March – May 2011
A life saved, a life giving back Four-year-old Mumu, a loving and calm companion started her relationship with the Humane Society when she came to us as a stray from Aiea Heights in February 2010. We were ecstatic when she was adopted out, saddened when she was returned, thrilled when she was adopted once more, and heartbroken when she was returned again.
“Every time I walked by her she would look at me, not at anyone else. She couldn’t take her eyes off of me,”
says Chris, a former United States Marine. “She’s amazing. I love her.” Continued on page 2
Orphaned, her kennel mates adopted left and right around her for months, she still maintained her sweet disposition. Finally, in October, Chris Glarrow saw what we all saw in her. Chris suffers from anxiety and his doctor approved of him getting an animal companion to help. He chose to adopt. “I wanted to give a dog a second chance who didn’t have a home, to have one.”
2011 Pets in Paradise Winner Congratulations to Suzanne Nakano and her dog Kiko, whom we have named our 2011 Pet of the Year! This top pin-up pet, along with all the other entries, are on the Humane Society’s website.
Suzanne wanted to share Kiko’s winning place in this issue with a shelter animal. This is Oscar. He may have already been adopted, but many more animals are looking for homes.
