It has been an eventful day at the shelter!

Last night I was told that puppies have been spotted at the Westin. They could only be the evasive mama dog’s puppies. We’ve all seen her around. After the morning walks, Ryan and I grabbed a few traps, some gloves and some canned food and set off to assess their situation. Maybe they were still too small and needed mom, maybe they are ready to eat big puppy food.

We found the first two pretty quickly. The others took listened to their mom and went the stranger danger route by hiding under a stack of old fencing. I managed to push 2 out towards Ryan and, ever the ultimate puppy wrangler, he snatched them up!

Just 2 more. I spotted the little white one dart under an old dumpster! Ugh! We couldn’t get under it! Think like a puppy Robyn! Then I saw it. The chubby brown one was watching me from under some bushes. I channeled Ryan’s wrangler ways and snagged his little let before he went under the dumpster. Got him! Unfortunately the little white one got away. We are nothing if not persistent. We’ll keep trying for him.

In the meantime, we brought the other 5 back to the shelter for baths and food and to show them people are good and kind.

So now we have 5 little puppies. 😬 If you can help, please donate puppy chow. And sheets. We’ll go through our sheets in no time with this lot.

The ACC has had a great start to 2025 when it comes to placement for 10 of our dogs, some getting adopted locally and some going to the states (pictured are a few in their new homes).

Tricky, Cookie, Lika, Jerry, Chip, Bear, Cinnabun, Truffles, Johnny Pants, and Yoshi have all gone to new homes.

Thank you again to our partner shelters who have helped with our ACC dogs, and to their new families. The love and support you show for our islands dogs means a great deal.

Thanks to our daily volunteers who take the time out of their workday or vacation to spend a few hours with them. Its great for the dogs and supports the staff with what sometimes can be stressful days.

Thank you to CCC (our vet) for always accommodating us with the paperwork required for travel, sometimes on short notice.

Without our donors we could not make this happen. With new airline policies in place to fly larger dogs the cost has ranged from $900-$1500 to fly them out cargo.

We hope to get two more dogs out before our window closes for the summer due to heat restrictions. Any donations we can get to cover their flights is greatly appreciated.
