Lost/Found Dogs and Cats

    • Approach the animal with caution.

      • Do not look at the animal directly in its eyes.

      • Use food to entice them.

      • Always use a leash or carrier to handle the animal.

    • Locate the nearest veterinary clinic or animal shelter, call them ahead of time saying that you found a dog/cat and would like to see if it’s microchipped.

    • Ask the facility if they’re able to look up the microchip number and see if they’re able to contact the owners.

      • We ask that you hold the pet or take them to the pet to the nearest Humane Society campus to turn the dog in as a found pet.

    • If there is no microchip or answer, go to Hawaiian Humane Society’s website to submit a Lost/Found dog/cat.

      • This allows for owners to locate their four-legged family member.

      • Help owners find their pet by posting their picture to local social media pages. 

      • If the animal is found in your neighborhood, ask neighbors if they recognize the pet or if they know of anyone who lost their pet.

    • If not already, get your pet microchipped!

      • Clinics and shelters with microchip scanners will be able to get your pet’s number and your information if they were to get lost.

    • Register your pet’s microchip number with your information on HomeAgain.com, 24petwatch.com, FoundAnimals.org.

    • Have your pet’s name and your contact information on a tag that stays on their collar all the time.

    • Secure your home’s perimeter when not home to accompany your pet:

      • Lock doors, gates, etc.

      • Close off areas where pets can dig their way out of the yard.

Quality of Life

  • Our four-legged companions are valued members of the family whom we hold dear. When they begin to experience aging or health issues that significantly impact their well-being, it may be necessary to seek veterinary advice to evaluate their quality of life.

    There are also sources available to evaluate your pet’s quality of life.

    Lap of Love Quality of Life Scale

  • During a quality of life assessment, our veterinarians thoroughly evaluate your pet's condition and discuss possible treatment options or humane euthanasia if appropriate.

  • We provide three types of cremation services: communal, partitioned, and solo. Please note that with communal cremation, remains are not returned to the owner; however, Oahu Pet Crematory hosts a ceremony for these pets at sea. Partitioned and solo cremation options include the return of your pet’s ashes for you to keep. Additionally, you may select a paw print keepsake to memorialize your pet.

  • There are no right or wrong answers. We encourage you to prioritize what makes you most comfortable during this emotional time. Family and friends are also welcome to be present if desired.

  • Prior to the procedure, some animals are administered a tranquilizer to help facilitate a smooth transition. Once they are more sedated, intravenous catheters may be placed to ensure reliable venous access. When you are prepared, our veterinarians will explain each step of the proced
