ACTION 4 ANIMALS HAWAII

ADOPT A DOG!

A4A Hawaii is committed to working with all our rescue partners throughout Hawaii Island.

Featured Pup of the month!

Phenomenal Flint is our longest shelter-stay dog. Please help us fulfill our goal of finding him a home by the end of October❤️. Flint just graduated from Aloha Dog Academy!! Flint likes to walk with friends but would do better living as a solitary dog. He needs time to recharge as he is a bit anxious. His perfect home would be with a fenced yard or several walks a day with someone who is home fairly often as he does not like being alone. Since he is a lapdog, a couch would be ideal😁. He does not like cats or chickens. He likes car rides so would be happy doing errands with you. Fun Fact: he was named after Jane Goodall's famous chimpanzee Flint who also did not like being alone. If interested in fostering or adopting Flint please contact us at : a4ahawaii@gmail.com or click on his name on our website.

Rainbow Friends

A4A Hawaii is focusing on the "Emptying the Sanctuary" campaign at Rainbow Friends Animal Sanctuary.We bring Rainbow dogs to our adoption events, we give them basic training, and a select group of dogs are part of our fly-outs to the continental US and Canada where they have more opportunity to find furever homes. Several dogs have participated in the University of Hawaii at Hilo's Pet Therapy Program which was launched in Spring 2023 and was a huge success with students and staff. A4A sponsors all of the Rainbow dogs we take under our 'paw" so any donations help tremendously in all that we do to make them more adoptable.

Prince

Boy

Friends and families please meet Prince. And what a charmer he is! This young lad is full of joy and ready for human connection. He is just coming out of his shell so would be better with someone willing to spend time interacting with him and letting him know that humans are fun to be with. If you’re looking for a forever friend and partner to hike, camp, and snuggle with, then consider this Prince Charming He is able to walk on a leash and so full of joy. He is not rambunctious, rather he is eager to please. This prince will love you forever.

Oreo

Boy

Oreo is gentle, sweet, loves people, and going on walks (he’s so easy to walk!). Oreo deserves to be in a loving home because he’s a great dog. Oreo is an 8 to 11 year-old big hunk of love, who would be perfect for someone looking for a couch potato. He’ll comfort you when you are sad and put a smile on your face with his goofy grin. His fur is also super soft! He came back to us from a home where he was much loved but one day showed too much interest in the landlady’s peacocks. His adopter was very sad and hopes he will soon find a forever home without peacocks. Oreo is good with most dogs and could probably learn to live with cats, but is not good with chickens.
