Hawaii Spca in Maili-Waianae

...Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body.”

OUR MISSION: The Hawaii SPCA in Maili-Waianae provides care, comfort and compassion to animals in need while engaging the hearts, hands and minds of our community to bring about the end to the killing of abandoned and orphaned shelter animals.

OUR VISION: To build a No Kill Community in Hawaii where people value animals and treat them with respect and kindness.
OUR PASSION: Compassion for the animals of Hawaii.

THE Hawaii S.P.C.A. in Maili-Waianae is a 501(C)(3) Federally recognized charity serving the island of Oahu

WE ARE Proudly Non-Profit, Non-Corporate and Non-Compromised.

People like you help us stand up for the abandoned animals of Oahu everyday.

We rely on donations to carry out our mission to keep those animals safe until they are reunited with their family or their new true forever family can be found.

Will you give today?

OUR CURRENT AREAS OF COMMITMENT:

High-Volume, Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Programs: The Hawaii SPCA will promote and support No- and low-cost, high-volume spay/neuter programs on Oahu which reduce the number of animals entering the shelter system, allowing more resources to be allocated toward saving lives.

Rescue Group Collaboration: The Hawaii SPCA will work with other rescue groups to enable an adoption or transfer to a rescue group which in turn frees up scarce cage and kennel space, reduces expenses for feeding, cleaning, and killing, and improves a community’s rate of lifesaving. 

Foster Care Program: Foster care is a low-cost, and often no-cost way of increasing a shelter’s capacity, caring for sick and injured or behaviorally challenged animals, and thus saving more lives.

Adoption Program: Adoptions are vital to an agency’s lifesaving mission. The quantity and quality of shelter adoptions is in shelter management’s hands, making lifesaving a direct function of shelter policies and practice. The Hawaii SPCA will put in place better promotion of our animals and implementation of adoption programs that are responsive to community needs, including public access hours for working people, offsite adoptions, adoption incentives, and effective marketing. This type of promotion will increase the visibility of the number of homes available and replace killing with adoptions. Contrary to conventional wisdom, shelters can adopt their way out of killing.

Volunteer Program Development: Volunteers are The Hawaii SPCA’s dedicated “army of compassion” and the backbone of a successful No Kill effort. Volunteers make the difference between success and failure and, for the animals, life and death.
