HUI
Hu’i (Male, ~2 years, fixed)
Hu’i is a total loverboy and Ku’i’s self-appointed protector. A strong, stocky Pitbull mix (around 45 lbs), he’s a gentle giant with a huge heart and an even bigger appetite. Smart as a whip, playful, and affectionate, Hu’i is great with kids and full of charm. He watches over Ku’i like a big brother, and they’re inseparable.
Why Adopt Them Together?
Ku’i and Hu’i share a bond forged through hardship and healing. They comfort each other, play endlessly, and rest side-by-side every night. Separating them would be heartbreaking — their connection is something truly special.

Kapono - ADOPTED
Meet Suzie & Kapono – Double the Love, Double the Joy! 🐾💕
Say hello to Suzie and Kapono, an adorable duo of 12-week-old black Labrador Retriever puppies weighing in at about 10 pounds each. These two are bursting with curiosity, affection, and that irresistible puppy energy that makes every day a little brighter.
Suzie is the more inquisitive of the pair—always the first to investigate a new toy or follow you around the house with those soulful eyes and a wagging tail. She loves snuggles after playtime and will happily curl up in your lap for a well-earned nap.
Kapono, whose name means "righteous" or "good" in Hawaiian, lives up to his name with his gentle nature and sweet, mellow personality. He’s a cuddle bug at heart and loves to stick close to his people, making him a perfect companion for cozy nights and lazy Sunday mornings.
Whether adopted together or separately, Suzie and Kapono will thrive in loving homes that are ready for the joys (and a bit of chaos!) that come with raising a Lab puppy. They’re working on their potty training and learning new things every day—they just need a patient, consistent family to help guide them as they grow.
If you're looking for a loyal best friend (or two!), come meet Suzie and Kapono. Your heart—and your home—will thank you.
