Working toward
a safer community for animals A resource to the community, Society humane investigators respond to reports of animal abuse, barking and dangerous dog complaints, chicken and fowl nuisance issues and more. Although they are deputized by the Honolulu Police Department and are trained in law enforcement and mediation; education is at the heart of the Hawaiian Humane Society’s field services team’s everyday work. Keeping animals safe and with their families is a priority for humane investigators who educate pet owners regarding proper animal care and animal-related laws to ensure the best outcomes for people and their pets. On any given day community members can spot the Society’s rescue vehicles traveling the island of Oahu. Ten Hawaiian Humane Society humane investigators traveled more than 138,000 miles to provide services islandwide seven days a week, responding to thousands of animal related cases last year.
