BELLA
This gorgeous 5-year-old speckled Catahoula mix is about 55 pounds of personality and charm. Bella is confident, a little bossy at times (in the cutest way), and enjoys the company of other dogs. We're not sure how she feels about cats just yet, so a feline-free home might be best for now. She's the perfect mix of playful and independent—and she’s looking for someone who’ll appreciate her strong spirit and speckled beauty.
Think Bella might be your new best friend? Please call us at 808-333-6299 for more information.

KALIMA
Meet Kalima (aka Kali)!
Age: ~8 months | Weight: 20 lbs | Special Feature: Tripod Superstar
Kali is a resilient, spirited pup with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging! At just 8 months old, he’s already been through a lot—he lost a leg after a scary accident involving the back of a pickup truck (friendly reminder: please secure your pets!). But don’t let that fool you—Kali’s zest for life is unmatched.
This sweet boy is crate trained, sleeps through the night like a champ, and can be left in his crate for longer stretches if needed. He also loves the outdoors and enjoys sunbathing, sniffing around the yard, or simply being near his people. Kali’s favorite pastime? Playtime with other dogs! He’s social, playful, and yes—he’s a talker when he's having fun. (That happy bark means he's loving life!)
We’re not sure how he feels about cats just yet, but with proper introductions, anything’s possible. Kali's looking for a family who will love his spunky personality, support his continued recovery, and give him the secure, forever home he deserves.
If you’re ready to fall in love with a resilient little tripod who’ll inspire you every day—Kali’s your guy!

Pop’pi
Meet Moka and Pop’pi! These two adorable, four-month-old siblings were rescued just last week and are now ready to find their forever homes. They’ve been spayed and neutered and are up-to-date on all their medical care.
Moka (the boy) is a sweet, 15lb bundle of joy. He’s the ultimate cuddle bug who loves to snuggle up with you! Moka is also very smart and eager to learn, making him an ideal companion for someone who loves a playful yet affectionate pup.
Pop’pi (the girl) weighs in at 18lbs and is a little more independent than her brother, but still incredibly affectionate. She loves being around her people and is a great companion, though she’s a bit more reserved when it comes to cuddles. Pop’pi is also quite intelligent and quick to pick up new things, making her a great fit for an active home. While she’s a bit nervous around larger dogs, she’s cat-friendly and loves to be around other pets she feels safe with. Pop’pi also has a past that may make her a little hand shy, as it seems she’s been hurt before. With patience and love, she’ll continue to blossom into a confident and loving girl.
While Moka and Pop’pi would absolutely love to be adopted together, they’re also open to being placed in separate homes where they can each shine on their own. If you’re looking for two sweet, playful pups who will bring tons of love into your life, look no further!
If you're interested in adopting Moka, Pop’pi, or both, please reach out today – 333-6299. They’re ready to find their perfect family and make your life full of joy, love, and puppy kisses!

DIDI
Get ready for hugs with me, Didi! I'm 65 lbs and super loving at 3 yrs old. I love to follow my hooman around in the garden. I'm also excited to show my toys. I'm very proud that I have learned to sit and lay down for treats. I love treats! I'm not that into barking, unless I see a cat. I sometimes get to go on hikes too, with my friend Tuffy, who also lives at my foster home. We get along even though he's a little smaller than me.

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.
Please call KARES at 808-333-6299 for more information.
