Meet Ginger Snap from the Hawaiian Humane Society
The Hawaiian Humane Society is waiving all adoption fees through Monday as shelters overflow following Tropical Storm Lala, which is good news for anyone ready to take in a pet.
- More than 970 animals have come into the shelter's care since the storm, and more arrive every day.
- Adoption fees are fully waived through Monday, August 31, at both campuses, select Oahu PCO locations, and an off-site dog event at Kaiser Permanente West Oahu.
- That saves $300 to $350 on a puppy and $100 on an adult dog, and covers cats and small animals too.
- Over 530 pets have already found homes this month through the Clear the Shelters event, but space is still tight.
- Ginger Snap, a three-month-old pit bull terrier mix found on the roadside with eight siblings, is spayed, vaccinated, and waiting at the Moiliili campus.
Outlook: Expect a last push of adoptions this weekend, though the shelter will likely stay crowded as stray and storm-displaced animals keep arriving.
