Started walking dogs at the Kauai pound with my girlfriend, Preeya. It?s a fun and gratifying way to spend the day.
The Kauai Humane Society is leaps-and-bounds better for animals than abusive homes, living on the streets, or any of the other humane societies I?ve visited, but it?s obviously still sad to see the cats and dogs confined to their prison cells. They need caring owners and good homes.
The staff at the Kauai Humane Society is incredible. They are very kind, pay extra attention to the animals ensuring they are paired appropriately, clean, healthy, and released to run the yard as much as possible. The staff even spends extra time training the dogs, helping alleviate bad habits before new owners take them home.
Above: Tyson is a strong and quiet Pit Bull. The photos don?t do this dog justice, his neck and head had huge muscles which was funny because he had soft puppy-dog eyes that begged to get him out of his cage. He?s an awesome dog.
There are lots of big dogs, but also lots of puppies, and little dogs available for adoption. We took a few out to play on the puppy yard and they were ecstatic, whipping around together at what seemed like 100 mph! You could see the dogs smile.
The cat zones were pretty sleepy, and like the rest of the shelter, clean and very well maintained. These guys snoozed while we were there. Not sure how it is in there at night, when cats are most active.
Our friends and landlord who live above us have a rescue cat from the Kauai Humane Society who Preeya and I have quasi-adopted while living here. His name is Macks and he?s one of the coolest cats ever.
Had a great time taking the dogs out and really looking forward to Preeya?s next day off when we get to head back down there. For our next trip we are going to take two dogs to the beach for the day.
The Kauai Humane Society allows you to part-time adopt, foster, and take animals out for day trips. This helps spread the word about the need for pets to be adopted, and gives everyone hope.
With over 7,000 animals admitted to the Kauai Humane Society a year, they could use some help. Can?t imagine what it must be like in a big city. Please adopt if you get pets, chances are you will fall in love.
