Aloha, future best friend! I’m Maka, a dashing 1-year-old hound mix who’s got the laidback vibes and the charm of a Hawaiian sunset. Do you want a buddy who’ll greet you with wagging tails and puppy kisses every single day? Of course, you do! I may be a little shy at first—like a timid sea turtle peeking out of its shell—but with your love and patience, I’ll blossom into the best boy I know I can be! I get along swimmingly with other dogs, making me the ultimate pup party starter. In fact my recent field trippers have reported that I`m actually a prefect dog. So, what do you say? Are you ready to pack my doggie bags and let this handsome boy fly to the mainland for some serious snuggles and adventures? Or, if you’re lucky enough to be on island, I’m ready for some tropical fun right here! Life is guaranteed to be better with a new loyal best friend like me by your side. Together, we’ll make memories that are as warm and unforgettable as a Hawaiian breeze! Schedule a meet and greet today or walk in anytime from 12 pm - 4 pm except for Thursdays.

More about this shelter
The Kauai Humane Society was established by the community in 1952 as a local non-profit 501(c)(3) organization to protect Kauai’s animals. We opened our current home just west of Lihue in 2001 thanks to the generous support of many individuals, families, businesses and foundations. We are an independent animal welfare organization and not a chapter of any mainland or Hawaii group.
The Kauai Humane Society(KHS) is the only physical animal shelter in Kauai County, Hawaii. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with a government contract to allow KHS to provide services to Kauai County for humane field services for cats and dogs.
Our facility does not turn away any sick or injured cat or dog found on Kauai. We strive to not euthanize any healthy, adoptable, and/or treatable animals for space or treatable medical reasons.
In 2022, for the year overall, KHS achieved a Live Release Rate of 94.4%; meaning 94.4% of the animals that came into KHS during 2022 were released with a positive outcome of being adopted, returned to the owner, or transferred to a rescue group.
