“This is a critical situation. We take our responsibility to rescue animals in need very seriously, and when shelter space is so limited, it is extremely challenging to do our jobs. We desperately need our community’s help.”
The Maui Humane Society released an urgent call for people to help foster animals as they prepare for a large-scale intake of dogs connected to a Humane Enforcement case. The shelter is already full, with zero open kennels, and they are hoping to make space to care for incoming animals, according to a news release.
Nearly one year after Lahaina wildfires, MHS is in need of the same community response as August 2023, foster families.
The kennel capacity for dogs at the Maui Humane Society has risen to a critical level, and the organization has issued an SOS for temporary foster homes.
Fostering is not a lifetime commitment, but it is a commitment to saving a life. With over 100 dogs in our care, dog fosters are KEY to saving a life! Meet our Dog Foster Team at Maui Humane Society on September 24th from 11am-2pm and start your fostering journey today! You’ll go home with all the supplies you need and find a foster dog that’s the doggone right match!
Maui Humane Society will also join shelters nationwide for the National Foster Pet Open House event by inviting the public to visit the shelter on Saturday, June 25 and 26 at 11:30 a.m. for an interactive foster meet-and-greet party for two-and four-legged friends. Those who attend will learn about the types of fostering available (long term, short term, emergency), meet available foster dogs, cats, kittens and critters, and can leave with a foster animal that day.
Have you ever thought about fostering but didn’t think it was for you? Maui Humane Society is hosting a Foster Open House at 11:30am on both June 25th and 26th to tell you all about how fostering saves lives! By offering your time, energy, love and home to an animal in need, you help prepare them for adoption into a permanent home, as well as creating valuable space in the shelter to accommodate other homeless animals. Fostering may be needed anywhere from a few days to a few months! Join us on June 25 and 26th and you could start your fostering journey that day!
