Story
Milo is a 6 year old black lab mix. He is very loving, loves cuddles, and being outside. He has lived with another dog for 4 years and loved her but he is territorial and doesn’t like other dogs. We are looking to rehome him because we recently had a baby and had to put down our other dog and cannot give him the attention he deserves. He is great with kids and people. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Story
He is a 5-year-old German Shepherd who is intelligent, energetic, loyal, and very attached to the people he trusts. He is an active dog who enjoys being outside, exploring, playing, and spending time with his people. He would do best with an experienced and patient owner who understands German Shepherds or other working breeds and can provide consistent training, structure, exercise, and attention. During the first few days or weeks after adoption, he may be anxious or nervous while adjusting to a completely new environment, routine, and people. He needs patience and time to decompress. A calm environment, consistent routine, and slower introduction to new people and surroundings will help him become comfortable and build trust. He has a lot of energy and a strong prey drive, so his new owner should be comfortable managing an active dog and continuing his training. He can also experience separation anxiety and may become destructive when stressed or left alone for extended periods. H

Story
I orginally got Maka from a coworker who needed to rehome him. He's a shar pei mix from what I was told. I have had him for the last 7 years. He's really good with kids - has never bitten any of my three kids (my youngest is 3 years old). Loves to cuddle. Has a lot of energy and loves to run, walk, and play. I am looking for someone who will give him a loving home and will be able to take him in as soon as possible. My new landlord will not allow me to keep him and today is my last day for my old home.

Story
Meet S. Walker!S. Walker is a 2-year-old hound mix who came to us as a stray from Wahiawa. This quirky, lovable boy is looking for a patient, active family who can help him gain confidence and show him just how wonderful the world can be! S. Walker is still figuring out this whole leash-walking thing. He enjoys trotting along beside you, but he’s also easily distracted by all the sights, sounds, and smells around him. Don’t be surprised if he suddenly hits the brakes to take everything in! He’s a little awkward right now, but that’s all part of his journey. Give S. Walker about 10 minutes to hang out with you, and you’ll start to see little glimpses of the fun, adventurous personality hiding underneath his initial uncertainty. With time, patience, and a person willing to teach him the ways of the world, we think this handsome hound will really blossom. S. Walker would thrive with an active family who enjoys exploring and is ready to help him build confidence one adventure at a time. From mauka to makai, this boy is ready to discover it all!Come meet S. Walker at our Moili`ili Campus today and give this sweet, quirky guy a chance to show you who he really is!
