Foster Care
Hawaiian Humane Society
The Hawaiian Humane Society’s foster care program helps animals in need of temporary tender, loving care. Approximately 150 animals are in foster homes at any given time. Shelter animals in need of care may be too young, underweight, ill, injured, recovering from surgery and/or require more socialization before adoption.
Volunteer Requirements
Age – Foster Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age.
Time Commitment – The foster care period may last anywhere from 2 weeks to several months, depending on the animal’s needs. Foster volunteers must foster at least one animal per year in order to stay active as a volunteer.
Transportation – Foster Volunteers are responsible for transportation to and from our Mōʻiliʻili campus for pickup, mandatory checkup appointments and treatment of any medical issues that may arise during the foster period.
Housing – Hawaiian Humane foster animals will need to be housed indoors in a safe and secure environment that is able to be cleaned and disinfected. Foster Volunteers are expected to follow any established housing rules and restrictions as well as abide by all state and country laws related to animals.
