My story

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

Aloha! The name’s Kaipo, which in Hawaiian means “beloved”...so yes, that basically makes me the most lovable guy you’ll ever meet. I’m a 2 year old Hound Whippet mix and, let’s be honest, I’m a real head-turner. My sleek coat and handsome face might make you do a double-take. I’m super sweet, loving, and absolutely adore affection and pets. I’m eager to learn and love being around people, especially those who will give me lots of love and attention. I’m looking for an active family who will take me on walks, adventures, and continue helping me grow into the best boy I can be. I get along with other dogs too, so we can have some fun together. Whether you’re on Kauai or ready to fly me to the mainland, I’m ready to be your beloved companion, give endless cuddles, and bring aloha to every day. Adopt me, and life will be brighter, happier, and a little more Kaipo. Schedule a meet and greet today or walk in anytime from 12 PM - 4:30 PM, except Thursdays.

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.
