HAWAIIAN HUMANE SOCIETY KOSASA FAMILY CAMPUS AT HO‘OPILI
Aloha kākou. In this issue of Paw Prints, we are looking beyond the shelter to the role of the community in supporting animal welfare. As an animal champion, I am sure you will see yourself in this work.
Our donors and volunteers exemplify two of the critical ways in which the community supports animal welfare and Hawaiian Humane. In this issue we talk about the important work of Max’s Fund, which provides advanced medical care for shelter dogs in need. We also highlight the amazing contributions of our more than 1,000 volunteers. We have an incredible diversity of volunteer roles and I hope one of them might appeal to you or someone you know.
Involving the broadest possible coalition of stakeholders is critical to meeting our mission and is a central principle of the Socially Conscious Animal Community framework, which Hawaiian Humane embraced in 2019.
In partnership with the Association for Animal Welfare Advancement, the premiere networking and professional development organization in our field, the founders of the Socially Conscious Animal Community have just refreshed the original tenets to better reflect animal welfare’s recognition that supporting people is a necessary component of ensuring better outcomes for animals.
Rebranded as People and Animals in Community Together, the nine tenets of PACT are:
• Ensure every unwanted or homeless pet has a safe place to go for care.
• Place every healthy and safe animal.
• Assess the medical and behavioral needs of homeless animals, and ensure these needs are thoughtfully addressed.
• Alleviate suffering and make appropriate euthanasia decisions.
• Align policy with the needs of the community.
• Enhance the human-animal bond through thoughtful placements and post-adoption support.
• Consider the health and wellness of each animal and community when transferring animals between communities.
• Implement inclusive policies and practices.
• Foster a culture of transparency, ethical decision making, mutual respect, continual learning, and collaboration.
Learn more about PACT and the critical role other stakeholders must play in protecting our animals in this issue.
If you are reading this magazine, I am sure you play at least one role in support of Hawaiian Humane and the animals in our community, and probably more than one. I hope you will add to them the role of ambassador to the people in your life. Please share with them the many ways in which they can choose to help.
Mālama pono,

IN OUR BACKYARD HAPPY TAILS Love at Last: After 341 Days, Sophie’s Dream Finally Comes True
Ideally, when animals enter a shelter, their time awaiting adoption is brief. However, with the Hawaiian Humane Society’s two campuses beyond critical capacity on an ongoing basis, the average length of stay for shelter pets – or the number of days from admission to adoption – currently exceeds 50 days.
Sophie waited to find her family for a staggering 341 days. She was brought to Hawaiian Humane’s Mō‘ili‘ili Campus in early May 2023 as a stray, found by a Good Samaritan wearing a tattered, faded collar and wandering alone in Salt Lake District Park. The Good Samaritan checked with other park visitors to see if she was known to them, then brought her into the shelter in the hopes that her owner would be found.
With no microchip or ID tag, Sophie’s 48-hour stray hold came and went with no one coming for her. As with all dogs in Hawaiian Humane’s care, she was microchipped and given flea/tick preventatives, bordetella and DHLPP (which protects against distemper, parvovirus, parainfluenza, canine adenovirus and leptospirosis) vaccines, then underwent a physical exam, heartworm test and spay surgery. Once recovered, she became available for adoption.
Sophie’s boisterous, energetic, sweet personality quickly made an impression on staff and volunteers. In her kennel, she would bark, spin and hop in excitement, but the moment she was taken out for a walk, she showed her true personality. Sophie loved to sit and wait for treats, and would rub up against staff and volunteers for cuddles.
Often, the behavior that animals display in their kennels can be a deterrent for potential adopters. That was the case for Sophie, as days turned to weeks, then months, with no one asking to meet her.
Staff across both campuses tried their hardest to get her noticed, taking her on field trips featured on Hawaiian Humane’s social media and visits to local

news stations to be featured on TV. She was designated a Reid Krucky Memorial Fund recipient, which seeks to help promote long-stay dogs by waiving their adoption fee and providing an adoption starter kit to help them get settled in their new homes. She was moved to our Kosasa Family Campus at Ho‘opili in the hopes of exposing her to new adopters from Central and West O‘ahu. She even enjoyed a couple of Couch Crasher foster stays during that time, where we learned more about what she was like outside of the shelter. We knew the right home was out there for Sophie, and we weren’t giving up on her, even as her one-year anniversary crept closer.
Joe Kidd and his family had recently adopted Cha Cha Maru (formerly named Hank) from our Mō‘ili‘ili Campus. Joe and his family decided Cha Cha Maru needed a fur sibling, which brought them to Sophie. Joe noted that Sophie’s photo on her online profile resembled Cha Cha Maru, and their personalities sounded similar.
having zoomies. That was it. That’s when I knew I was going to adopt her.”
What Joe didn’t realize is that the moment he said those words, a ripple was sent out across O‘ahu. Dozens and dozens of staff and volunteer cell phones and emails pinged as our team celebrated our longest-stay resident - Sophie, now named Kinako, a dog that we had all come to love - was finally going home.
Joe remembers what that first night home was like. “That first day with these two was nuts. My wife took a picture of me with one dog under each arm at 1 am, trying to separate them for just a moment because they would not stop playing, even in the middle of the night. You can see how happy they are. It was 24 hours of constant playing and never settling. Now, they’ve finally calmed down and are always by each other’s side. They love playing together and sleeping next to each other.”
Joe hopes others will choose to adopt as well.
“We know a breeder for poodle/German Shepherd mixes and had originally been thinking of getting a puppy from them. But we were apprehensive about a puppy - they’re a lot of work and require a lot of time and energy,” said Joe. “My daughter adopted her dog, Suki, from [the Hawaiian Humane Society] fi ve years ago. It was her idea for us to adopt an adult dog. She looked it up, said there’s an adoption special happening and fees were waived. So we went down and that’s how we found Cha Cha Maru. Even Kinako’s fee was waived, too. But even if I had to pay $300 or more for each of them, that wouldn’t have stopped me. I would have adopted them anyway. I can’t recommend adopting enough. They’re so happy together … and so are we.”
Joe piled everyone in the car, including Cha Cha Maru, and headed out to the Kosasa Family Campus. There, with Customer Service Manager Austin Corbier facilitating a supervised meet-and-greet, Sophie was introduced to Joe and his family. Austin carefully observed Sophie and Cha Cha Maru’s body language and it was quickly apparent that they would be fast friends. Joe recalls, “[Austin] got comfortable enough with their behavior to see how they would do off-leash with each other. They immediately started playing and

Fostering a cuture of transparency, ethical decision making, mutual respect, continual learning and collaboration
As our community faces high numbers of homeless animals and the rising costs of pet ownership, it is increasingly clear that no one organization can be the answer to the needs pets and their owners have in our community. And this is not just true in Hawai‘i. Nationally and internationally, the animal welfare profession has recognized that the work of sheltering animals is unsustainable without a more holistic approach.
The Hawaiian Humane Society embraced the Socially Conscious Animal Community framework in 2019 with the arrival of President & CEO Anna Neubauer, who was a part of the group of organizations in Colorado who founded that movement.
Now under the stewardship of the Association for Animal Welfare Advancement, the Socially Conscious Animal Community has evolved into People and Animals in Community Together. The movement aims to show how all community stakeholders have a role to play in creating better outcomes for companion animals.
What can everyone in our community do?

ADVOCACY
Advocacy in Action: Closing Loopholes to Prevent Animal Cruelty
Legislative change is a long game. The delays are frustrating, but when persistence pays off, the victory is sweet.
One of the measures we championed in the recently concluded legislative session represented a multi-year effort to close loopholes in the veterinary licensing and animal cruelty statutes that owners have used to operate on their own pet animals, or hire unqualified people to do so, resulting in pets being harmed by backyard surgeries ranging from ear-flap removal to cesarean sections.
While we were waiting on Gov. Josh Green’s decisions regarding this session’s bills at press time, if signed into law, HB1527, HD1, and SD2 would have protected Exxy, an approximately 3-year-old bulldog mix, who was brought into our care with a large ventral abdominal hernia and sent out for specialized surgery. The Hawaiian Humane Society veterinarian who examined her and the veterinary surgeon who operated on her concurred that the injury was the result of a backyard cesarean section. Exxy also had virtually her entire ear flaps surgically removed, leaving her ear prone to infection and hearing loss.
Many of these backyard surgeries are performed by or for profit-driven breeders who would rather make more money on the animals they sell than go to a licensed veterinarian for either necessary or cosmetic care. They are done in unsanitary conditions without proper anesthetic.
Exxy was lucky enough to survive the mutilation and get the care she needed, but it is safe to expect that many animals in similar situations die without ever making it into the care of a shelter or veterinary clinic. This new law will protect animals statewide.
The legislative session included heartbreaking disappointment over the defeat of bills increasing penalties on the very worst animal cruelty offenses and creating a felony penalty for cockfighting, but we will persist on those issues as well.
In addition to the legislative wins highlighted here, the state approved funding for a pilot pet foster program for the Women’s Community Correctional Center on O‘ahu, spay/neuter grants for O‘ahu Animal Welfare Alliance member organizations, and disaster hardening improvements for Hawaiian Humane’s campuses in ‘Ewa Beach and Mō‘ili‘ili. These projects support the human-animal bond and will protect animals in our community.

Advocacy Wins!
Relating to Veterinary Medicine (HB1527 HD1 SD2)
If signed into law, this measure would prohibit anyone but a licensed veterinarian from performing any surgical procedure on a pet animal. It would also repeal the exemption of cropping and docking from the animal cruelty statute unless those surgeries are performed by a licensed veterinarian. It would take effect upon approval.
Relating to Dangerous Dogs (HB2058 HD1 SD1, CD1)
If signed into law, this measure would establish the offense of negligent failure to control a dangerous dog, creates a felony penalty for a bite incident that maims or kills a human being, and stipulates rules regarding the impoundment of dangerous dogs. Beginning July 1, 2025, it would establish provisions regarding the designation of dangerous dogs and requirements for owners of dangerous dogs. The one-year delay is meant to provide the three counties that contract out animal services with time to establish a system of due process regarding the designation of dangerous dogs.
This bill was inspired by community heartache over inadequate penalties available to punish dog owners following fatal attacks on Hawai‘i Island. It supports the interests of public safety, while also establishing provocation and impoundment provisions designed to reduce animal suffering.
Relating to Fireworks (HB2193 HD1 SD2, CD1)
If signed into law, this measure would give law enforcement enhanced authority to enforce the State's Fireworks Control Law. It would take effect July 1.
The Department of Law Enforcement has done great work in the past year to interdict illegal fireworks and punish the people who are bringing explosives into our neighborhoods. These additional tools are meant to help it build on that progress.
Resolution HCR171, SD1 HCR171 SD1
This resolution asks the state and county agencies responsible for removing deceased dogs and cats from public roadways to check for, scan, and record the microchip of the deceased dog or cat, if any, and certain other information; and timely notify county animal services or animal service contractors of the deceased dog or cat, including the recorded information.
While resolutions do not have the force of law, they are a strong statement of intent by the Legislature. We hope to work with the state Department of Transportation, Highways Division; and the City and County of Honolulu Department of Environmental Services on a system for getting this information out to pet owners.
Beginning June 3, the Hawaiian Humane Society’s Kosasa Family Campus at Ho‘opili expanded the operating hours for the Petco Love Adoptions Center to be open daily from 11 am to 7 pm. Opening daily will increase accessibility for potential adopters to meet shelter pets, supporting our efforts to find more pets loving homes.

Hawaiian Humane Celebrates 149 Adoptions During Empty the Shelters Event
The Hawaiian Humane Society joined in the BISSELL Pet Foundation's Empty the Shelters nationwide adoption event from May 1 - 15, which waived adoption fees for dogs and cats one year of age and older.
Thanks to the Empty the Shelters event, 149 pets were adopted from our Mō‘ili‘ili and Kosasa Family campuses! At our Mō‘ili‘ili Campus, 57 dogs and 27 cats wagged their
way into the hearts of new families, while at the Kosasa Family Campus, 51 dogs and 14 cats purred their way into loving homes.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the adopters who opened their hearts and homes to these deserving animals, and to the BISSELL Pet Foundation for its invaluable support in our commitment to give animals the second chances at happiness that they deserve.
Supporter Spotlight
Meet Anna Meng: Champion of Unconditional Love for Hawai‘i’s Animals
When you meet Anna Meng, she'll tell you, “Nobody gives you 100 percent unconditional loyalty and love except animals – not your children, not your staff, no human beings. Animals are the only ones!”
Originally from Taiwan, Anna came to the U.S. when she was 14 years old to attend school. She’s lived in Hawaii for more than 40 years and cherishes the animals at the Hawaiian Humane Society.
Anna’s sweet spot over the years has been her work on the Tuxes and Tails benefi t gala. She has chaired the auction an impressive nine times and has been a powerful fundraiser for the event. She’s quick to credit Hawaiian Humane staff for supporting and driving the success of the auction, but Anna has put her heart and soul into every aspect. She takes the lead on everything including
soliciting items for donation, logging and packaging thousands of donated items, and creating beautiful displays. Anna has helped to transform this auction into a highly anticipated event and done so in her beautiful and kind way.
“It’s an intense process, but an important revenue generator,” Anna said.
Ever humble, she said that it’s not just about the fundraising for her. "It’s an area I can actually do some good because of my retail background," she said. This practical approach, coupled with her genuine desire to help, have proved a winning combination for the benefi t of the 140-year-old Hawaiian Humane Society, which is in a crisis with kennels on two campuses filled with animals.
While this powerhouse is queen of the auction, at the core she’s all heart and has an incredible soft spot for shelter animals. She also gives her time by walking and bathing dogs and trying to recruit others to the mission.
Her support doesn’t stop there.
Anna gave a heartfelt play-by-play of how she adopted Duke and Daisy at 8 weeks old from Hawaiian Humane. Though from the same litter, the dogs were strikingly different. Anna can give you the exact date when things started to
go wrong for Duke, Oct. 30, 2023. She refers to her beloved Duke as her son and was devastated by his passing, describing how President & CEO Anna Neubauer sat with her for two hours to process the loss of Duke. “I will never forget that. I will do anything for HHS,” she said.
She offered some advice for anyone in retirement or with extra time on their hands. “Forget pickleball,” she says, “Why don’t you volunteer at the shelter? Walking dogs, giving them a bath, cleaning the kennels. You can’t do anything more fulfilling. Plus it’s a good workout,” she said with a wink and a grin.
Max's Fund Saves the Day: Leia's Tale of Triumph Over Parvovirus
Leia was found stray in the Kailua area by a Good Samaritan and brought to the Hawaiian Humane Society’s Mō‘ili‘ili Campus on Christmas Eve 2022. Sadly, not long after entering the shelter, Leia began exhibiting symptoms indicative of parvovirus, including bloody stool and vomiting.
Parvovirus – commonly referred to as “parvo” – is a highly contagious disease caused by the canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2), which attacks white blood cells and the gastrointestinal tract. Parvovirus can be especially severe in unvaccinated puppies, often leading to death due to dehydration. It is a preventable disease because vaccines to protect against the virus are readily available in the form of the DAPP, DA2PP or DHLPP vaccines, which are considered core vaccines for dogs and puppies.
Parvo is easily spread by contact with an infected dog’s feces or surfaces that have come in contact with an infected dog’s feces, making it especially dangerous in a shelter environment due to the high numbers of animals in care. To minimize the risk of disease transmission, Hawaiian

For more information about making the Hawaiian Humane Society a part of your legacy, call 808-356-2252 or email Giving@HawaiianHumane.org.
Humane has rigorous cleaning and sanitization practices in place and administers the DHLPP vaccine, which is a combined vaccine to protect against distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza, leptospirosis and parvovirus, to all dogs and puppies over the age of four weeks that enter the shelter.
Due to the severity of that disease risk, our Veterinary Services team acted swiftly once Leia’s symptoms became apparent. They performed a parvo SNAP test, which returned positive results for the dangerous virus in Leia. Our on-call veterinarian quickly consulted with our trusted partner, the Veterinary Emergency Referral Center of Hawai’i (VERC), and our Field Services team jumped in to urgently transport Leia to VERC for critical care.
Leia gradually responded to treatment, relying first on IV fluids and medications, then oral medications as her symptoms subsided and she regained her strength. Once cleared, Leia was paired with a foster home for three weeks of supportive care. Leia was made available for adoption after her return to Hawaiian Humane and found a loving home the same day.
Leia’s treatment at VERC would not have been possible without Max’s Fund, which subsidizes the cost of emergency treatment for dogs who need it most.

We also asked Justin what advice he would like to give to someone interested in volunteering, and he said, “I think it's important to know that the roles, however rewarding, require a lot of effort and determination. And if you sometimes feel overwhelmed, take a break, shake a paw or chat with someone around you. Know that the effort makes a world of difference for the animals and the team [at Hawaiian Humane Society].”
May 2024 - Patti M. Dog Walking & Laundry Volunteer Volunteer for 8 months
We asked Patti what her favorite part of her volunteer role is, and she answered, “I look forward to the time I get to spend with the animals…Spending quality time with the animals is good for the soul.”

A Week of Gratitude: Celebrating Hawaiian Humane’s Volunteers
National Volunteer Appreciation Week from April 21 - 27 was a heartfelt celebration at Hawaiian Humane as we are deeply grateful for the incredible dedication and compassion of our volunteers. Throughout the week, we recognized our volunteers through daily giveaways, special treats and other recognition for their invaluable service. Each day brought a new surprise, from
personalized thank-you notes to goodies. The festivities culminated in a joyous Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast. It was a wonderful opportunity to honor the remarkable individuals who make a profound difference in the lives of our animals. Mahalo to all of our amazing volunteers for supporting our mission and animals in need every day!
Be a Hero for Kittens Through Foster Care
With kitten season underway, it is crucial to provide our current foster volunteers with the training and tools they need to succeed, while making it easy for new and interested fosters to ask questions in a supportive, welcoming environment. That’s why our Foster Care team recently hosted a Foster Care Open House and a series of hands-on training sessions for our Itty Bitty Kitty Committee – Hawaiian Humane’s trained force of neonate foster volunteers.
New and existing volunteers were invited to both campuses this spring to get hands-on training, meet litters of kittens awaiting foster placement, and were able to take home litters the same day!
At press time, Hawaiian Humane had more than 200 kittens in foster homes with another 200 looking for fosters of their own, with more coming in every day. Itty Bitty Kitty Committee fosters play a critical role in providing the round-the-clock care necessary for newborn kittens to thrive in a safe, loving temporary home. Our Foster Care team provides all of the training, supplies and medical care for your foster kittens while they’re with you - all we ask is for the gift of your time and compassion!

Sheltering the Vulnerable: New Incubators Have a Transformative Impact on Neonatal Animal Care
Hawaiian Humane recently received a donation of five cutting-edge incubators from generous supporter Josie Josypenko. These incubators are gradually being made operational as our Veterinary Services and Operations teams identify functional placement and access to resources. They are already proving their worth, serving as a vital lifeline for the tiniest and most vulnerable residents of the shelter: neonate kittens and puppies.
The first occupants of these incubators arrived as fragile bundles of fur. With carefully regulated temperature and humidity levels mirroring those of a mother cat's nest, coupled with round-the-clock care from dedicated staff and foster volunteers, these incubators are instrumental in providing the optimal environment for these neonates to thrive.
As these tiny residents continue to grow and flourish, they underscore the lifesaving impact of these incubators and the profound difference they make in

Joy Ambassadors Take Over the State Capitol
Hawaiian Humane’s Pet Visitation program is a specialized group of volunteers and their own pets who serve as Joy Ambassadors, visiting schools, hospitals, health care facilities, and other locations islandwide. Under the dedicated stewardship of our Pet Kōkua Outreach team, our Pet Visitation program has expanded its reach to include other high-stress locations seeking to reduce anxiety, relieve feelings of loneliness and enhance mental and emotional wellbeing, including partnerships with select U.S. Veterans Affairs and military facilities.
In late April, our Joy Ambassador volunteers were honored to be invited by the Governor’s Office to visit with Hawai‘i State Capitol staff and elected officials towards the end of this stressful legislative session.
The impact of this visit was immediately apparent, with staff and elected officials alike lighting up with gleeful smiles as soon as they walked in the room.
Mahalo to Gov. Josh Green and his team, along with Joy Ambassador teams, Eileen B. and Lani, Karina E. and Sir Newton, Terese A. and Hokunani, and Virginia C. and Coco, for making this very special visit possible, and to Rep. Andrew Garrett and Sen. Glenn Wakai for joining us!
Well-socialized pets of all kinds - not just dogs - are welcome to join our esteemed group of Pet Visitation volunteers! To learn more, visit HawaiianHumane.org/ pet-visitation.

Helping Senior Dogs Shine: Hawaiian Humane Receives $10,000 Grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization
The Hawaiian Humane Society has been awarded a $10,000 grant by The Grey Muzzle Organization, enhancing our efforts to support senior dog adoptions. This funding will enable us to provide high-quality medical and dental care to our senior shelter dogs, reducing barriers to their adoption and helping them find loving homes.
While all dogs at the Hawaiian Humane Society receive routine veterinary care, spay/neuter surgery, microchipping, vaccinations, and flea, tick and heartworm preventatives, many senior dogs come into our care requiring additional dental treatment.
for this partnership and look forward to seeing the positive impact on our senior dogs.
Thanks to The Grey Muzzle Organization’s grant, senior dogs will benefi t from crucial diagnostic tools and dental treatments, addressing dental issues and significantly improving their quality of life. This support is crucial in helping aging shelter dogs, like Nohea, find loving homes more quickly. We are deeply grateful
Ongoing Adoption Specials
Thanks to the support of the PETCO Love Foundation, Hawaiian Humane offers three ongoing adoption specials throughout
the year that help to subsidize adoption fees and create incentives for pets finding loving homes:
Everyday Heroes: The adoption fees for all animals are discounted by 10% for first responders, military personnel and teachers with proof of employment. The Everyday Heroes adoption special reinforces the crucial role that the human-animal bond plays for those in high-stress positions committed to our community, while recognizing their service. As of press time, 929 pets have been adopted so far this fiscal year because of this special offer. Seniors for Seniors: The adoption fees for dogs and cats 6 years of age and older are 100% waived for
adopters ages 55+. Our Seniors for Seniors special ensures pets and people alike can experience the joys of unconditional love in their golden years. To date, 35 pets have found homes through Seniors for Seniors this year.
Wags & Whiskers Wednesday: Offered every Wednesday, adoption fees for dogs and cats 7 months of age and older are 100% waived. To date, 220 pets have been adopted as part of our Wags & Whiskers Wednesday promotion.
Learn about all of Hawaiian Humane’s adoption specials and events at HawaiianHumane.org/ adoptions.
Groups That Give Back
Mahalo to the Pepsi Co. Hawai‘i team, who volunteered with us in March at our Kosasa Family Campus at Ho‘opili. In addition to beautification and maintenance projects, they also assisted with prepping dog and cat enrichment items, as well as adoption packets. They even got an impromptu neonate foster kitten training session!
In addition, several groups supported our fundraising efforts at our annual Tuxes & Tails: A Tail of Two Cities gala, including First Hawaiian Bank and the Holiday Inn Express Waikīkī by assisting with check-in, running items for the silent and live auction, and ensuring the event went smoothly. Mahalo to all who joined us and made this such a memorable evening in support of O‘ahu’s pets in need!
