Now through January 2, you can make a positive impact in Maui’s community by becoming a “Foster for the Holidays” which provides a temporary warm, cozy, and safe environment home for a pet in need during the holiday season. Maui Humane Society currently has 340 animals in their care, with over 100 dogs.
There’s another animal overpopulation issue on Maui. Maui Humane Society says it’s actually a guinea pig and rabbit problem, and right now, has over 50 of the small animals. It has capacity for only 20.
Maui Humane Society is bringing kittens, bunnies and guinea pigs to an In-store Mobile Adoption Event at our local Petco Store in Kahului on Friday, July 15, from 12:00-2:00. Kittens, bunnies and Guinea Pigs will be located just inside the store entrance, next to the Cat Habitat kennels. All animals will be by donation only!
The BISSELL Pet Foundation is hosting its “Empty the Shelters” event and the Maui Humane Society will be participating. This summer adoption event will start Monday, July 11 through Sunday, July 31. All adoptions are by donation only.
Maui Humane Society has received substantial surrender increases in guinea pigs and rabbits, unlike anything they have seen before. The shelter has surpassed capacity and temporary habitats have been built to accommodate the unforeseen increase. Maui Humane Society is offering a free vaccination clinic to the public for rabbits on July 23rd from 9am-3pm at Maui Humane Society.
Maui Humane Society is teaming up with national nonprofit Petco Love and Skechers to focus on the fun in fostering pets, which is lifesaving and especially critical during the busy summer months. Fostering is free, and it can begin on the same day. Maui Humane Society is participating in the nationwide Foster Open House:
June 25, 11:30 a.m.: For those interested in fostering dogs, puppies or Wings of Aloha fosters. Wings of Aloha is a donation-funded program that takes shelter animals and flies them to the mainland United States for adoption.
June 26, 11:30 a.m.: For those interested in fostering cats, kittens or critters (bunnies and guinea pigs)
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.
Join us at Petco in Kahului from 11am-1pm on Saturday, April 16th for a mobile adoption event! The Community Outreach team along with dedicated volunteers will be there with some of our adoptable dogs and ready to answer questions you may have. Along with the pups, there will be cats and kittens ready to be adopted and walk straight into your heart and your ohana!
