K9 Kokua (Waianae)

Simply put, we are a band of volunteers who care about dogs. It all started with Opu, the very first houseless dog that we came across in 2003. Since then, the homeless population has exploded in numbers. We saw an extreme need for our presence out there. Originally, our main focus of being out there was to keep watch over these dogs to make sure that they are being properly cared for. At times, some of these dogs don't get dog food unless we provide it.

We cannot stop. We will not stop. These dogs need us. We now are able to provide more dog food, first-aid care, medications, flea/tick shampoo and linens to help keep these helpless souls warm from the cold ocean air. We offer spay/neuter and micro chipping for all the dogs and puppies. We educate the homeless about the positive health benefits of spay/neuter, and of course, encourage no more puppies on the beaches. The pups often die of parvo or other illness and it is a very painful death for these little ones.
