Homeless woman gives cats to the
Humane Society for a better life
In February 2009, a highly publicized case involved a Kakaako
homeless woman who keeps cats
and rabbits in kennels in shopping
carts sparked a great deal of media
attention.
In October, more than 20 animals
were given by the cat owner to the
Humane Society so they could be
placed with families.
“This is one of our highest profile
cases and we’ve received many
heated complaints from the public
wanting us to seize her animals
and charge her with cruelty,” says
Keoni Vaughn, Field Services
Manager. “Although the conditions
weren’t ideal, they weren’t illegal.
We’re just grateful that she finally
trusts us enough to give us the animals so they can live better lives.”
For years, the Society’s officers
met with her on a weekly basis to
monitor care, educate about ideal

standards, and foster a trusting
relationship. This is still an open
investigation and the Humane
Society continues to work with
her to ensure humane care for the
animals she still has.

Hawaiian Humane Society maintains
Oahu’s microchip database of all pet
owner contact information. We keep
your telephone number and your address on file so that lost pets that arrive
to us can find their way home again.
If you’ve moved, changed telephone
numbers, or your pet has passed away
or been given away, contact us at 3562229. Call now and ensure your pet is
always wearing ID and has a microchip.
If you’ve lost a pet, you can send us
a photo and complete a lost report at
hawaiianhumane.org. If you’ve found
a stray animal, let us know right away
and submit a photo so we can help you
find the owner.
The days following New Year’s Eve are
the Society’s busiest for lost and found
when fireworks and festivities can
frighten pets.

The Society’s promotion of pet adoptions has never been more aggressive.

our website that showcases nearly all
animals seeking homes. We partnered
with PETCO to adopt

Homeless from page 1
Some residents have been angered by the woman’s
caging of her animals, which spurred a push for
stronger laws about confining animals in Hawaii.
The Hawaiian Humane Society did not support
such legislation that would have statewide impact,
be largely unenforceable and designed around one
specific and unusual case.
Hawaiian Humane Society is convening with other
animal welfare groups including neighbor island
humane societies, veterinarians and pet shops to
address standards for confining pets at home—specifically caging cats and dogs that are left tied up for
most of their lives. In 2010, the committee’s recommendations will be presented to the Legislature.

find more new families for homeless
animals than all other shelters combined on Oahu. There is no time limit
on how long we’ll hold an animal for
adoption. We can only hope that more
people will choose adoption.
Our commitment to spay and neuter
helps us dramatically reduce euthanasia on Oahu. Feral cats represent our
largest percentage of
animals euthanized.
If every pet owner and
those feeding feral cats
made it their personal
mission to care for
these animals and use
our free spay and neuter services, together,
we could reduce
euthanasia and prevent unwanted litters.
Funded completely by
donations, more than
2,300 feral cats were
sterilized this year.

Rescued from Wahiawa, Gixxer was found
starved by his owner. At less than half his
ideal weight, he now resides with a Humane
Society foster care family to restore his
health. The owner has been charged with
animal cruelty. “This has been one of the
worst cases I’ve seen of intentional starvation of a pet,” says Humane Society president
and ceo Pamela Burns. “While we’re pleased
that the owner surrendered the dog to us so
that we can nurse him back to health and
find him a loving home, justice needs to be
served to ensure that this owner understands
that cruelty is a serious crime.”
Humane Society offers innovative volunteerism
On a regular basis, hundreds of
volunteers find and share joy by
giving their time and talents to the
Hawaiian Humane Society. Volunteers help walk dogs, socialize cats,
groom pets and more to the tune
of 85,531 hours of service in 2009
in every area of our work. Here are
two new, noteworthy programs.
Students, 14 and older, can join
our volunteer workforce and spend
Furry Furlough Friday with us.
Hands-on work include an exciting array of jobs at the shelter from
caring for animals to helping in
the office. Call 356-2216 or email
smacquoid@hawaiianhumane.org.
The Humane Society has also
launched a new mentorship program in which our most experi4
enced volunteers help to train new
recruits. The mentor group has
expanded animal handling where
new volunteers not only learn
through hands-on experience, but
they also work a shift immediately
following the training.
“I think this is a great opportunity for us to work with new
volunteers to provide them with a
meaningful volunteer experience,”
said Steven Prieto, a member of
the Society’s volunteer mentor
group who has years of experience
working with volunteers. “We feel
that this provides volunteers with
the knowledge they need to be
successful and leads to a longer,
lasting relationship between the
Hawaiian Humane Society and our
volunteers.”
Humane Society assists with
Missouri dog fighting rescue
Hawaiian Humane Society cares for animals near
and far. Field Services Manager Keoni Vaughn and
Humane Investigator Rob Church spent 10 days in St.
Louis, Missouri helping more than 500 fighting dogs
that were rescued in July.
Bred and raised for aggression, the dogs required extremely cautious handling with partitions placed between kennels so they could not see each other. Only
one dog was allowed out at a time to prevent fighting.
The animals were sheltered in a top-secret location in
the business industrial district of St. Louis.
Both worked for eight days straight at the shelter. “It
was some of the hardest work of my life,” said Officer Church. “We just didn’t know what the outcome
would be for these animals, so it was an honor to
make a difference in their lives where we could.”

1910: Child welfare was as much a concern as animal welfare
As we head in to 2010, we reflect back
on our long-standing history in the community. During the Society’s early years,
child welfare was as much a concern as
animal welfare. Here’s an excerpt from
our archives about our work in 1910.
“…a mother, aged 26, who has given
birth to three sets of children, all of whom
remained in her custody. A nurse found
her very ill and destitute. Soon after the
birth of a female child, the mother became
paralyzed, one side being entirely disabled. Her children including a baby a few
weeks old have been adopted and placed
with respectable families...another mother
has beaten her little boy cruelly and been
issued a warning that should it happen
again, the case will be taken to court…”

Gentle Leads
Toss out your dog’s choke chain and enjoy the benefits of stress-free walks
thanks to the gentle leader. Designed so that owners can communicate with
their pet in a way they instinctively understand, the device painlessly and
effectively removes the dog’s natural tendency to pull by eliminating uncomfortable pressure on the throat.
Renew for the
New Year!
A current dog license proves legal ownership of your canine companion. Many
licenses are due to expire on Dec. 31
and can be renewed at any satellite city
hall or at the Humane Society for as low
as $10 for spayed or neutered dogs. A
license helps us return lost dogs to their
owners and is valid for two years.
Sit & Stay Kitty!
Did you know that many of the cats for adoption that are 6
months or older are taught how to sit? Using positive reinforcement, clicker training and treats, we can teach cats the same way
that we teach dogs.
Cats are intelligent, personable and trainable. We encourage
those adopting cats to continue to engage their new pets with
training including teaching them how to walk on
a leash to reduce boredom
and strengthen their bond
with their new pets.
For a limited time, the
Humane Society offers a
2-for-1 cat adoptions special where you can adopt
two for the price of one.

Mahalo to Katey Kolb who sold plants and papayas to
raise $75 for the animals. “It took about 5 hours but it was well
worth it. We hope this will help the Humane Society,” says
Katey.
Special thanks to the second graders of Kanoelani Elementary School who raised $154 through its Rainbow Reader
Campaign.
Mahalo to Mary Philpotts
McGrath who hosted a special
gathering for friends and neighbors
– a pet costume contest and family
play that raised more than $450 for
the animals at the Humane Society.
Kudos to Hawaiian Humane
Society’s chairman of the board
Larry Rodriguez. In November he
received the prestigious Business
Leadership Hawaii 2009 Lifetime
Achievement Award for his continuous support of professional and
nonprofit organizations including
the Hawaiian Humane Society.
You’re our top dog Larry!
Mahalo to Cub Scouts Pack 114 members Jarod
Okamura, Michael Meli, Carter Samson, Chris Romeo,
Chase Roberts and Caleb Mossman for their drive that
collected towels and pet food for the animals!
The Aloha Chapter of the Association of Fundraising
Professionals named Humane Society board members General
Fred & Mary Weyand as 2009 Outstanding Philanthropists
and Barry & Virginia Weinman as recipients of the President’s
Award.
