Maui Humane Society was first organized in 1953, and incorporated in 1962. We have been concerned with animal welfare since our inception, and operated a volunteer-run shelter until 1987. At that time we received a Maui County contract to not only handle all field operations for animal management in the community, but also partially fund an animal shelter and adoption center. We are an independent

non-profit organization. We seek private donations and grant funding to provide the monies necessary to cover the remaining programs and services our community needs – approximately 60% of our overall operation costs. We are Maui County’s only open admission shelter, handle all animal management, are the only organization offering humane education programs, and have the largest spay-neuter assistance program in the county. Our humane enforcement officers work with and educate pet owners in violation of county codes instead of merely writing citations. We work to help prepare families for safety in times of disaster and have an amazing adoptions/reunions program. Our 4EverPets program provides free food and supplies to those in need. We are committed to providing exemplary service to our community and encourage the creation and growth of programs, services and partnerships that will enable us to better carry out our mission. We are proud of the services and programs we provide to Maui County every day and are diligently working to reduce the number of neglected and unwanted animals through education, outreach, and spay-neuter programs, thereby increasing the number of happy forever homes in our community.

🚧🐾 Fosters Needed This Week! 🐾🚧

Our pups could use a little extra help this week! We’ll be having construction projects completed around the shelter, which means things will be a bit noisy, busy, and stressful for some of our dogs.

Can you open your home to a pup for just a few days? Providing a temporary foster home helps keep them comfortable and away from all the commotion while the work is underway. Even a short-term foster stay can make a huge difference!

🏡 Short-term fosters needed ASAP
🐶 All supplies and support provided
❤️ Give a shelter dog a quiet place to relax

Ready to foster? Come down to the shelter ASAP and our team will help pair you up with a pup who could use a break from the noise and activity.

We’ll also have extra Guest Beach Buddy opportunities on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday so our dogs can enjoy some time away from the shelter and soak up the sunshine! 🌊☀️ mauihumanesociety.org/beachbuddies

Our kennels are consistently over capacity — and the impact on animals is heartbreaking.

We are currently looking for two separate short-term foster homes or adoption outcomes for Arlo and Aku. Even a brief break from the shelter can make a tremendous difference and also helps us learn more about how they do in a home environment. 

If you have the capacity to help foster either Arlo or Aku, please reach out to our Dog Foster Team.

Aloha Kākou, my name is Hank and I am Maui Humane Society’s Pet of the Week! You can consider me your future partner-in-crime, beach buddy, and snack enthusiast extraordinaire! If it involves treats, I’m interested — training, snack time, puzzles, you name it! One of my favorite things is hopping into the car for a ride. Windows down, ears flapping, heading anywhere with my favorite people? That’s the dream for me. I’m also known as “Mr. Aloha” because I love greeting everyone I meet with a wagging tail and happy energy. Shelter life has been hard on me, and I miss having a family to love and a cozy place to relax after adventures.. Whether it’s beach days, coffee runs, or couch cuddles, I’m ready to be your loyal sidekick through it all. Could my forever home finally be with you?
