Maui Woman Demands Justice After Dog Shot, Faces $10K Vet Bill

Oct 26, 2026

A small dog was shot and nearly killed on Maui, leaving its owner with a massive vet bill and no arrest yet for the shooting.

  • A two-year-old, eight-pound dog named Pua was shot and suffered severe internal injuries, but survived after emergency surgery.
  • The owner says she saw a neighbor leaving the scene with a handgun, and a witness corroborates seeing him with a black pistol right after hearing the shot.
  • Police are investigating, but the neighbor has not been charged and is not being named.
  • The owner is stuck with a $10,000 vet bill she cannot afford, and friends started a fundraiser to help cover it.

Outlook: The case remains under police investigation, with no charges filed against the suspected shooter yet.
