Whenever I travel, I love to try to visit and support local shelters and rescues to learn more about the work they’re doing to help local animals in need.
On Maui, I had the pleasure of meeting some wonderful dogs, staff, and volunteers at Maui Humane Society 🐶🐱🐹🐢. A few of the dogs had just returned from walks or beach adventures with volunteers, hence the happy panting!
As Maui’s only open-admission animal shelter, MHS provides critical care and shelter while helping animals find loving homes, including through off-island adoptions. They also prioritize enrichment for the animals in their care, including beach outings, dog playgroups, and foster programs that help prepare dogs for adoption, to lifesaving medical care through their Hope Fund, they’re working to give every animal the best chance at a new beginning.
MHS also supports the wider community through affordable spay/neuter services and programs like 4EverPets, which helps families facing financial challenges keep their beloved pets rather than surrendering them to the shelter.
There are so many ways to support their work, wherever you are. Follow Maui Humane Society 🐶🐱🐹🐢, share their adoptable animals, spread the word about their programs, or consider making a donation. ❤️
