Adopt a Furry Souvenir!
Off-Island AdoptionsOne of the fun services we offer is our off-island adoptions program. That’s right! You can adopt a Kauai pet from wherever you live and we’ll ship to you!

If you have any questions or would like to inquire regarding off-island adoptions, please email offislandadoptions@kauaihumane.org.
