Meet Buster: Your Future Sidekick and Love Guru! Aloha, my forever family, and this time, I’m ready for true love. Think of me as the ultimate companion—no drama, just lots of cuddles and kisses on the first date! I’m the perfect gentleman—calm, quiet, and ready to impress. I love everyone I meet and promise to be on my best behavior during family gatherings (no awkward silences here!). I get along great with other dogs, making me the social butterfly of the canine world. I walk beautifully on a leash, so I could win “Best in Leash” at any doggy awards show! Plus, I’m a submissive type, so you won’t have to worry about power struggles; I’m just here for the love. Currently living the dream at the Kauai Humane Society, I’m ready to fly to the mainland or stay right here on the island—your choice! If you’re looking for a laid-back pup to join you on life’s adventures (or just binge-watch your favorite shows), I’m your guy. So, if you think we’d make a perfect match, let’s meet up! I promise to shower you with love and laughter. Adopt me, and let’s make every day a fun adventure! 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.
