Maui Humane Society

Four Stars because I want them to stop shipping out puppies for Wings of Aloha! PLEASE, Let the locals adopt the puppies! Let the locals have the first choice!!!

Such a wonderful group of people. The shelter has really come along way so many new things. The larger area to meet with possible adoptable pets is really nice. They have a agility class set up .Lots of new landscape and really cool murals on the buildings. The have a transfer program to help Pets find homes on the Mainland. The spay neuter events are free and helping hundreds of animals. We adopted 3 of our dogs from them. We were part of the Foster Program and ended up adopting him as well. They have many free events during the year. My 2 favorites are Christmas to meet with Santa and have a photo with your pets the second is. Dogust 1^st the Birthday celebration for all the dogs that have been adopted that we do not know their birth-​date August 1^st is now their day :) We toured the facility and had birthday cake of course .You can like MHS on Facebook and see pets available for adoption. Don’t shop adopt a friend for life.

These people are angels. They have an insane amount of work to deal with, and they face pet overpopulation and worse with grace and compassion. They run a huge Trap-​Neuter-​Return program for the island’s feral cats which keeps the cats healthy and in check, protects local wildlife, and keeps locals happy too! They also offer free spays and neuters to resident’s pets. Vaccines, microchips… they really work magic. And the shelter itself is lovely. All animals get fresh air and socialization/​exercise. Some even get out to the beach with the beach buddy program. I adopted a special needs cat from there… a lot of other shelters would have put him down for his special needs, but these shelter folk knew he just needed the right home. They really are rescuers!

There is no reason or excuse to have treated me and my 2 year old with a bad attitude. I asked worker, Betty if I could pet the kitten and possibly go in the small room to spend time with the kitten and she said «are you going to adopt today» I said «not today, I’m thinking tomorrow depending when my daughter and I spend time with the kitten» she said «then no!» I was astound and repeated to her what I heard and she had a attitude and repeated her answer No you cannot. While i was waiting for my turn to talk to her so she could open the kitten gate, another lady got to pet the kittens and she was extremely friendly. After she told me what she did I asked the lady she helped if she was going to adopt a kitten today and she said no… so I then went to the front office to ask for the supervisor and explain was happened in the cats area… Jess came to the office and explained why Becky may have said that… Jess was friendly and she then said if I wanted to go back in there and talk to Holly to spend time with the kitten, I said no that’s ok… I hope Becky turns her attitude around and smiles. I know of this place having friendly workers but that Lady Becky was the worst.

Great-​full to our humane society on Maui, they are a very caring group of people. I found a lost dog and they are going to place her in a home if they can’t connect with the owners

MHS had another free clinic to vaccinate cats for the panleukopenia virus, so we brought our two cats. We had to wait in the sun about 15 minutes, but when we got in, we were able to sit at tables in the shade to wait our turn… We were out in 45 minutes. Everyone there was very nice and helpful. We gave a nice donation. Thank you, MHS!

There’s no question the staff care about the animals and do everything they can with the resources they have — I know because I am one of them! I have three pets adopted from MHS and I also foster baby kittens and puppies who are not old enough outside of work.
While every shelter has its problems, one thing MHS does not lack is compassion — I have seen countless individual lives saved because of staff going above and beyond their duties and responsibilities. More often than not, I see abandoned pets come out of their shells, develop healthy coats and gain healthy weight, become better behaved and better balanced in our care, and I’ve seen neglected animals become treasured family members thanks to this shelter enough times to warrant 5 stars.
Like any organization MHS will always have room for improvement. But the place is clean, everybody does their best, I and my co-​workers care deeply about our mission and we have saved thousands and thousands of lives in a dozen different ways. And that’s AWESOME!

I love going to humane societies because I love seeing the different kinds of dogs, cats and small animals they have available. But I was a little disappointed with the Maui Humane Society. I don’t know if it was because of its location, but this placed smelled extremely bad! Maybe it was a combination of a hot day and being in the middle of no where with very little shade, but it was really bad.
Many of the kennels the dogs were held in were slippery and many of the dogs would slip and slide around. I guess I’m just scared for their health because if they are slipping around I feel like that can’t be good for their hips.
The cat house is a different story, it’s very clean and the volunteers/​workers that were there were very kind and friendly. I’m more of a dog person but I spent most of my time in there because of the workers.

We adopted our kitty here. MHS picked him up along with a bunch of other cats from an abandoned house. So glad that they did, so we could adopt our Monster and give him a loving home. They also fitted him for free with a microchip identifier that can be scanned and we’ll be notified if he ever gets lost. I can’t think of a better place that finds caring, responsible owners for suitable pets who need one. Walking around the facility, it looks very well maintained and all the staff members are nice, you can tell that they really care about their cause. I highly recommend coming here if you’re looking for a new cat, dog, or rabbit companion, rather than going to a «pet store» and paying too much for one that probably got imported here, when there are so many homeless pets here already.

We brought some stray kittens here hoping that they would be adopted. They never even gave these poor kittens a chance and they euthanized them within 20 minutes of us dropping them off. We had been feeding these kittens for a week and i KNOW that one of them would have made a good housecat. They didn’t even give them a chance.
Know that if you’re bringing strays in (even if they are cute, adorable kittens), they are probably going to be euthanized. I know feral cats are a big problem, but these kittens could have been good pets. So sad…
