HONOLULU (KHON2) — The Maui Humane Society is calling on residents to consider fostering a pup as the shelter reaches maximum capacity.
The call to action came after MHS said they are preparing for a “potential large-scale intake of dogs connected to a Humane Enforcement case.”
“This is a critical situation. We take our responsibility to rescue animals in need very seriously, and when shelter space is so limited, it is extremely challenging to do our jobs. We desperately need our community’s help.”- Nikki Russell, Maui Humane Society’s Chief of Operations
Officials added that MHS is the only open-intake shelter and the holder of the animal control contract for Maui County.
With MHS having zero open kennels, the shelter will be unable to take in animals who are victims of abuse, sick, injured or have nowhere else to go.
Maui residents are urged to consider fostering a four-legged friend to make room for incoming animals.
The shelter will provide all necessary food, supplies, medications, training and ongoing support for residents who decide to foster.
“Whether you’ve fostered before or are considering it for the first time, we need you. Fostering even one animal can make space for another life to be saved,” Russell added.
