Description
Our sanctuary is a no-kill dog sanctuary located in Hawaii. We are a nonprofit and take in stray dogs from the Ka'u area, take care of their health, train them, give them love and then do our best to adopt them out. We are located an hour south of Kona on the Big Island. It is a quiet and beautiful area. The public buses are free and if you had a pedal bike, it would be easy to bike to the stop.
