Aloha! I’m Bazlesk, a 2-year-old hound mix with a handsome dark brindle coat that’s as smooth as the island breeze. If you’re looking for a chill companion with a heart full of aloha, I’m your guy! I’m laid-back and calm, which means I’m the perfect buddy for relaxing walks, lazy afternoons, or just hanging out. I’m also a big fan of snuggles—so much so that I’ve convinced myself I’m a lap dog. Don’t worry, I’m not too proud to curl up in your lap, even if I’m a little bigger than most lap dog sizes! I love everyone I meet, whether they have two legs or four, and I’m always ready to make new friends. I’m easy to get along with and have a gentle nature, so I’m sure I’d fit right in with your ohana. I’m eager to learn and please, especially if there’s a belly rub or treat in it for me! I’m currently enjoying island life here on Kauai, but if you’re not lucky enough to live here, no worries—I’m more than ready to pack my bags and bring my laid-back, lovable vibes to the mainland. So if you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who’ll always be by your side (and maybe curl up on your lap), come meet me today! Schedule a meet and greet today or walk in anytime from 12 pm - 4 pm except for Thursdays.

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.
