Adoption Process
Visit any of our adoption locations during open hours and upon arrival, sign into our visitor log using the QR code. This helps us understand who is on campus at any given time and how we can best serve you.
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 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
