Story
Catahoula/Airedale He’s about 8 years old Fixed (neutered) Chipped Gets excited but otherwise really mellow Super gentle with humans and other nice dogs. He has a faithful sidekick which is also up for adoption, a 4year old female pitbull dog named Lala who is not an alpha, just a joyful dog, also chipped and fixed… they both have been through life together.. the owner (my son) has difficulty with a traumatic brain/nerve injury and cannot afford to keep them and they are basically homeless, hard to find a place. Please help!!! My son would love to see them in a good home❤️ Mahalo!

Story
Mama Joanie’s love knows no limits 💔🐾 This brave girl gave everything she had — literally starving herself — just to keep her 7 puppies fed and safe. Her body may have been weak, but her spirit never wavered. 💪💛 Just look at her babies — 6 of them are pictured here, full, chubby, and thriving thanks to their selfless mama. 🐶🍼 Joanie’s story is a powerful reminder of a mother’s love, even in the toughest of conditions. They're all safe now. Mama and her litter of 7 are in loving hands, and we promise they’ll never know hunger or fear again. From here on out, it's full bellies, warm beds, and hearts overflowing with love. 🏡💕 If you feel called to give one of these precious souls a forever home, submit your online application — their next chapter starts with you. 🐕❤️ 📩 Contact us: Email: officeteam@alohailiorescue.com Phone: (808) 960-1704 Website: www.alohailiorescue.com
