My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Dear Friends of Aloha Ilio Rescue,

We want to take a moment to introduce you to a very special member of our rescue family, Gracie. Gracie is currently in the loving care of one of our hospice fosters, and although her time with us may be limited, every day is filled with comfort, love, and tenderness.

Meet Gracie:
Gracie came to Aloha Ilio Rescue after a long life filled with challenges. She had been through difficult times and had lived many years without the care she deserved. When she arrived, Gracie was in need of more than just medical treatment — she needed peace, warmth, and a loving home to live out her remaining days. Despite the health challenges she faces, Gracie still shows a spark of joy in every little moment — whether it’s a gentle belly rub, the warmth of the sun on her fur, or a quiet moment snuggling with her foster family. Gracie may not have much time left, but she is making the most of every second surrounded by love and comfort.

What is Hospice Foster Care?
Hospice foster care is one of the most important services we provide. It’s not about trying to “fix” or “cure” the dogs — it’s about offering them a peaceful, loving environment where they can live out their remaining days with dignity and care. For Gracie, this means gentle walks, special meals, and as much love as we can give her. While her time here may be short, every day is meaningful and filled with the joy of knowing that she is loved and cared for.

How You Can Help:

Even though Gracie is receiving the best care possible, she and other dogs like her still need support. Here’s how you can help:

Donations: Your generous donations go directly toward providing the specialized care and medications Gracie and others need. Every contribution makes a difference in their comfort and well-being.

Sending Love: While we can’t predict how much time Gracie has left, we can ensure she knows she is cared for. You can send her a card or message of love to brighten her days.

Sharing Gracie’s Story: Help us raise awareness for hospice care by sharing Gracie’s journey. The more people know about our mission, the more support we can offer to dogs like her.

Thank You for Supporting Gracie and All Our Rescue Dogs:
At Aloha Ilio Rescue, we believe every dog deserves love, no matter their age or situation. Gracie’s journey may be quieter than most, but it’s just as important. Thank you for being part of her story and for helping us continue to provide compassionate care to dogs in need.

At Aloha Ilio, we strive to ensure every dog is matched up with an owner that is serious about the commitment adopting a dog entails, while at the same time ensuring that both parties are happy to become a family together. Above even our desire to rescue dogs is ensuring that those already under our care have the best quality of life possible. We strive to ensure our facilities stay clean, our dogs have the opportunity to stretch their legs, and all of them get the medical care and attention they deserve.
