Poi Dog Rescue
Our Mission
We help rescue dogs of all ages and breeds from the Big Island of Hawaii. Our goal is to help ease the stresses of their overcrowded shelters. The dogs are relocated to Washington where we foster them and work very hard to find loving forever families.
Adoption Policy
The first step is to send an inquiry expressing interest in a dog. You can do this right from the petfinder.com website. The foster family will respond confirming availability and the current location, as well as answering any questions you might have.
The second step is to complete and submit a formal application.
Within a few days of the application, you will be contacted to discuss the current status of the candidate dog.
Following a successful conversation, a meet and greet between the adopting family and the candidate dog will be scheduled.
Adopting families receive a starter kit with food, medications, and some items to help start a loving home. A donation is requested to the nonprofit via Paypal for each dog adopted to help cover costs of transport and foster.
