Investigations, Rescues & Laws
Make a request for service; report cruelty now.
Our humane investigators are helping animals islandwide. Our officers specialize in animal law enforcement and criminal justice and are deputized by the Honolulu Police Department. We are the only authority outside of HPD that can rescue animals and investigate cruelty on behalf of the City & County of Honolulu. However, we walk a fine line between education and enforcement, exercising both based on what’s best for the animals. Often we find that where the law lacks, our influence as advisors and partners with pet owners yields far better results.
Bring stray and surrendered animals to us anytime of day or night at 2700 Waialae Avenue so that we can devote our resources to rescues, emergencies, and investigating cruelty.
Due to more than 10,000 requests each year, we respond first to situations in which the animal or the community is in danger.
