My story

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

Poe is an 8-year-old male Pit Bull Terrier mix with a heart as big as his smile. He’s the kind of dog who settles right into your life — gentle, easygoing, and full of love to give.
Poe recently went on his very first Field Trip, and the family who spent the day with him couldn’t stop raving:
“He’s an absolute dream boat. Whoever ends up with him is lucky! He did great in the car, loose-leash walker, and he’s so gentle taking treats and getting belly rubs from everyone — including kids. I love him and hope he gets the best family.”
This sweet boy enjoys car rides, walks politely by your side, and never turns down affection. At 8 years old, he’s past all the puppy chaos and is ready for a calm, loving home where he can finally relax and be someone’s loyal best friend.
Poe has so much love to offer — now all he needs is a family to give it to. Come meet this handsome softie at the Kaua‘i Humane Society and see why everyone who meets him falls in love.

More about this shelter

The Kauai Humane Society was established by the community in 1952 as a local non-profit 501(c)(3) organization to protect Kauai’s animals. We opened our current home just west of Lihue in 2001 thanks to the generous support of many individuals, families, businesses and foundations. We are an independent animal welfare organization and not a chapter of any mainland or Hawaii group.

The Kauai Humane Society(KHS) is the only physical animal shelter in Kauai County, Hawaii. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with a government contract to allow KHS to provide services to Kauai County for humane field services for cats and dogs.

Our facility does not turn away any sick or injured cat or dog found on Kauai. We strive to not euthanize any healthy, adoptable, and/or treatable animals for space or treatable medical reasons.

In 2022, for the year overall, KHS achieved a Live Release Rate of 94.4%; meaning 94.4% of the animals that came into KHS during 2022 were released with a positive outcome of being adopted, returned to the owner, or transferred to a rescue group.
