, however, mothers can be gone up to eight hours at a time and may simply be off finding food, shelter, relieving themselves or taking
Should you take on the responsibility of caring for kittens, be prepared to see the intervention through. Newborn kittens require round-theclock care, including bottle feeding and potty training. When kittens are healthy and large enough, at about eight weeks old or 2 pounds, they may be sterilized and adopted to new families. Pick up a newborn kitten kit from the Society’s Admission Center, which includes supplies you can use to care for your little ones. Helping Oahu’s free-roaming felines can include learning how to trap and utilize the Society’s low-fee sterilization service, how to read feline behaviors and how current laws affect owned and free-roaming cats alike. The Society always welcomes donations of the kitten supplies found on our wish list. Visit HawaiianHumane.org for more information and resources.

Explore the great outdoors with a furry friend The massive cook pines that cover the landscape of Kuliouou Ridge are About reminiscent of the 20 people-pet forests of Oregon rather teams enjoy monthy Paws on than East Honolulu. the Path But that’s what makes hikes. hiking on Oahu so special – the wide variety of flora along the switchback trails, including koa trees, lauae ferns and ilima flowers; the distinct song of the native Elepaio echoing through the lush valley and, of course, the breathtaking views of both the Pacific Ocean and the mountainous beauty of our island home. What makes hiking with Paws on the Path, Hawaiian Humane Society’s hike club, extra special is bringing along your four-legged friend to enjoy the adventure.
Because the weather can be sunny and humid, and the trail may not provide shade at all times, the Society asks that each owner bring enough water for themselves and their pet. It is also recommended to stay with the group and carry a cell phone in case of emergencies.
Each month the Hawaiian Humane Society hosts Paws on the Path, a hike that promotes the human-animal bond and allows families to spend outdoor time with their dog. About 20 pet-people teams regularly meet at various trailheads throughout Oahu on the last Saturday of every month. The group looks forward to socializing, exercising and enjoying an often muddy romp with their canine pals. One of those teams is Cecelia Ryan and her dog Kia’i Kai.
More information about the Paws on the Path hike club, including locations and dates of each of the hikes, can be found at HawaiianHumane.org/PawsonthePath.

“I chose to join Paws on the Path because I wanted to share my love for nature and the joy I have with my dog on hikes with like-minded people and their dogs,” said Ryan. “The monthly hikes are a great way to explore and enjoy different parts of our beautiful island, while spending quality time with our dogs and each other. Plus, socializing our dogs in this safe and fun environment is a blessing.”
Join us for our 6th Annual Makapuu Sunset Benefit Hike at the Makapuu Lighthouse trail on Saturday, July 29. The hike starts at 5:30 pm.
Each hike can last from one to three hours long and varies from beginner level to intermediate. Prior to each month’s gathering, Paws on the Path Hike leader, Michelle Sullivan, scouts the trails to ensure they are safe and suitable for dogs.
Your $25 donation includes a Hawaiian Humane Society bandana (for pets or people), and refreshments.
“It’s really wonderful to watch the joy in each dog’s face as he scurries over rocks and tree roots,” said Sullivan. “For each wag of the tail, you can see the shared experience in the smiles of people. The hike is a great way to see the human-animal bond in action.”

Kudos to Kakaako for caring for cats Kakaako Waterfront Park is widely known as the place where soaked surfers wash in to shore on foamy waves at dusk. It is also where one of Oahu’s pilot programs to address cats in the community is taking place. Hawaii Community Development Authority (HCDA) is working collaboratively with cat caregivers to establish feeding stations, control waste and support cat sterilization. This task force is committed to reducing the population with nonlethal measures and know through patience and perseverance that it will happen. Special thanks to HCDA, cat caregivers and organizations that have worked collaboratively to ensure a better quality of life for the cats of Kakaako.
Fourth of July can be frightening for the furry Dazzling displays. Boisterous booms. The Fourth of July can be fun and exciting but it can be fearsome for the furry. If your event planning has already begun, here are some tips for keeping your pets safe and sound during the holiday. Resist the urge to take them to Independence Day festivities. Fireworks, picnics and other Fourth of July traditions can be great fun for people; but all of the festivities can be frightening and even dangerous for animals. Find ways to keep your pet indoors. Opt to find a quiet, sheltered and escapeproof area at home. Consider leaving the television on or playing calming music to help soothe your pet while the fireworks continue.
Be sure to consult your veterinarian if you are considering sedating your pet. The Hawaiian Humane Society reunites over 2,500 pets with their families annually but far more are never reported or reunited. In the event your furry companion does get lost, here are a few preventive steps you can take to help find them quickly and easily. Ensure pets have identification, including a microchip, identification tag and dog license. It’s imperative to file a lost report as soon as possible to increase the likelihood of a reunion. Pet owners who want to get their cats and dogs microchipped may come to the Hawaiian Humane Society’s Adoptions or 12
Admissions Center between noon and 4 pm any day of the week. No appointment is needed and the cost is $20. Pets are part of families. Taking the necessary precautions for their wellbeing will provide for a fun, yet safe holiday for all.
July is Microchip Madness Month Every year, veterinarians from Waianae to Hawaii Kai offer low-cost microchipping of pets for a flat rate of $10 thanks to a partnership with Hawaiian Humane Society.

Help shape the future of the
Hawaiian Humane Society
Our mission of creating a compassionate and humane society for animals and people is sustained by generous pet lovers who believe there must be a place where all animals are welcome and receive the care they need. When you make a gift to the Hawaiian Humane Society through your estate plans, you help ensure that we’ll be here—committed to the welfare of animals in Hawaii—for many years to come.
For more information about making the Hawaiian Humane Society a part of your legacy, please contact the Director of Development at 356-2221 or lfowler@hawaiianhumane.org. If the Hawaiian Humane Society is already a part of your estate plans, please notify us so we can recognize you as a member of the Helen Kinau Wilder Legacy Society.
