Maui Humane Society’s community support program hits a milestone. 4EverPets has given out 30,000 pounds of pet food in the last eight months since it started.
The program gives free food and supplies to pet owners in need – with the goal of keeping pets in homes and helping families stay together during these challenging times. The shelter says it continues to see more surrendered animals because of owners moving off island, or moving into to housing that prohibits pets.

Overcrowding at Maui Humane Society has staff putting out a desperate plea to the public. KITV4 speaks with Jenny Miller, interim CEO, “This is unprecedented, the increase of intake year over year is crazy, the number of strays coming in is really high, there’s no rhyme or reason with the summer months, and our last option is to reach out to the public with a real plea and ask if anyone can help us.”
Brutus is 4 years old, he loves back scratches and toys that are squeaky. But he’s at-risk for being euthanized. “We have never come out to the community before to talk about euthanasia the way that we are now, and what we’re trying to do is increase our transparency to really showcase, we need help,” said Director of Marketing, Katie Shannon.
