Kauai Shelter Dog Field Trips
While we were visiting Kauai we took Apple and Cooper out for the day. We had fun at the beach, took a long walk, had lunch in the park, and went on a long drive before returning them to the kennel. Contact the Kauai Humane Society if you'd like to have fun with a dog on your trip. kauaihumane.org

Kauai Humane Society Lihue, Hawaii ASPCA: Meet a Few Dogs For Adoption
A trip to the Kauai Humane Society ASPCA to meet a few dogs up for adoption here in Lihue, Hawaii.
The Kauai Humane Society has a program that seeks to find volunteers who are flying home to and/or through Portland, Seattle, and San Francisco to take dogs back to the mainland for adoption. Adoption opportunities are less abundant here on the (relatively) small populated island of Kauai.
There web site can be found at:
If you are in Lihue, please consider stopping by and spreading a little Aloha for Animals in the form of any sized donation you can afford. Mainland visitors are always welcome.
The Kauai Humane Society also offers low cost spay and neuter programs to low income individuals and families.

TOP STORY:
Students from Chiefess Kamakahelei Middle School on Kauai report on Kauai’s Search and Rescue Canine Team. The story focuses on the training of rescue dogs from the time they are puppies and the qualities in puppies that reveal they might make good rescue dogs: curiosity, bravery, and a love of people. The story also highlights the special bond that forms between handler and rescue dog. The two become so close that they act together as one unit. Rescue dogs become an integral part of their handlers’ lives, and they usually live together. As one handler says, “We actually live in their (the dogs) homes. We just pay the mortgage.”

TOP STORY
“A Spark from Within”
Students from Maui High School in Kahului introduce us to Maui High robotics captain John Fabella. John’s mother passed away when he was just seven years of age, and his father was deported. Growing up without his biological parents, John found an extended family in his Maui Waena Intermediate School robotics team and later, in the Maui High School team. Says John, “I made family through robotics. I made that family. It’s not the family that was given to me. My friends now, my brothers, you know, my sisters now. They help me every single day and they push me further.”
