All Day
Our kennels are full—the more pets that find loving homes allows us to welcome the most vulnerable animals in need of our care. So we’re celebrating St. Patrick’s Day all week long with the Lucky in Love Adoption Special.
Find your luckiest “four-legged” clover with $17 adoption fees for adult dogs and cats (7 months and older) and small animals. Plus, play a game to win fun prizes at our Mōʻiliʻili Campus and Kosasa Family Campus at Hoʻopili. Special adoption pricing will be available at the upcoming Petco Kapolei off-site adoption event on Sunday, March 15, 2026; however, games and prizes will only be available at either of Hawaiian Humane’s campuses.
Not ready to adopt? Give a shelter dog or cat a temporary break from the shelter through our Couch Crashers and Lap Crashers programs. These programs allow dogs and cats to have a vacation from the day-to-day life in the kennel and also helps our team learn more about them to match them with an adopter in the future.
Did you know?
The average cost to provide the level of care and services that we offer each adoptable animal in our care is approximately $560, which varies widely depending on the needs of each specific animal. This can range from routine vaccinations, flea/tick/heartworm preventatives, medical and behavioral evaluations and spay/neuter surgery to complex emergency veterinary procedures and recovery.
Can’t commit to adopting?
There are ways you can support our community, alleviate shelter space constraints, and help animals in need by being a Couch Crashers or Lap Crashers family, or fostering, volunteering, donating, promoting spay/neuter initiatives, or, if you or someone you know are faced with the difficult decision to surrender a pet, consider the rehoming resources available on our website, like Home to Home.
What’s the value of hosting an adoption special?
Adoption specials offer incentives to promote pet adoption, allow us to spotlight long-stay pets/fosters, reduce barriers to pet ownership, and create more space in overcrowded shelters for vulnerable pets who need us most. Contrary to common misconception, research and published studies indicate that the cost of adoption is not a factor when it comes to responsible pet ownership and a family’s ability to afford a pet long-term. In fact, there is no statistical difference in pet retention or the ability to cover necessary veterinary care for adopted pets between paid fee or fee-waived adopters.
