Aloha! I'm Makoa, a 22-year-old chihuahua mix. Yes 22! I am very wise, and my foster mom says I'm the most spry, sprightly little old man she's ever met. I still have a lot of pep in my step despite arthritis in my back legs, and I love going for walks. I especially love walks on the beach and letting the waves wash over me. It makes me so happy! I may be slower now, but I'm still going and not showing any signs of stopping. All my parts work (ahem, the bathroom parts) so you don't have to worry about helping me go. I love to eat and my nose can pick out a chicken bone in any bush. I'm happiest with someone so I would love to live out whatever time I have left in a loving home. I'll be your loyal companion forever and follow you everywhere (even to the bathroom and the shower!) If you take me out on a schedule, I don't have accidents in the house and my foster mom says I'm the easiest and sweetest dog to take care of. Oh, and I also LOVE other dogs and my tail starts wagging whenever I see one. Big dog, little dog, cat, I love them all. Won't you consider adding me to your family? You'll wonder how you ever lived without me! Email customerservice@kauaihumane.org to set up a meet and greet today!

More about this shelter
The Kauai Humane Society was established by the community in 1952 as a local non-profit 501(c)(3) organization to protect Kauai’s animals. We opened our current home just west of Lihue in 2001 thanks to the generous support of many individuals, families, businesses and foundations. We are an independent animal welfare organization and not a chapter of any mainland or Hawaii group.
The Kauai Humane Society(KHS) is the only physical animal shelter in Kauai County, Hawaii. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with a government contract to allow KHS to provide services to Kauai County for humane field services for cats and dogs.
Our facility does not turn away any sick or injured cat or dog found on Kauai. We strive to not euthanize any healthy, adoptable, and/or treatable animals for space or treatable medical reasons.
In 2022, for the year overall, KHS achieved a Live Release Rate of 94.4%; meaning 94.4% of the animals that came into KHS during 2022 were released with a positive outcome of being adopted, returned to the owner, or transferred to a rescue group.
