Agency Details:

Hawaiian Humane Society

The Hawaiian Humane Society is dedicated to promoting the human-animal bond and the humane treatment of all animals.

Description:
Through the support and generosity of more than 22,000 caring individuals, we have worked to improve the welfare of animals through education, legislation and prevention of cruelty. We are a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, guided by a dedicated board of community leaders. Though united with many humane societies across the country in a common concern for animals, the Hawaiian Humane Society is an independent Hawaii organization and receives no funding from national organizations.

History:
The society for the prevention of cruelty to animals (SPCA) was established by Helen Kinau Wilder in 1897. Wilder, a compassionate advocate for those who could not speak for themselves, was commissioned by the Republic of Hawaii to act on behalf of animals that were mistreated or abandoned. In 1908, the responsibilities of the Humane Society were broadened to include the prevention of cruelty to children. After the Children's Service Association was created in 1935, the Humane Society turned its full attention to animal welfare and protection.
