Ready to Meet Your New Favorite Adventure Partner? Look No Further! I’m Waylon, a handsome 3-year-old red hound mix with a heart as big as my love for adventure! While I might be a bit shy at first, don’t let that fool you—I’m on the lookout for my forever home, and I’m ready to bring all the fun and cuddles into your life! I’m super sweet and love everyone I meet, from the friendly neighbor to that adorable dog down the street—yep, I get along great with my fellow pups too! I walk like a pro on the leash, so we can strut our stuff together around town, turning heads and spreading smiles. Whether we’re exploring new trails or snuggling up after a day of fun, I’m eager to be by your side for all of life’s adventures. I’m looking for an active family who can keep up with my enthusiasm for playtime and outdoor fun, but don’t worry—I also know how to kick back and relax after a busy day! I’m ready for on-island adoption or to fly to the mainland for our new journey together. If you’re searching for a loyal companion who will fill your days with joy, laughter, and plenty of tail wags, come meet me! Let’s make some unforgettable memories together—because life is always better with a Waylon by your side! 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.
