We are not a rescue-focused group and cannot readily accept in stray dogs or dogs needing to be rehomed. Our main mission is to provide direct outreach to houseless dogs and those affected by domestic violence. The dogs in our foster care were either houseless or have been affected by cruelty in some way. Each dog has a background of unique circumstance and most have spent quite some time healing in foster care.
Adoption is NEVER a first-come, first-served basis with us. Our priority is finding a permanent match for the dog. We provide any and all necessary treatment to bring the dog up to health prior to adoption. This may include treatment for parvo, surgery for broken limbs, heartworms, etc. While in foster care, each puppy or dog receives the rehabilitation required, according to their individual needs.
All adoptable puppies + dogs are up-to-date on shots, blood tests and fecal testing. Each are spayed/neutered, microchipped, wormed and current on ProHeart and flea/tick preventatives.
K9 Kokua additionally provides Post-Adoption Support for life of the dog! *referrals of pet-sitters, health and training tips, travel recommendations and more!
Included in adoption is; a starter amount of the specific dog's food and a familiar toy or linen. We understand the adjustment of opening your home to a new dog so each adoption begins with a sleepover period to provide a path smoothest for the dog. In addition, the sleepover period ensures that after having spent a sufficient amount of time living with the dog, the potential ohana has the knowledge and ability to then make the adoption a permanent one. This is all done in best interest of the dog’s current and future happiness, safety and well-being. #AdoptionThePonoOption
We ask for: $200 for adult dogs, $300 for puppies(<1yr).
100% of the adoption amount goes back to helping the next dog.
By adopting, you are not only saving that pup/dog's life, you are making it possible for the next puppy or dog to receive help.
