I helped one of the foster families with the kittens they were fostering while I was staying with them. I fell in love with two of the kittens, and they have helped me with every step of the process.

I love the dog for a day program( I think they call it something else) that allows people to get a shelter dog out of the shelter for the day, it’s awesome. The cleanliness of the kennels was questionable at best. however the receptionists were all very friendly and helpful. And the doggies are always awesome always. They give you treats to give the dogs when you walk through. I hope Gremmie gets adopted soon. She is an awesome well mannered small dog.

My personal experience since the changes to the name society, they don't accept pets. Especially kittens Because they don't have the space. I have tried other places like rainbow friends. They, too, don't have a spaces to take any. And everything has to be done over online through appointments.

Great service there for spay and neuter procedure on long waiting list. If you're lucky to get a call or text from it's veterinary clinic. By the way, there is safe distance protocols in the light of our continuing pandemic.

My experience is from a few years ago, but I'm still traumatized by it today. I rescued 2 young cats from the side of an empty road, shivering in the rain at night and took care of them for two weeks, using my own money for food/supplies. They were scared but in two weeks time became friendly, so that I felt they could be adopted since I couldn't keep them. I surrendered them to HIHS along w/$100 donation, trusting they would be taken care of, but not long after they told me they ran tests and were HIV or Felv + and would put to sleep asap. I said I would take them back or Rainbow Friends would take them but they refused to allow it. *Be aware--if you take them an animal, it might be put down.

I have been going here for years in kona and keaau. They will pick up clear in naalehu. I have gotten 2 older dogs in kona 20yrs ago and 2 older cats 10yrs ago i still have the cats. Their animals have everything you need to start a healthy pet family. I have always gone to animal shelters they are the best pets ever its as if they know their wanted when you get them. The employees are the best too

The Bark Park is a great resource. However, the access gate is locked many times during their advertised "open" hours and days(7 days a week from 8-10 am and 3-5Pm) it is difficult to get any of the employees attention to unlock the gate and/or they ignore any attempt to ask them to open it. if you do luck- out and get someone's attention, they will open it and act surprised that it is locked. ?? It is hit and miss when you arrive, if it will be open as advertised. It would be a great place if it was consistently open when they say it will be. Many times I've had to just leave with a very disappointed dog, when nobody was around to unlock the gate. Good luck if you go!

Let's just say 11 years ago we adopted 2 dogs from here, and we provided a great home and love in oahu. We just moved to hilo on Jan 4th and before we came here I put in multiple applications for 2 different puppies, on Friday I called this place to confirm that they still had puppies because we wanted to adopt one or two. Not ONCE did the lady on the phone advise that we weren't allowed to purchase 2 puppies at a time, nor did she mentioned before even brining a pet home the application has to be confirmed on their site (which I completed a couple weeks before we moved), plus it will take like 3 days before even bringing the puppy home.That aside, we walked in with our 2 boys excited to bring a puppy home, and when we went to the counter the lady out right said we won't be able to take a puppy today due the one million reasons that she mentioned which made no sense and made it seem like I had no Idea what liter syndrome meant. My sons were bent outta shape because of those words. FYI, next time, talk to me and not to everyone else in the room behind me.We purchased dogs from humane society countless years and to have to be turned down because we are not a right fit family for puppies is like a slap in the face especially when we bought our 2 puppies from this place at the same time. I feel this decision was more based on a personal choice on my response to the first lady I spoke to, instead of hearing what questions I had she kept telling me that we couldn't have two puppies due to litter syndrome. We understand littermate syndrome, but when you take correcrive actions and extensive training with your dogs, that won't happen as we do our own. Do we all really know their personalities? No, but as the owners, it's our due diligence to teach them right from wrong. Studies are saying "littermate syndrome" is not even a real thing. We label problems with two young dogs as "having Littermate Syndrome," because we absolve ourselves from the responsibility to fix problems that humans created and can't resolve. See, the problem isn't the dogs. The problem is peoples ability to address their individual needs. It's easier to label a syndrome than to just give more TLC and understand stand them.On that note, you sent me this email the day after saying I'm not a fit? So much for waiting 3 days and calling to see if we are a fit when we meet with the counselor.That is ok! I went to Rainbow friends animal sanctuary and we rehomed a dog, and someone just so happily allowed us to rehome their 2 puppies that were left at their front door This place is such a disappointment. Going forward, I will not recommend this place to anyone anymore. Even though my 2 other dogs came from here, and we love them dearly. This place will be the last on my list now, not #1 it took less then 24hrs for them to tell my family we are not a fit before even giving us the chance.The slogan should not be providing them a good home. The lady after us asked for 2 kittens, and you were gladly open to having her adopt them after she just mentioned her current cats' lack of health for many reasons that did not match up! Go figure! The care you give for cats is not the same as dogs? Why is that? Should we not give the animals all the same care, love, and treatment? Seems like it's a preference here and bad choices!I'm done venting, but if you are looking for dogs and puppies there are many other adoption places to go that will give you better service then this place its sad that I recommended this place to a bunch of families and they actually said they were turned down too and got their dogs else where. Please feel free to share your family requirements and what makes the best families for these animals? All these people are opening their homes, and you're denying it, but crying that you have no shelter space.......this could be one of the biggest reasons.Look where you lack the experience, which is assumptions and judgment!

Our experience with the Kea’au Humane Society and their entire human and pet ‘Ohana was exemplary!! They give so much love and attention to the animals they care for and it shows! We just adopted the sweetest girl today (Christmas Eve ‘22) and I am 100% convinced that her loving temperament is a direct reflection of the care this team shows!Thank you, thank you, thank you!! You made a six year old’s Christmas dream come true!Happy Holidays!!!!The De La Paz ‘Ohana

Went with the family and brought home a 2 month old male Pharoah bloodhound-terrier puppy named Fruitcake. The process was so easy and the gal that helped us was very tedious with the entire adoption from when I applied online--To the phone call and when we got to the site-- she remembered who I was and it was a great experience overall! My daughter is ? happy and so is the rest or the family. We adopted a healthy 2month old energetic ? puppy whom is now a part of our ohana! Support our local humane society!!

Individualized attention to me as the customer, giving the best Black Friday deal: two 6month old cats in addition to $100 of pet goods at 10% discount! ????⬛ Keaau’s Hawaii island Human Society delivered above and beyond care to the animals too! It’s very obvious these people live to provide the service they do and they take pride in what they are offering to the island (animals, Aina and people)
