All pets that are available for adoption receive a full medical examination and the appropriate vaccinations, de-wormer, flea and tick treatment, spay/neuter surgery and a microchip. Vaccinations vary by species and may include: bordetella, distemper, hepatitis, para influenza, leptospirosis and parvovirus.

We also understand that certain medical conditions may not be detectable at the time of adoption. Hawaiian Humane offers post-adoption care and treatment (PACT) exams for up to two weeks post-adoption for medical advice and treatment of minor illnesses at our shelter clinic only.

We also partner with VCA Animal Hospitals to offer a free first visit for your new pet that includes a physical examination and VCA will cover up to the $250 on shelter-related illnesses within 14 days of adoption. 

There are also dozens of local private veterinary clinics who also offer free preliminary examinations within seven days of adoption.

We encourage all of our adopters to become established with a private veterinarian immediately after adopting. 

We have also partnered with our friends at GoodPup for dog adopters looking for training support with live 1-on-1 virtual training.

GoodPup provides private training with certified trainers who teach cues and advanced behavior on topics like crate training, barking, begging and jumping. Sign up today to receive an exclusive lifetime discount and GoodPup will make a donation to Hawaiian Humane!

Once signed in, you can browse through available pets on campus. When you find a pet you are interested in adopting, scan the QR code located on their kennel door, fill out a short questionnaire, meet with an adoptions representative, and bring home your new best friend!

If you need further assistance with our digital process, visit an adoptions representative or speak to a volunteer with an iPad. We are happy to help!

Please note:

• A photo ID is required at the time of all adoptions.
• Hawaiian Humane operates on a first come, first served basis, if you complete a questionnaire for a particular pet online, that does not reserve the pet.
• To best serve you, please scan the pet’s QR code at least 30 minutes before closing to meet with an adoptions representative.
• Please note that if you wish to conduct a meet-and-greet between your dog and one of our available dogs, due to the high volume of visitors, you may be asked to wait outside our gate with your pet until an adoptions representative is available
