Our Grand Opening!

The Oahu SPCA's Grand Opening on Saturday, August 8, was a huge success!  We could not have done it without the hard work and generousity of the many companies and individual volunteers who dedicated time, resources, and funds to get everything done!!

During our Grand Opening on Saturday, August 8, 10 dogs found their new forever homes.

Mickie, an 8 month old Shepherd/Minpin mix, was the first lucky dog adopted at the new shelter.  Here he is bonding with his new parents, Melissa and Matt Bissell, on their first walk in front of the shelter.

Mabel, a Ridgeback/Shepherd mix, was the second to meet her new family: Peter and Lisa Kleen and their two daughters, Anna and Toni.  Peter promised Lisa a new dog as inspiration to recover from her serious injury.  Mabel was rescued in the mountains of the north shore, where she was abandoned and found shaking in fear.  She will now have an important career as a service dog for Lisa and a best friend for the entire family.

 

We would like to extend a special mahalo to Honolulu Electric, Who Like. Inc, and David's Fencing, who finished the required 350 feet of fencing and three gates needed to in order to safely open the shelter just minutes before the grand opening.  We'd also like to thank NC Plumbing for completing its shelter renovations in time for the arrival of all the animals.

Please stop by our new location and check it out for yourself!  You might just find the four-legged love of your life waiting for you...
