Hawai‘i Island Humane Society

Hours: Hawai‘i Island Humane Society's Animal Community Center (ACC) in Kona opened in August 2021 and offers a welcoming space for both animals and visitors. Situated on 12 acres, the ACC features three Dog Dorms for adoptable dogs and puppies, a Cat Barn for cats, kittens, and small mammals, and two public dog parks. A retail shop is also available, with all profits supporting shelter animals. Visitors share heartwarming experiences from the ACC, including adopting a playful kitten that brought joy and laughter to a family. The staff is praised for their kindness and helpfulness, offering valuable resources for caring for animals, including stray kittens. The humane society also organizes fun activities, such as field trips for dogs, allowing community members to take dogs out for the day. This initiative not only provides enrichment for the animals but also increases their chances of adoption. The dedication and passion of the staff and volunteers shine through in their efforts to nurture and find homes for animals. While the facility is beautiful, continued support through donations, fostering, and volunteering is essential to maintaining their mission. Overall, Hawai‘i Island Humane Society is a cherished place committed to animal welfare and community involvement.
