In the footsteps of our founders When the Hawaiian Humane Society was founded in 1883, animal lovers came together as a small group of committed citizens determined to make Oahu a better place for animals. These early pioneers included King Kalakaua, Helen Kinau Wilder and other great leaders of our cause. They believed that they could spark a movement that would transform people’s relationship with animals. When you visit our busy campus in Moiliili, that spirit of compassion, care and charity has endured. A spirit that has been handed down from generation to generation by exceptional leaders. It can be found in the vibrant day-to-day life of our work. These values are what define us. They differentiate us. They inspire us. It is up to all of us to carry this vision forward. Our founders have given us ambition for our future which is our responsibility to realize. This is the foundation from which we plan to serve the next generation of animals and people to come. As we look ahead, we see a great need for expanded capacity, upgraded facilities and a stronger presence in west Oahu. While our board of directors pursues gifts for capital improvements towards those goals, we are so grateful for all the victories – both large and small – that you made possible.
