They desperately need fosters (updated Dec 10, 2023)
Maui Humane Society has reached over 100% capacity in the dog kennels. We are caring for more than 60 dogs in shelter with capacity only for 40, totaling to more than 130 dogs in our shelter and in foster homes. Our Cat Ohana is filled with cats and kittens. Our Critter Corner is bursting with rabbits and Guinea Pigs.
If you have been considering fostering or adopting, NOW is the time.
Maui Humane Society has been in emergency response mode since the fires. While cats are still being rescued from the burn zone, our shelter is continuing to operate at a high capacity. When you foster one dog, you open a kennel for another dog who needs critical care before being reunited with their Ohana or adopted to a new one.
As an SOS Foster, you don't need prior fostering experience. Come to the shelter, any day of the week from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Our staff can help find an animal that will best fit your Ohana, get you all the supplies you need and send you on your way! If you would like to foster one of our dogs and you have your own dog(s) at home, please bring them down to the shelter so our staff can help ensure they are a good match.
