Adoption Applications

We cannot guarantee that the pets on our site are still available as they are frequently adopted. Please visit or call our Center at 808-PETS(7387) to check on the current status of the animal in which you are interested. For us to assist you, we will need the Animal ID number. Our policy is that pet adoptions are on a first-come, first-serve basis.

If you are interested in an animal that is not yet available to the public, please inquire with our staff as to the availability of animals Wait List by calling our center at 808-PETS(7387) or coming into the Center. We will take up to five names as interested parties for each animal. Please see our Adoption Waiting List Guidelines for more information.

Please note that often time the animals must be spayed or neutered before they go home with an adopter. The surgery is performed the next available business day at the shelter or at a contracted vet. In these cases the adopters will need to return to the shelter or vet hospital on the next business day to pick up the altered animals.

If you have recently adopted a pet, we hope you and your new pet will be very happy together. Please note, though, that most of the animals in our center come to us with unknown medical histories and a check-up and vaccination by a private veterinarian is a must. So, to insure the happy and healthy life of your newly adopted friend, we urge you to have your pet examined routinely by a veterinarian. See also Caring For Your Pet.
