Field Trips for Shelter Dogs


Hawaii Island Humane Society

Hawaii Island Humane Society’s Field Trips for Shelter Dogs is a fun and fulfilling way to help a dog in need. Sharing your day with a shelter dog makes a tremendous difference in that pup’s life. From giving them a much needed shelter break to helping them meet potential adopters, your new shelter dog friend will be so lucky to spend time with you. Research from Maddie’s Fund shows that even a few hours out of the shelter can have a positive impact on dogs living in a shelter. Plus, what’s a better way to get your doggy ”fix” by spending a day with them in paradise?

As a non-profit organization, Hawaii Island Humane Society relies on the generosity of compassionate animal lovers, like you! With your support, you will make our mission a reality and help our programs thrive. To support our lifesaving work, we kindly request a donation to participate in our Field Trips for Shelter Dogs program. The donation will be charged at the time of pickup.

$25 per family/group for non-Hawaii residents for each field trip

$10 per family/group with valid Hawaii ID for each field trip*

*Live on island and want to regularly take dogs on field trips? Ask about our Loyal Field Trippers program!

About the organizer

Mahalo for your interest in Hawaii Island Humane Society. When you join the Hawaii Island Humane Society’s ‘Ohana, you are joining a community of volunteers and staff committed to providing a progressive and fear-free approach of care and love to all our shelter guests. Volunteers are a valuable and essential asset to our organization, and to the many animals in our shelters that need loving homes. We cannot do the work we do without people like you!

We have volunteer opportunities every day of the week in flexible shifts that work with your schedule, at both shelter locations. Come join our team and help socialize cats and kittens, enrich the lives of dogs, make sure our laundry is so fresh and so clean, and more! The minimum age to volunteer is 8 years old, and children under 16 years old will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian during their shifts.

We have several opportunities available, such as:

Cat Room Assistant
