A MESSAGE FROM ANNA
One of the things I enjoy in my role as president and CEO is hearing the stories of how people have been touched by our mission. Often it is by adopting a beloved family member, or by having had a visit from our education team while still in school, or by simply visiting our campus to delight in the company of the animals in our care. Whatever it is that led you to support the Hawaiian Humane Society, know that we are grateful for it. We could not do our work without you.
The Hawaiian Humane Society’s slogan, “People for Animals. Animals for People,” reflects our deep commitment to the humananimal bond. This commitment manifests in our policies, which strive to keep people and pets together; our priorities, such as expanding to two campuses to better serve our community; our advocacy, which protects animals against abuse and promotes a more pet-friendly community; and our educational programs, which teach that the compassionate and responsible care of animals develops caring humans.

Our commitment to the Socially Conscious Animal Community framework also enhances the human-animal bond through safe placements and post adoption support; and aligning shelter policies with the needs of the community.
