Thank you all so much for letting me spend time with Mohina, the three legged doggie. She was such a sweetheart and well mannered. I hope she finds a home soon. You all are awesome for the stuff you do. Paige helped me out the most. Thanks again. Hopefully I'll be seeing you all soon.

I took Captain, an adorable Labrador-bully mix, on a field trip, and he was the sweetest companion. He didn’t bark once and was incredibly gentle with everyone he met. Captain is ready for his forever home, and anyone would be lucky to have him as part of their family.

The staff was also amazing and so helpful. Their dedication to providing top-notch care and finding the animals loving homes is truly inspiring. You can tell how much they genuinely care about each and every one of them.

One of the best humane society organizations I've ever experienced. I took a beautiful pup on a field trip for the day. It's a great experience for adopters and for the fur baby. He was adopted shortly after our field trip.
Excellent and caring staff too!

We visited to take a shelter dog on a field trip, and were very impressed with the gorgeous, welcoming facility and staff.

We absolutely fell in love with our field trip dog, Harley! Please consider adopting from here-they will even ship your new pet to you 💜

We were looking for something unusual to do for the day because we had done several of the must see things and still had a week left here. We found the humane society posting about taking dogs out for a field trip for the day and thought that would be fun since we all hade pets at home we missed. It’s such an easy thing to do, you’re getting the animals out of their usual surroundings and you’re also exposing them to the public which increases their chances of getting adopted!
The staff is great there! They provide lots of info, directions and the dog gets their own prepared backpack equipped with lots of stuff to make for a happy day including water, treats, seatbelt and even adoption info to hand out if anyone is curious. I highly suggest doing this as you can take them for a couple hours or the whole day!

Humane Society is my hero! I am a senior with less income than I used to have and wanted to spay my female dog, to ensure no more puppies. The Vet wanted around $500, which I just couldn't afford. Humane Society to the rescue! For a $50 donation, I could get my fur baby, Phoebe, spayed. I was able to donate more than $50, but was so grateful for the fabulous, caring, professional services. Spay coordinators Rhanie and Aimee, took care of all the details, and were so warm and caring, and tenderly cradled my fog, before and after surgery. All the staff and volunteers were truly fabulous. And the Humane Society campus is so beautiful...from the dog parks to the Welcome and Education Center. It was exciting to see the hospital, under construction, too. Our Humane Society provides so many great services, and I am proud to be a supporter!

We were visiting from the mainland and wanted to take a dog from the shelter on a field trip. If you can, do it. Its rewarding to be able to take a pup out on an adventure help them socialize and hopefully get noticed for an adoption. Also if your missing your doggo while on vacation it helps satisfy that until you can get back to your pup. We took our Melody. She was mellow and peaceful. Never once barked and was a lover, hopefully she gets adopted soon. The facility was amazing. They are doing great things on the big island!

This was a lovely, open-air shelter where the dogs and cats and other animals were all extremely calm and complacent. Coming from a place that houses up to 500 cats and 350 dogs, seeing such a small but caring establishment was extremely refreshing. All the cats were friendly and all the dogs seemed incredibly happy. If you need to adopt an animal in Kona, I would highly recommend these guys!
