Plucky Para-Pup Strawberry Shortcake

Hope Fund Stories

Strawberry Shortcake came to Maui Humane Society after being found scooting around a cul-de-sac on her own without the use of her legs. Maui Humane Society veterinarian Dr. Fitz fashioned a temporary wheelchair for this plucky para-pup and she LOVED being able to get around!

We asked for your help to get her a custom-fitted wheelchair so that she could enjoy a second chance at life on the go. Donations to the Hope Fund made it happen!

Soon after she got her wheelchair, Strawberry Shortcake found Mr. Right in local veterinary technician Frank, who was ready and willing to care for this special needs girl.

Today Strawberry Shortcake is living her best life on two paws and two wheels. She goes everywhere with her person, who supports her overall health with physical therapy and all the snuggles she can handle.

Donations to the Hope Fund make it possible for Maui Humane Society to go above and beyond what is typically possible to provide life-saving and quality-of-life improving care to Maui’s homeless animals. Grant second chances by making a gift today!

Tommy Boy was attacked by a machete in a parking lot in Paia. His bone-deep lacerations were across his forehead, across his back, and the tip of his tail. If Tommy Boy didn’t receive the immediate help from first-responders, our Humane Enforcement Officers and our on-call emergency Veterinarians, Tommy Boy would have knocked on death’s door. Thanks to our dedicated staff and volunteers to help him heal over the past 2 months, Tommy Boy has made a full recovery. Donate to help offset the cost of Tommy Boy’s medical expenses and care.

Oscar the Cat came to us when his caretaker had to move and there was no one left to care for him. He had some growths on his nose that turned out to be cancerous – common with cats who spend a lot of time in the sun.
