Please send donations to KaresHawaii.org/donate to donate towards Rucas surgery! (Add in memo for Ruca)
“Calling all Dachshund and animal lovers! Please help Ruca recover from a brutal attack. Ruca is a sweet 3 year old pup who loves to play with his big bros and our kitten. Ruca went missing for 30hrs and when I found him he had a completely broken and swollen leg yet he still wagged his tail and smiled at me happy to be found. Ruca was likely kicked or hit with something from a passerby who crosses our private roads.
This poor gal was spotted by a tour bus driver and a van full of tourists.
When they tried to lift her what they saw is a 10" long by 2" deep gash on her other side. Probably a pig gore. She is in a lot of pain, terrified and probably wouldn't survive the night. A KARES' volunteer jumped into action and with the help of our wonderful tourists they managed to secure her in a crate. She is on her way to Vet Associates for emergency surgery. KARES needs your financial help.
It's been a very expensive week for us already. Please pitch in any amount, even a few dollars will help us help her and others that need KARES.
Also, she looks like she just had pups. We may need a foster or forever home once she pulls through. Kareshawaii.org/donate
Mahalo! If interested in adopting please call 333-6299!
​
Update:
What a strong, brave pup! She made it through surgery. Doctor said she has a very
good disposition, a real sweetie pie. Any takers? Please call us at 808-333-6299.
KARES Is Looking for Fosters & Forever Homes!
Puppies. Adults. Seniors. Cats. Kittens. Couch potatoes. Adventure buddies. KARES has animals waiting for all kinds of homes.
​
Looking for a running or hiking buddy? Call us!
​
Prefer a couch potato who thinks a perfect afternoon involves you, the sofa, and absolutely no plans? Call us!
​
Want a puppy to grow with your family? An adult dog who is ready to settle in? Or a senior who just wants a comfortable place to spend their golden years?
​
Maybe you're more of a cat person? We have cats and kittens looking for loving homes, too!
​
KARES currently has more than 20 dogs in foster care, ranging from puppies to seniors, with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, sizes, and backgrounds.
​
Some came to us because their families could no longer care for them. Others were abandoned, found as strays, or simply had circumstances change around them.
​
These animals aren't used up. Their stories aren't over. They're just ready for the next chapter — and they're hoping it includes you.
​
Every KARES animal is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for a fresh start.
​
Foster or Adopt — Both Make a Difference
​
KARES is a foster-based rescue. We don't have a shelter building with rows of kennels, which means the number of animals we can help depends on people in our community opening their homes.
​
When a KARES animal is adopted, a foster space opens for another animal in need. When someone volunteers to foster, we can say YES to another animal who needs help.
​
Not sure who would be the best fit? That's okay — call us. Tell us about your family, your lifestyle, and what you're looking for. We know our animals and can help you find the one who might be right for you.
​
