The Moili site has helped me and my pups with affordable vaccinations, vet visits, memorable time at the dog park, and helped our family put one of our dogs down. A few months ago, our family dog, whom my parents had for 16 beautiful years, passed. Bella was her name; she brought companionship, greeted you even if you were gone for 5 minutes, encouraged exercise, snuggles, kisses, and an ear that would listen on end; she was family. After our beloved Bella passed, my dad felt a push to just look around the Ho'oppi location. His intention was just to look. He walked to each pavilion. One had pulled at his heartstrings, but he thought it was too soon. When he walked to the next pavilion, she was still lingering in his mind. He went back, talked to her, and she intently listened back. That was it She chose him and my dad adopted her that very day. She was as over one so she was potty trained. She did great on walks and car rides. My parents didn't have to go through that cute feisty baby raptor biting phase. Wags & Whiskers Wednesday! Unknowingly my dad and my mom came on Wags and Whiskers Wednesday. COMPLETELY WAIVED ADOPTION FEES! Every Wednesday for all dogs and cats that are 7 months of age and older. Other benefits if you get a pet from Humane society: * physical evaluation * preventive care * spay/neuter surgery * microchip * deworming * flea and tick treatment * vaccinations For the Love of Cats! I have said this before if I wasn't married to my hubby I would have been a cat lady. He is allergic to cats. My kids also love cats and we have paid several times to cat cafes. Visit here and make a donation (not necessary). There is no time limit and you get to play with the cats. I was surprised the last time we visited it was a full house and they had several kittens. It took a while to coax my kids and I out of there. Other adoptable companions: The Humane society not only has cats and dogs. I have seen rabbits, hamsters, and turtles. It's been several months that our new family member has joined our Ohana and she has fit right in. The facility and animals are well taken care of. The process to adopt was effortless. Animals are such a blessing!

This review is in no way shape or form meant to bash anyone who has gotten a dog from Oahu GSD. It…read moreis, instead, to inform the choices of future potential owners and warn them. Especially because they deleted their google reviews because they got bad reviews. Firstly, I want to say from the first day I personally met the people behind Oahu GSD I should have run away. Not only did they say that "having puppies is a vacation [to the dogs]" but that many people have tried but no one on island came close to what they were doing. I agree with the second statement, namely due to the fact that no one on island is producing GSD puppies at a scale that a puppy mill would. Many of these dogs have been overbred, and are showing symptoms of it. Despite that, they are continuously bred and forced to rear pups. Not only this, but their breeding stock is not properly shown nor tested. Oahu GSD has several dogs they purchased from Germany, and once they received them they have not been tested, shown, nor have they been in any dog sports as far as I have seen. They are kept on property. Which to me means two things: these breeders do not care for their dogs outside of the money they can make from their puppies, and that the promise of "sound temperament" is empty. If you aren't testing and putting your dogs in situations where their temperament is tested, you cannot say their temperament is sound. Secondly, puppies from this puppy mill constantly are going home with health problems and health defects. My own puppy after only two days had to be rushed to the vet due to a bleeding skin infection- which Oahu German Shepherds had said was a resolved issue during their puppy-hood. The vet had to put my 8 week old puppy on antibiotics, which he said he only did due to the severity of the issue. On top of that, we had to bring her back several times for chronic diarrhea. This diarrhea has not resolved despite it being several months since we have brought our puppy home. Believe it or not, my puppy got off on a relatively mild case. I have talked to several other puppy owners from Oahu GSD and their pups have had parasites, skin infections, chronic diarrhea, and birth defects. Despite this, Oahu GSD constantly says their program is "the best." Finally, and the most heartbreaking part for me, is the reactivity and lack of confidence many of these dogs have. My own puppy has had a large amount of reactivity issues, even during her 8 week to 16 week socialization period they were incredibly reactive and fearful of other dogs. Even a dog barking on television would send her into an anxiety-ridden spiral. I do not recommend you get a puppy from this puppy mill. It is deplorable what they allow their dogs and puppies to go through, and it is a shame that they have marketed themselves to be anything other than a money making machine.

I saw an online ad for a rummage sale benefiting this place and it excited us all to go. It was a…read morevery mixed visit to say the least. The Hawaii Animal Sanctuary isn't what you'd think; it's mostly a safe zone for feral cats. The smell is immediately noticeable when you get out of the car: feline feces. The hot day we were there just made it worse the longer we stayed. The coolest part of this place is that the property owns a number of World War II era tunnels. They were used for munition and food storage before being decommissioned. Now the sanctuary uses them for large rummage sales to raise money for the property. The tunnels smell old; they're humid and a bit uncomfortable for people bothered by that type of climate. They offer $5 historic tours with a guide at noted times, so be sure to be there early if you're interested. Now for the unpleasant things. We brought our dog along and I felt unwelcome. I was so confused due to the name. Asking about the makeup of the animals they care for (as stated above) it's only cats. After we did our shopping, the dog and I waited outside. It was unbearably hot in the sun. We waited under the tarp area and were quickly met with fire ants biting our feet. Going under the trees, the smell was even worse, and immediately our feet were covered with flies. They were unrelenting. It was then we headed back in to the tunnel - I'd much rather deal with humidity than filth. In come the volunteers. I was reprimanded and rudely talked to on more than one occasion while I was minding my own business. No details are necessary, only they were "yelling" at the wrong person. It really turned me off to wanting to come back or bring others here. I'm unsure about their mission even less so when rudeness is all I experienced; outside of the stench that is.

My wife and I decided to tour the bunker tunnels at the Hawaii Animal Sanctuary in Aikahi on a…read moreSaturday in July at 11:00. First, the parking is very limited and you might have park a block away or so in the residential neighborhood. If you park outside, be aware that there is a very long and very steep driveway that you would have to walk up to get to the bunkers. Be prepared for a long hot tour if you go during the summer like we did. Bring water to hydrate and make sure you use the restroom just before you arrive because there is no public restroom. The fee for the tour is only $5 and $3 for children. Unfortunately our 11:00 tour was very large with about 70 people attending. So, as we enter the bunker we crowd together so we can listen to the tour guide but the air gets warmer because of everyone's body heat so you start perspiring from the start. The tunnels add to the acoustics so that with a large crowd you can hear everyone talking which makes it hard to hear the narration. People started shushing others but that only made them talk softer which really didn't help because their voices still can be heard in the tunnels. They say that the 1:00 tour is the least crowded so that might be the best option if you want to go. After the first half hour we gave up. We were dripping with sweat and frustrated because we couldn't hear the narration so we cut our losses and left. What history we did manage to hear was very interesting so I may return when the weather cools. There is also a thrift shop in the bunker where everything they sell is really cheap. My wife managed to find a few items and it only cost her $5. All proceeds go the the animal shelter so your money goes to a good cause.

We thank Sean and his Pet Perspective team for training dogs on this island of Oahu. The island is…read moreblessed to have him and his team. We sincerely hope that Sean would continue to train dogs here and help out as many owners as he can as he did for us. Several years ago, we found a dog trainer that recommended a prong collar and bark collar for my german shepherd/husky dog. My dog ended up staying overnight at the vet because the prong collar cut through her fur and severely damaged her neck area. It was so painful to watch her suffer, and prong collars were definitely NOT the solution to what our pup needed. These collars do more damage than help. Sean is anti-prong collars, and he teaches exactly how to train dogs through positive reinforcement training. We first found Sean at a time when we were so lost and wanting guidance to issues that I don't think any other dog trainer on this island could have solved. I contacted Dakine Canine dog trainer first, explained to her the issues that we were having, and then she recommended that we reach out to Sean at Pet Perspective. (We thank the head trainer at Dakine Canine for this recommendation!) We were raising a 2 yr old german shepherd at the time, and because she didn't get the necessary training starting early, she grew up to be a reactive dog. To this day, we say to ourselves that if we found Sean when our german shepherd pup was a baby and trained her well from the start, she would have turned out to be the bestest version she could ever be... At that time, we got a baby english cocker spaniel pup, and our 2 yr old shepherd could NOT get along with the pup at all. Whenever the puppy was near her, she would bark and react so badly that for months we had to put them in separate rooms, fearing that if the puppy goes to the shepherd, then she would get bitten and hurt. We did not know what to do with this situation. We were so lost and even thought that we had to give up the puppy to resolve the situation. That's when Sean enters the picture. He came to our house for the initial consultation and was able to figure out a solid plan! What was amazing was Sean was able to quiet down our german shepherd dog right off the bat! We've never seen anybody with such a good command and handling of dogs. He gave us a plan on how we can make our german shepherd dog get along with our english cocker spaniel. And putting to work with what he suggested, we were finally able to get the german shepherd to be OK and calm hanging around with the baby pup. This has been incredible because now the two are BEST BUDDIES!!! They love each other so much, and the shepherd is like a mother/sister/friend to the cocker spaniel. All we did was do what Sean told us to do, and this miracle happened! Sean has been helping us train our reactive german shepherd pup for over a year now, and she is growing up to be the best version she can ever be!! She is an extremely happy dog, and we are so thankful that we have Sean's guidance. If we found Sean earlier when we first adopted our german shepherd, she would not have turned out to be reactive. But that is OK. Because we were able to find Sean at a time when we most needed help, and it has been amazing to see our dog grow and flourish every single day. And the whole reason I'm writing this review is to help spread the word!! There's someone out there that needs Sean and his team. Please don't give up your dog. They need you, and you need them. A Pet Perspective will be there to help and guide you through so that your dog will be the best version of themselves.

From my initial phone call with Kaimana to my initial 2 hr consult with Sean and then my now one on one sessions with Sean, I feel supported while learning my pup's perspective when I REALLY want her to do something! After the initial consultation with Sean, I walked away with an expressed plan and strategy with no high pressure for booking beyond that consult. Be ready to dive deep into a psychological approach that involves a commitment to no shocks and no choke collars. It's so worth it! 'Cuz pets are wonderful until they're not, right? So keep your pet wonderful which will keep your life peaceful with Pet Perspective.

Dr. Asato is trustworthy and honest with her diagnosis of the dog's condition. She doesn't push or pressure you in to anything that's not necessary. Not sure what it was like before but, her honesty and compassion is enough for me to trust her words & actions. The practice is very mom & pop, so if that's your style then this would be the place for you. Sometimes those bigger shinier practices seem better, but would they make the space and time for you when you need it?? As a follow up.. our dog is doing fine from following the instructions and medication that Dr. Asato prescribed for us. Thank you Koolau Animal Hospital!
