What can you do to help?
DONATE
There is a dire need for dog and cat food, wet and dry, to support our homeless community and no-kill sanctuary.
We are asking anyone who is able, to buy a bag or can of dog/cat food at the Kona Petco and leave it in our special Coronavirus Crisis Relief bin located at the registers.
If you would like to make a monetary donation, please please click on the Donate Now button.
Monthly and one-time donation options are available. All donations are tax deductible.
CONSIDER FOSTERING OR ADOPTING
Why not quarantine with a companion and try fostering?
Fosters and permanent homes are needed to lower the high euthanasia rate at Hawaii Island Humane Society (see our website for current statistics, the island kill rate is 10% higher than the national average)
