Anticipating an influx of lost, sick and injured pets over the New Year’s Eve holidays, Maui Humane Society urgently seeks foster homes with 200 animals currently eligible to be placed. Anticipating the surge of lost and/or injured pets being brought in, MHS is asking the community to “step up and foster animals now, to provide a safe haven and allow space for the influx of incoming pets in need.”
Ahead of New Year’s celebrations, the Maui Humane Society is urging the public to help them foster some of its animals. There are about 200 animals at the humane society that are eligible for foster, and because there is no space, facility workers say some of the dogs sometimes have to sleep in office spaces. January second is the busiest day of the year for the humane society, which reported it receives an average of 33 lost pet reports between New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day each year.

On Saturday, December 16th Maui Humane Society is hosting our first Chip & Chill! The event will take place in the Maui Humane Society parking lot from 10am-1pm. We will be offering microchips, vaccines and sedatives for pets to help prepare them for the fireworks this coming New Years Eve.
On Tuesday, thousands of islanders throughout Hawai’i will be lighting up the sky for the upcoming 4th of July celebration, but one thing to consider is how to keep your pets safe and sane during this holiday. The Maui Humane Society has issued the following information to help residents keep their furry loved ones safe and sound.
Big holidays usually come with big events. For some, that big event is a fireworks’ show. Whether official fireworks shows or your neighbors firing some off, fireworks create fear and anxiety for the local wildlife as well as our pets. For pets and other animals, their sense of sound of smell is much more heightened than ours. Loud sounds like explosions are a terrifying experience, especially for those pets who are not nestled inside with their caretakers.
Katie Shannon of the Maui Humane Society joins Brigette Namata to talk about foster programs, pet care and how to protect your furry companion from the loudness of NYE fireworks.
