A Note from the Hawaii Island Humane Society
| 2020 has been a year like no other. The COVID-19 pandemic meant a tremendous reduction in our fundraising capabilities. With a heavy heart, we had to make the safe choice to cancel our annual fundraiser, Tropical Paws. Our shelters faced to reality of limiting access to the public. Our team braced for an influx of unwanted and abandoned animals. But in the darkness, we found light.
This year, Hawaii Island Humane Society designed new and innovative programs to best serve those who need us most: the animals and the community. Our Foster to Adopt program paved the way for thousands of animals to find loving forever homes. Our Second Chance Fund gave countless sick or injured animals the care they needed to heal. Our Community Pet Pantry meant that thousands of animals did not go hungry. Our Community Pet Support department provided resources to pet parents impacted by COVID-19, helping to preserve families by keeping pets in homes. Our Mobile Spay and Neuter Waggin’ hit the road to serve hundreds of community members islandwide, with free spay and neuter and community veterinary care services. We need your support now more than ever. Everything we do is made possible by your generosity. Please open your hearts today to give the gift that saves lives. |
