Story
We need to rehome our dog due to financial problems and another baby on the way. Haupia is a quiet timid dog who does not bark and only howls at emergency vehicle sirens. We hope she can get adopted by someone who can spend quality time with her and be able to be patient with her shyness.

Story
🐾 Meet Ferrari! ❤️ Ferrari is a 12-year-old Chihuahua mix whom I adopted from the Hawaiian Humane Society about 6–7 years ago. He has been a loyal and loving companion ever since. He is healthy, neutered, microchipped, house-trained, and has no medical issues. Ferrari is incredibly affectionate and happiest when he's cuddled up next to his favorite person. He loves Greenies, short walks, relaxing at home, and sleeping in his own bed (although he'd happily share yours!). 🥰 He would do best in a quiet home as the only pet, where he can enjoy his golden years with someone who has plenty of love to give. Since becoming a single mom to an active 11-month-old, I can no longer provide the calm environment he deserves. This has been an incredibly difficult decision, and I'm committed to finding him a loving forever home where he can be cherished for the rest of his life. ❤️🐾

Story
Luna is an amazingly sweet girl. She loves cuddles and playing, she is obsessed with walks. She’s also a lazy girl, she’ll lay around all day if you let her. She has been perfect with both of our kids, from infancy until now. Truth be told, we have zero desire to rehome her, but it has become an unfortunate necessity due to where I’m being sent for work. All I want is for her to go to a loving home where she will be treated exactly the same as she has been treated here. I’m not charging a rehoming fee because I don’t want to profit from something I’m forced to do. She will come with her crate, leash, and her toys, if you would like them, but it isn’t necessary for you to take them if you don’t need.

Story
I got bane from a neighbor that was moving to the mainland. He is 2yrs old. Looking for someone that has the time to train him. My partner and I work a lot and Bane is an energetic dog. He has some things he needs to work on it’s not his fault I think it’s unfair that we couldn’t put much time into his training. I think he would make a great hunting or guard dog.

Story
5 year old birthday was June 26th, very sweet and loving girl rottie, still very athletic and high energy, she wants to be someone's velcro dog and follow her human around all the time. She loves attention and treats and would be a great hiking or beach dog. Walks on leash well and knows basic commands. We are fostering her for now because previous owners could no longer keep her. She was a puppy from one of our female rottweiler's litter. She would do well with another male dog or being the only dog in the family. Looking for a loving home a new mommy or daddy who has time to spend taking her on daily walks or sometimes to the beach or hiking.
