Aloha, humans! I’m Pepper, a 4-year-old Shih Tzu, professional good boy, and part-time heartthrob here at the Kaua‘i Humane Society. I’m the perfect 12 pounds of “take-me-anywhere” charm. I’m still polishing up my leash skills, and while I can be a little shy at first, all I really need is a patient family who helps me feel safe, loved, and right at home. Once I trust you, I’m the ultimate companion—the kind who improves your life just by existing. I’m on the lookout for a loving family who appreciates a fluffy sidekick with impeccable vibes. Whether you’re on-island or on the mainland, I’m fully prepared to pack my teeny suitcase and hop on a plane straight into your arms. Trust me… life is just better with this guy by your side.
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.
