HONOLULU (KHON2) A vicious attack on a dog on Maui turned into a happy ending for the pup and its original owner three years after they were separated. Tommy Boy is a 7-year-old poi dog that was attacked with a machete in Paia in August 2022.

Maui Humane Society is struggling to find pet parents. They are desperately trying to find homes for not only their dogs, but their cats, bunny rabbits, even guinea pigs. “If you don’t have an outdoor space, cats are great to have. Same with our guinea pigs and our rabbits,” said Maui Humane Society Marketing and Communications Director Katie Shannon.
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – It was an emotional reunion for a dog slashed with a machete on Maui. Draped in lei at Maui Humane Society, “Tommy Boy” flew to Oahu on Tuesday and jumped into the arms of his owner at Honolulu’s airport. The two hadn’t seen each other in three years, ever since Tommy Boy was lost.
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.
The Maui Humane Society has been in SOS Foster mode for the past four weeks, allowing anyone to foster an animal without previous experience. While the community has helped get animals out of the shelter and into temporary homes, MHS is still at critical capacity levels.
Hawaii Public Radio: Maui Humane Society’s kennels have been over capacity for more than a year.
The shelter is overcapacity due to the high surrender and stray intake rates that spiked because of the pandemic.
Workers say there’s an especially large surge of dogs.
I’m in love again! OK, maybe not love, really; more like infatuation. Kimchi is her name and she is the cranky queen of Cat Cafe Maui!
The financial burden of rising costs is hurting pet owners.
Maui’s first cat cafe opened it’s doors on Monday at the Queen Ka’ahumanu Center in Kahului.
