LE'AHI
Meet Le'ahi! This gorgeous girl is looking for her forever home! Le'ahi is a three and a half year old Ridgeback mix who loves to run and play. Very affectionate towards people and does well with male dogs as she likes to be the alpha. Le'ahi is spayed and up to date on all her shots. If you would like more information on Le'ahi, please call KARES at 333-6299.
KINGSTON
Kingston is a sweet older hound who is looking for his human, someone to love and hang out with. His foster dad says Kingston is friendly, enjoys a good belly rub and being close to you. When Kingston came to KARES he was underweight and his back legs were not as strong as they needed to be. Kingston is now walking upt to 2.5 miles twice a day and his back legs are getting stronger. Kingston deserves a loving and attentive home. For more information about Kingston, call KARES at 333-6299.
POOH BEAR
This is Pooh Bear. He is a survivor.
This special boy is now available for adoption.
Pooh was found on December 29, 2019 lying on the yellow line of Highway 240 (Honoka'a/Waipio Rd). Friends drove by him thinking he was a trash bag or sweater! When they stopped, they found a dog who was emaciated, swollen, full of sores and infection and on the brink of death. Lori Johnson, Pooh's incredible foster mom contacted KARES for help. Lori has done a truly amazing job nursing Pooh back to health and now it is time from him to find his forever home.
Pooh has easily transitioned between being an outside dog to spending time inside the home. He is housebroken, doesn't chew on things other than what is in his toybox. He isn't allowed on the furniture and understands his boundaries. Pooh has slight hearing deficit due to infections, but responds well to certain key words and hand signals.
Pooh loves to ride in the car and is really good on a leash. He is calm and good by himself, but enjoys being with family. Pooh learns quickly and is beginning to play.
DNA test shows Pooh is mostly American Bulldog, some American Staffordshire Terrier and a bit of Mastiff/Cane Corso. Although Pooh has responded well to the love and care of his foster family, we do not recommend Pooh for anyone who has small children or other pets. He will be a great companion but should remain an only dog.

SASHA
Hi my name is "Sasha" and I'm a Staffordshire Terrier mix about 50 lbs. I was a neglected hunting dog until my foster family found me starved and desperate. With food and a little TLC I have blossomed into a confident and loving dog. I have been spayed and don't mind getting a bath and having my nails clipped. I have energy and love going on walks now that I have learned about being on a leash. I also like car and truck rides. I still have a very strong prey drive from surviving in the wild and like to chase mongoose, rats, chickens, birds and my foster family's cats. That is why I need a new home to protect and a family to bond with. I am a good learner and strive to please people who will love me.
If you would like more information on Sasha, please call KARES at 333-6299 or email us at kareshawaii@gmail.com
