Mahina’s Ohana Rescue

Aloha to all of our supporting pack!

We wanted to incorporate our Hawaii roots and the 'Aloha Spirit' into our small rescue. We welcome all dog breeds and sizes into our rescue Ohana. In Hawaii, family is the main foundation to the culture. As dogs being my family, they will always be our number one.

Our rescue always wants to raise awareness to the public on the on-going pet overpopulation crisis we are and have been facing. We will do our part to use our platform to advocate, educate, and promote to always choose adoption.

Additional adoption info

The adoption process:

1. Read our Adoption FAQ form in our linktree before applying for the puppy or dog you're interested in.

2. If we decide to move onto your adoption application, please wait 2-3 days for our adoption specialist to reach out to you regarding setting up an interview with our adoption specialist. An interview will give us a clear idea that the dog or puppy you applied for will fit your lifestyle.

3. After an interview, we will set up a meet & greet with the dog you applied for so that you as the potential adopter can get an idea if it will be pawfect match!

4. Setting up an in-person home visit with our adoption specialist. If adopter is applying out-of-state, a virtual home visit is recommended.

5. Adoption trial- We like to offer our potential adopters a 7-10 day adoption trial as an option before finalizing adoption. We have seen great results with adoption trials running a lot smoother rather than just placing a rescue dog into someone’s home and with the risk of adopters possibly changing their minds about being fully committed to the dog they applied for. Adoption trials allow potential adopters to make sure they are fully committed to the dog before finalizing the adoption.

6. Sign adoption contract/pay adoption fee- the last and final step of the adoption process is for the adoption coordinator to go over the adoption contract with adopters to ensure secure adoption before the dog will be under a new ownership. The adoption coordinator will go over the adoption contract to ensure adopters have a clear understanding that they will be taking the entire responsibility and ownership for life. The adoption contract is a legal binding that ensures that both parties are in agreement that the dog/dogs are being transferred to a permanent ownership.

We accept adoption fees through either Venmo, Paypal, or Zelle.
