Story
🐾💚 Meet Olive 💚🐾 Olive is a beautiful 5-year-old, 63 lb Pit Bull girl who is brand new to our rescue and already showing us just how fun and spirited she is. Playful, curious, and full of personality, Olive brings that classic pittie joy everywhere she goes. Because she’s still settling in, we’re being thoughtful and intentional about learning what environments she’ll thrive in. Slow, respectful introductions to other dogs are a must, and careful handling is always our top priority as we get to know her better. At this time, we’re unsure how Olive does with kids, so we feel she may do best in a home with older children or adults, along with a patient adopter who understands the importance of slow transitions and clear boundaries. With the right structure and introductions, Olive has so much potential to be an incredible companion. ✨ About Olive 🐶 Female Pit Bull 🎂 5 years old ⚖️ 63 lbs 🎾 Playful and full of life 🐕 Slow, patient dog introductions recommended 🏡 Best suited for older kids or adults 🤍 Safety and care always come first Olive is still writing her story, and we’re excited to learn more about who she is as she decompresses. If you’re experienced, patient, and looking for a playful, loving dog to grow with, Olive may be the one. 🐾💚 📍 Aloha ʻIlio Rescue 📧 officeteam@alohailiorescue.com 📞 (808) 960-1704 🌐 www.alohailiorescue.com

🐾✨ Meet Ginger! And no, she never stops smiling ✨🐾 Ginger is a 2-year-old, 43 lb Terrier / Pit Bull mix who just joined us after coming from animal control. She’s brand new to the rescue, but one thing is already crystal clear, Ginger is special. 🤍 So far, she’s shown us nothing but green flags: 💚 Sweet and affectionate 💚 Gentle with people 💚 Calm, loving energy 💚 Open-hearted and trusting And that’s exactly why we’re being urgent about finding her a home. Shelters/rescues are incredibly loud, stressful, and overwhelming environments for dogs. Even the happiest, most well-adjusted ones. Prolonged time in a shelter can cause: • Heightened anxiety • Shutdown or fear-based behaviors • Changes in confidence and personality • Stress-related habits that weren’t there before Dogs like Ginger, who are naturally loving and gentle, feel this stress deeply. The longer they stay, the more it can dim the very qualities that make them so wonderful. We want to protect Ginger’s spirit, not watch it fade. She deserves: 🏡 A safe place to decompress 🤍 Consistent love and reassurance 🐾 A chance to show who she truly is, not who stress forces her to become Ginger doesn’t need fixing. She doesn’t need saving from herself. She just needs a home. If you’ve been thinking about adopting, this is your sign! 📩 Apply to adopt or learn more: 🌐 www.alohailiorescue.com Let’s give Ginger the soft landing she deserves. 🐾

Story
🐾💚 Meet Pickles! 💚🐾 Pickles is a 2-year-old, 53 lb Terrier / Pit Bull mix who recently came into our care from animal control and the moment we met her, we just knew. This girl is something special. ✨ Much like Ginger, Pickles found herself in a shelter/rescue environment through no fault of her own. While shelters do the best they can, they’re loud, overstimulating, and stressful, especially for dogs who are naturally loving, sensitive, and eager to connect. And Pickles? She’s exactly that. 🤍 So far, she’s shown us all green flags: 💚 Friendly and affectionate 💚 Gentle and people-oriented 💚 Curious, sweet, and resilient 💚 Ready to bond with her person Dogs like Pickles shine brightest in homes, not kennels. Extended shelter stays can slowly chip away at confidence and alter behavior, not because the dog is “difficult,” but because stress changes everything. We want to protect who Pickles is at her core before shelter life has a chance to dim her light. Pickles deserves: 🏡 A calm place to decompress 🐾 Consistency and reassurance 🤍 A family who sees her potential and heart We stepped in because we believe deeply that these dogs deserve better and we know their people are out there. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to adopt, let this be it. Pickles is ready to leave the shelter chapter behind and step into a future filled with love, safety, and belonging. 📩 Apply to adopt or learn more: 🌐 www.alohailiorescue.com Let’s get Pickles home. 🐾💛

Story
New year new start and I am ready to make it official. I am Keaka, twelve years young, with a cute grey face and exceptional little fold over ears that somehow make everyone smile. I lost my home because of housing rules, not because I did anything wrong, and I am still very much here to charm my way into yours. I know sit and shake, walk nicely, love people, and get along great with other dogs, all while bringing calm cozy energy wherever I land. My New Year’s resolution is simple find a couch, a walking buddy, and someone who wants a loyal gentleman who plans to keep showing off his tricks well past January!

Meet the fabulous Puainako! 🌟 This 2-year-old lovable mix of Pit Bull Terrier, Catahoula Leopard Dog, and a sprinkle of Irish Wolfhound magic is like a big bundle of joy wrapped in a fluffy package! Weighing in at a sturdy 50 lbs, he’s got the heart of a gentle giant and the playful spirit of a puppy! 🐶💖 Now, let’s talk about this charming fella! Puainako is one sweet, silly goofball who’s always ready to spread joy. He adores people and gets along splendidly with other dogs, although he might not quite be aware of his size—get ready for some enthusiastic jumping and kisses! 💋 If you like a furry friend that brings laughter into your life, Puainako is the one! He simply loves to play fetch, although he’s still working on mastering the “bring it back” part. But hey, who needs perfection when you’ve got a heart full of love and a face that melts hearts? ❤️ Plus, he’s a food lover, so prepare yourself for some adorable puppy eyes when mealtime rolls around! Now, a little note: Puainako hasn’t had his shots yet, but not to worry! He’ll either be all set with vaccinations before adoption or come with an appointment to get fixed and chipped—so you’ll have a healthy, happy companion ready to go! 🩺✨ If you’re searching for a loyal, energetic buddy who’ll keep you smiling (and maybe sneak a snack or two), look no further than Puainako! Ready to meet your new best friend? Hit apply and let’s get started! 🐾 Located in Hilo, fill out an adoption application for more info or to meet him!
