Breeding Dogs in Halawa Rescued - May 2013
The Hawaiian Humane Society is an education and advocacy organization that shelters, protects, rescues, reunites and rehomes animals. It is Oahu's only open-admission shelter that welcomes all animals. Established in 1883, this non-profit organization is not a chapter of any group as there is no national humane society. Gifts made directly to this independent, local organization help local animals and people. Visit HawaiianHumane.org to learn more.
On May 14, 2013, the Hawaiian Humane Society followed up on a tip about dogs living in deplorable conditions. As a result, 43 Pomeranian dogs were surrendered to our care from a Halawa breeder who stated she sold her pups at Petland Kahala's puppy swap meet and other outlets. She was active in the show dog world.
The Humane Society strongly urges all those who buy puppies to ensure to inspect the living conditions of the pup's parents. Pet shops and internet sales protect irresponsible breeders who may not want you to see how they care for animals they sell.
