 | Aloha KHS Family, We are just past the half-way mark for Mission Mainland! We still have 60 airline tickets available to send cats and dogs to a home on the mainland. We want to thank all of our donors and supporters for aiding us in this program and helping with our shelter’s overcrowding. Though we enter July with the struggles of a large shelter population and small staff we still have much to look forward to. On Monday, we are kicking off an adoption event, Empty the Shelters, thanks to the Bissell Pet Foundation which will reduce adoption fees to $25 for cats and dogs, and completely sponsor adoption fees for senior animals. We are hosting another Environmental Enrichment for Indoor Cats Workshop on July 13th, but this time, it will be virtual. Of course, we are most excited about the announcement of our gala, that for the first time ever, is going to be hosted at Kaua`i Humane Society! We cannot wait to see you all there. Sincerely, |

Executive Director

| | | Featured Animals: Loverboy & LaLisa Meet Loverboy: Loverboy is a three-year-old Border Collie/hound mix with a zest for life. This guy has a lot of energy and needs a home who can offer stability and consistent training. He would do well as a working dog, if he had the training. Loverboy is very affectionate, loves going on adventures, and is pretty great with other dogs. He just needs lots of mental and physical stimulation to help him stay focused and well-behaved. Meet LaLisa: LaLisa is almost two-years-old and she is the most loving, affectionate cat. She came into the shelter as a young mother with a litter of kittens and she was the best mother, but all of her kittens have already been adopted! LaLisa has been a great helper cat, aiding in building the confidence of other cats she's been placed with who aren't as brave. She's a sweet girl who gets along with everyone. |

| Volunteer Spotlight: Celia Celia is one of our most dedicated volunteers. She has been volunteering at the Kaua`i Humane Society for 23 years! Celia said both of her parents were animal lovers, especially her mother. Celia volunteers nearly every day in honor of both of her parents. She loves to give all the dogs treats every day, even on holidays when KHS is closed. She also does the laundry every time she volunteers, which is a HUGE and extremely important job. |

| | Staff Spotlight: Salem "Hello! I'm Salem and I've been with the humane society since April 9, 2021, and I started as a volunteer. I volunteered so much, that there was a joke of "she practically works here, just hire her already!" and they did just that in July 2021. I'm coming up on my one year of being with Kaua`i Humane this month; and I'm so happy to be here. Animal welfare has been something I've been passionate about since I was very young, and actually starting a career in it is something I'm proud of. There's highs and lows, but at the end of the day I'm happy helping the animals thrive and feel a little better in the shelter. I hope to continue being the best employee, friend, and co-worker I can be." We are currently hiring for several positions!
