Big Hearts Help Big!

Our Volunteer of the Month program recognizes outstanding volunteers that go above and beyond for the animals in our care. They are nominated monthly by fellow volunteers and staff members alike for their dedication, passion and commitment to our mission.

We asked Reina what her favorite part of her role is and she said, “I help to keep the grounds tidy. I like to think that my efforts for a day may help the staff and visitors feel a little bit better while walking around our beautiful campus.”

In January, Reina officially joined the Hawaiian Humane staff as an Adoptions Representative. We’re so happy to have her on our team!

“I worked and volunteered in several shelters and rescues on the mainland with special needs and chronically-ill cats so I really enjoy working with anxious cats to help them get used to their new environment, or shy cats so they feel confident to come out of hiding and show off their true nature. It helps them find their human and their home,” said Steve when asked what he loves about his role.

We asked Jenna what advice she would give to someone considering joining the volunteer team and she said, “JUST DO IT! There is a healing property in helping others. There may be a lot of reasons why not to, but what a way to give back to the community, the animals, Hawaiian Humane Society, and hey … you even get a little healing blessing for yourself.”
