Maui Humane Society

About

The Maui Humane Society, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was first established as a non-profit in 1953, incorporated in 1962 and is the only open admission animal shelter on the island of Maui. Our mission is “to protect and save the lives of Maui’s animals, accepting all in need, educating the community, and inspiring respect and compassion towards all animals”. Our exceptional staff are passionate, devoted to our mission and have cultivated an organizational culture that fosters collaboration and problem-solving. With strong leadership and strategic vision, The organization’s innovative programs are saving more lives than ever before and enhancing the quality and availability of animal welfare services on Maui. Our motto is ‘We Love Saving Lives’ - and we are dedicated to maximizing positive outcomes for our shelter animals through adoption, transfer into adoption-guaranteed care, and reuniting lost pets with their people. Maui Humane Society’s facility undergoes regular improvements to ensure that our shelter is a welcoming, family-friendly place for people to visit, adopt, donate and volunteer. Enrichment programs like Dog Playgroups, Beach Buddies and the Volunteer Foster Program help us to identify and respond to the medical and behavioral needs of each individual animal in our care, increasing their chances of adoption. The Hope Fund makes it possible for many of these animals to receive life-saving medical treatment above and beyond what is normally possible, and our Wings of Aloha transfer program saved 870 animals just last year by placing them into adoption-guaranteed care in Washington and Oregon.
