BODHI
Bohdi is looking for a new home! Through no fault of his own, his current owner feels it's best to rehome him as he is quite active and needs someone who can keep up with his energy levels.
Bohdi is a 2 year old, neutered male, up to date on all of his vaccinations, heartworm, and flea and tick treatments.
This bouncy boy loves people and other dogs. He is a heeler/hound mix and is very tempted to chase cats and chickens so he wouldn't do well in a farm environment. He is used to being an indoor/outdoor dog, always inside at night in his cozy bed. Bohdi loves to run and would do great with someone who is active, running, hiking, and going to the beach.
If you would like more information on Bohdi, please call KARES at 808-333-6299.

SUMMER
Summer is a sweet, 6-7 year old hound mix who was abandoned up in Kaloko. She was found starving earlier this summer and the neighbors in the area came together to save this gentle girl.
Summer has now gained weight and has become more sure of herself. She loves to go to the beach and for car rides. Summer is fine around cats and other dogs and loves people.
Summer sometimes paces when she's anxious but settles down quickly when she knows she is safe. She has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and is heartworm negative.

CHEEZ-IT
Cheez-it needs a new home. Cheez-it was found in 2020 behind a church in Kappau. He wouldn't go near anyone except for the kids at the church who would feed him Cheez-It crackers, hence his name. KARES volunteers were able to trap him, get him used to people and into what we thought would be his forever home. Sadly his owner has relinquished him to KARES due to medical reasons.
Cheezy is a sweet boy but given his change in circumstances, needs someone who can be patient and loving with him until he is comfortable in his new surroundings.
Cheez-it is approximately 3 years old, is neutered and microchipped. Please call KARES at 808-333-6299 for more information.

KEOKI
Keoki is a male dog, approximately 1-2 years old. This sweet boy was found as a stray and sadly no one has claimed him. We believe he is a mix of lab, heeler, and hound. Keoki is very smart and learns quickly. He loves to play and is great with other dogs. He seems inclined to chase cats and chickens.
This bright-eyed boy would love to have a family who will take him on all their adventures. Keoki is food motivated which has helped him to learn how to walk properly on a leash. Leash equals treats! Yay!
Keoki is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative. He is currently about 38 pounds but needs to gain a little weight to fill out.
If you would like to meet Keoki, please call KARES at (808) 333-6299.

PRINCESS
My name is Princess and I'm ready to be your best friend!!
You might just see me as a blue pit bull, but I'm pure love! I was rescued from living on a chain and was so skinny, they didn't think I would make it! My rescuers have shown me love and affection and I've discovered I'm a big cuddler! I enjoy a nice run or brisk walk! I love to ride in the car and I don't mind big or small dogs as long as I'm properly introduced. I do okay with cats and farm animals, I'm not that interested in checking them out.
I'm good with kids and women, but if you're a big guy, you'll need to give me a minute to feel comfortable.
I am about 2 years old, spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Please call KARES at 808-333-6299 to meet me!

OREO
Oreo is a volunteer favorite. He's so sweet, loves people, and going on walks. He deserves to be in a loving home because he's a great dog. Oreo is an approximately 8 to 11 year-old large, neutered Mixed-Breed. He is a big hunk of love, who would be perfect for someone looking for a couch potato, but is also spry for his age! He’ll comfort you when you are sad and put a smile on your face with his goofy grin.
Oreo came back to us from a home where he was much loved but one day showed too much interest in the landlady’s peacocks. His adopter was very sad and hopes he will soon find a forever home without peacocks.
Oreo is good with some dogs (he currently shares a living space with Odin) and could probably learn to live with cats, but is not good with chickens.
If you would like more information about Oreo, please call KARES at 333-6299.

ROSIE
Sweet and affectionate is the best description of Rosie. She has the cutest ears, one flops down while the other is up! Rosie is approximately 7-8 year old pittie mix. She is a solid lovebug who just wants to lounge around and get her fair share of belly rubs!
Rosie is great with adults and kids and does okay with other dogs as long as she is properly introduced. She is spayed and microchipped. If you are looking for a couch companion, Rosie might be your girl!

RUTH
Ruth and her puppy were found after being dumped in a trash pile alongside the highway. Ruth was starving, her skeleton showing, and she had numerous sores on her body. When her rescuer found her, she gratefully accepted help and immediately fell asleep in the car. At her foster home, she laid on a towel, weak and exhausted, weighing only 32 pounds.
Six weeks later, after lots of food and special love, Ruth weighs 46 pounds. Her body has healed, and she is a happy and healthy medium sized dog. She has been vaccinated and spayed. Ruth is crate and house trained, walks well on leash, is good with other dogs and with children, a great watchdog, and enjoys riding in the car. We think she is about three years old, and could be part of the heeler, black cur, or Catahoula clan. Ruth just wants to be loved and to forget the unpleasant times in her past life. Could you be the “special person” in her life who makes that tail wag?
Please call KARES at 808-333-6299 to find out more information about Ruth!

He was dumped like so many others. His deaf brother has been adopted, but Miles is still waiting for his forever family. Miles is approximately 3 years old and about 45 lbs.
He is neutered and microchipped.
Miles is great with other dogs/cats/chickens/ducks/sheep/goats. He still gets scared of loud noises and new people and will often hide under the house when he encounters either. He is EXTREMELY loving and deserves a home that can be understanding and patient. Would do great with another dog!

HERA
Hera (aka Momma) is ready for her forever home. She was secured after wandering in Hawaiian Acres for a few weeks and sadly we haven't had any luck finding anyone looking for her. We don't know much about where she came from or her history, but she's come a long way from the woeful dog she was when we found her. She's just over 50 lbs, 3-4 years old, heartworm negative, and recently spayed - no more litters for her! She's discovered the wonderful world of peanut butter treats and ear scratches, and is ready for a family that will love her like she deserves.
Hera is quite a goofball, very sweet with the best smile, and pitter-patters her toes when she gets excited. She is content and calm with daily exercise.
Hera is very smart, eager to please, and could quickly become a great pet. Since she's been with her foster humans, she hasn't met a person she doesn't like, although she is not fond of cats or chickens.
She is feeling much better, but her current foster situation isn't ideal. We are hoping to find a forever home quickly, or at least another foster that is better suited to continue helping Hera be a great addition to a family.
