Ate, took walk, and explored new surroundings.

Everybody was amazing, they are doing the Lords work! Rusty is very happy! They helped me make a great choice.

Who goes to humane societies on vacation? Me. My husband and I like to visit rescues, shelters, or humane societies sometimes to see if we could help out for a day by taking some of the dogs out to play/walk. According to their website, Maui Humane does have this kind of program where you can basically take a shelter dog out to the beach/around town for a day. You have to apply/register/reserve a date ahead of time though so unfortunately we couldn't do it this time. Still, we wanted to visit to see if we could hang out with some dogs at the shelter. The space is really well organized. They've got a building for cats and kittens, another area for dogs, and yet another area for other critters (even a tortoise!). In the cat area, you can hang out and hold the kittens and cats. They have them in individual crates and also in an open roaming area. We spent a lot of time here because our friends love cats. When we got to the dog area, we were hoping there was a similar sort of set up (at least for puppies and little dogs), but unfortunately, all the dogs were in their own crates/fenced off spaces. We were able to ask one of the staff if we could hang out with one and she helped bring one of the dogs to us at one of their private gazebo type spaces. That was a lot of fun, but I feel like those types of meetings were definitely more for folks who are seriously looking to foster and adopt. That wasn't us this time around but they did let us know that they have a program to help fly dogs to the mainland in case any visitors want to adopt! It sounds like Maui Humane, like many other shelters, are (or are getting) very full. If you can, adopt, don't shop and help foster or adopt some of these animals!

What a wonderful group of devoted people. We enrolled in the Foster Program, and we ended up Foster Failures. The best type of failure there is. We adopted Koa this week. Visit the shelter for yourself to see the love everywhere.

Happy pup, sunshine walk!

Amazing staff behind the scenes and volunteer program (Sarah is the best)! I will be back during my next Maui trip to participate in Beach Buddies again. Thank you for all you do to help the pups

When the staff is just as excited as you to be there, you can tell that you're in the right place. From cats, dogs, bunnies, birds, Guinea pigs and more - they have just the companion you're looking for. No pun intended. Rescuing a pet is the best thing you can do when adding a new pet to the family; Especially with the pet population here! They're prices are very affordable and come with spay/neuter, flea/tick/heart worm treatment, Pet insurance, license for the county, and first free vet visit! If you're not ready to have make the commitment without being sure it's a good fit - consider becoming a foster or even volunteer! Donate online or check for silent auction goodies.

It was my first time going to the humane society, to hopefully adopt. I really had no idea what to expect. But the volunteer made us feel so comfortable. Answered all our questions and concerns. Due to covid, you do need to make a reservation and put down a non-refundable deposit $25. If you adopt a pet that day it will go twords the fees. The MHS is so nicely set up. They have big beautiful trees that provide lots of shade for all those furry friends who need to play. Everything was clean. And it didnt take long for us to find our next addition to our family. The adoption process was smooth and I loved that they are well taken care of medically and physically while there. They do their best to set you up for success. I highly recommend MHS.

First off, we're only visiting and don't have room for an extra cat right now, but we couldn't resist swinging by to check out some island cats and kittens. The Maui Humane Society did not disappoint! First off, the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. This set the tone for the rest of our amazing time here. As cat people, we had to visit the Cat Ohana first. So many cute cats and kittens ready to be adopted. Seriously, if we didn't already have three, we would have been flying some of these guys home (I was told they would even help make getting them back to the mainland easy). So many freaking cute furballs! And unlike our humane society back home, they let you hang out and pet and play with many of them. If you're here for a bit and missing your cats back home, I strongly recommend you stop by here for some quality cat time. If dogs are more your speed, they had a bunch of cute dogs looking to be adopted. Best of all, we were told that you can even take a dog out for a day on the beach if you're in need of some quality dog time. In addition to all of this, they have a 20 year old tortoise (no, he's not up for adoption), bunnies, ducks, and Guinea pigs. So much to see and love. And before you go, be sure to pick up a Maui Humane Society t-shirt. They're very cute, make a perfect souvenir, and help to support this great organization. Hands down one of our favorite stops during our stay here. Until the Molokini Crater gets kittens, it can't even begin to compete.

Maui Humane Society is located off the 130, just follow the signs. Open every day from 11 am- 6 pm, except closed on Sundays. My husband and I stopped by this pet shelter on a Saturday just to visit some of the dogs (I was also missing my little girl dog back at home and thought it would be nice to let some of these pets get a little love and attention from us for a little while). We entered through the front office (where you will find a clean unisex restroom, in case you need to use it during your visit) and then walked over to the dog section. It made me feel so sad that there were so many dogs sitting in there kennels just waiting to be adopted :( and it also made me sad to see a few dogs that were very sick or not in the best shape :( but do hope that all of these dogs will get adopted. Anyways, if there is a dog that you are interested in getting to know better, you can ask an employee (although there are friendly volunteers around, only employees can help assist with this) to take one out of the cage and escort the dog to one of the outdoor caged hutches. Here you can play with the dog, feed them treats (dog biscuits are in each of these hutches), pet and talk to dog, etc. My husband and I ended up doing this with 2 separate dogs. We fed them a few dog treats that we had purchased at Target earlier before coming by and enjoyed showing these dogs a lot of love and attention, which they definitely craved and needed. After our time with the dog side, we walked over to the little critter cottage where you can find bunnies, guinea pigs and birds. There is also a very large tortoises named Freddie that roams free around this area. Then we walked over to the cat section. Inside (please note that the critter cottage and the dog section are both all outdoors) it had a very strong cat smell and smell of urine (the dog section did have smells of urine too). There were many cute cats and kittens just meowing and looking around at all the visitors coming in. Prices to adopt a pet are pretty reasonable. If you are interested, be aware that this pet shelter has specials each month that include adopting a kitten/ cat on Fridays for only $5, discounts on senior pets and those that health problems and so forth. Please consider adoption before purchasing a dog from a breeder or pet store. All of these pets need a loving home (maybe yours), love and a family to be with.

Help the animals. They are at capacity and need adoptions urgently. They have a walk a dog at a beach available if you are visiting the area.

She was incredibly disrespectful and unhelpful in coordinating an in-store pick up. We expressed that we came early to ensure that the products on our order that were listed as only one in stock were still available. Us arriving early clearly frustrated the employee which led her to communicate in An extremely unhelpful, condescending, dismissive, and rude manner. We expressed that we had no problem, leaving the store and coming back for pick up. She gave us no estimated pick up time, in addition to walking away while I was speaking and having an over all incredibly rude and condescending demeanor. When we returned for pick up we were helped by Rys- who always has exceptional customer service. She is lovely in all aspects. I'd suggest Alex receives additional training on both policy and customer service as her behavior was distasteful enough for me to write this review.

I'm on the west side so when my outdoor cat Costco came to find me in obvious pain I drove straight…read moreover to the other side, calling CMAC on the way to see if they could fit him in for an emergency appointment. As it was only 7.15am they could by the time I arrived at 8.15am. They charge $270 for an emergency appointment, $370 if it is before 8am so my driving time worked to my advantage. The staff took my cat into a room without me, don't know why, and it made me uncomfortable as I wanted to be there for him. The vet came out to tell me his bladder was plugged and needed emptying. I was given 2 options, one in house where they keep him for 3 days at the surgery $5K, the other for them to sedate and unblock the urethra/bladder and he is taken home$1k. I chose the latter as we can look after him at home and give him meds etc. The staff were great, from the gals at the front desk to the vet and vet techs. Very friendly and informative and even forgave me bringing my poor puss in a Trader Joes zip up grocery bag! (I couldn't find where hubby had stored his crate and it was an emergency so I grabbed the first thing I could find in the garage....it was the way I brought him home as a kitten too after I found him dying on the Maui Costco lot!). Emergency vet treatment is always a big hit in the pocket and Central is definitely up there, but we have no vet clinic on the west side now so there is no alternative :(

Charged exorbient amount money , Did not diagnose my dog correctly…read moredid not treat properly had to take to another vet who correctly diagnosed and treated my pet at a reasonable cost do not use them all they care about is collecting money without providing proper service.
