Volunteer at Maui Humane Society

Our volunteers are absolutely vital to the success of Maui Humane Society. From last year, these dedicated animal lovers donated 50,000 hours of their time to working with homeless pets! Our volunteers make an incredible difference in our shelter, with our animals, and throughout the community, and we are honored to work alongside them.

We invite animal lovers on Maui to join our volunteer pack, whether you’re a Maui resident or visitor!

Community Service Hours

Need to complete school, court, or community service hours? We’d love to have you join our ongoing volunteer pack!

Our Drop-in volunteer opportunities are meant for one-time visits and cannot be used to fulfill service hour requirements. To earn verified hours, please sign up to become an Ongoing Volunteer! You’ll go through our training, become part of our regular team, and make a continued impact for Maui’s animals in need.

Need fewer than 10 hours of community service? Please email volunteer@mauihumanesociety.org to discuss options.

How Else Can I Help?

Help fly MHS dogs to our transfer partners on the continent via MHS’ Wings of Aloha: Alaska Angels program! The process is simple and free. All you need to do is email wingsofaloha@mauihumanesociety.org where you will be prompted to fill out your flight information. Should a scheduled animal transport match your itinerary, we will be in touch! At this time, flights must be with Alaska Airlines only and must be to the West Coast to be eligible.

When you foster a pet from Maui Humane Society, you make an incredible difference for the pet in your home, and the next pet who needs critical care in our shelter. Fostering plays a crucial role in animal shelters by providing temporary homes for animals in need, expanding the walls of our shelter. Learn more here!

Can’t foster? That’s ok! Spread the word to friends, family, and people in the community!

Adopting an animal and giving them a furever home is one of the best ways to help our shelter pets! Can’t adopt? Spread the word with your family, friends, and community! Did you know that you can adopt a pet from MHS and bring them home, even if you don’t live on Maui? Our Adoptions team has resources to help with off-island adoptions!

Meet our adoptable pets here!

Donations, monetary or in-kind, are always appreciated and needed to continue our lifesaving work. Your contribution to Maui Humane Society will help protect and save the lives of the thousands of animals who come through our doors each year in need of compassionate care.
