UPDATE: TEMPORARY FOSTER FOUND. WE STILL NEED A LONG TERM FOSTER 🙏🙏🙏

FOSTER NEEDED URGENTLY!!

We need a foster for a 65lbs boy. Our Cupid adopted in 2022 is unfortunately getting returned. He and his sibling were not getting along as Cupid started being territorial. He is still good with other dogs outside of the house. He is very goofy and loving. He loves toys, playing tug of war, fetch and going for walks. He is super smart and knows lots of commands. He loves sunbathing and playing in water. He is a big cuddle bug and protective of his owners. He can be timid with new people. He is a 3 years old 65lbs boy. If you can foster him, please message us. WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!!!! Thank you!

He's vaccinated, neutered and on monthly prevention pills.

Ellie went to PetVet Animal Hospital for her semi-annual wellness checkup. Dr. Kuboyama and her team are always professional, but very kind and friendly and she did really well!!

Ellie was transferred from HHS as she was very skittish and we were informed that she lived with eight other dogs with a houseless person. Although she is skittish at first, she will attach herself to one person fairly quickly. She may need additional time and patience as she learns to attach herself to the rest of the family. Ellie is a very sweet and loving girl. She loves her walks and other canine friends/siblings. She is a 5 year old, Chihuahua mix, 9lbs girl. If you're interested in her, please message us! Thank you!

She's vaccinated, spayed and on monthly prevention pills.

Update on Noel❤️

Vet rechecked her platelet levels and red blood cells. Her red cell level is up to 36% and her platelet level is normal at 485K which is amazing! She had zero platelets when she admitted at VCA Family and Oahu Veterinary Specialty Center . Thank you to our supporters, she is alive and can enjoy her golden years!! She still has several recheck appointments. Hopefully she can reduce or wean off her steroids and she will get spayed after her treatment for ehrlichia is completed. Please continue praying for her!!!! Thank you sooooo much, everyone 🙏🙏🙏

We have great news!

Noel was discharged last night and back to her foster home😍😍 We're informed by an emergency vet when she was hospitalized that 1/3 of dogs with this condition, the Immune system malfunction, don't survive. So we're extremely worried about her, but she made it!! She's a strong senior lady!! She had 0 platelets and was positive for ehrlichia. She was very anemic and couldn't even check her blood pressure. So, she had blood transfusion couple times. She threw up lots of blood and found out she was bleeding in her stomach and vet also found large blood clots in her uterine. We are so grateful to have supporters like you all!!! Thank you so much for your support, prayers and donations 🙏🙏 Thank you to all she is alive!!! She can finally enjoy her golden years!! She was with an abusive houseless owner until he was arrested. We still need your help for her bill. If you could help us, we very appreciate 💕

The proverb "Do as I say, not as I do" has been forever changed by our Hope For Dogs Rescue's founder to "Do as I say AND do as I do." Her belief in creating this organization to reduce the number of euthanasia on Oahu, and her actions, continue to fuel HFDR's mission. She had fostered and now has officially adopted Kawaii nka Mochiko (front & center) and adds her to her HFDR alumni pack of Jake (top left), Waffles (second right) and Baileigh (adopted from another shelter prior to the creation of HFDR). Mochiko was transferred to us from the Hawaiian Humane Society because of her age. But she has proven to be young at heart as she can carry her own with her older siblings. We wish you a lifetime of happiness and love with this special family. We cannot be prouder to be a part of this rescue organization.

We had a successful adoption/fundraiser event yesterday at PetVet Animal Hospital ! Thank you to everyone who came to meet our adoptable dogs and to donate for Noel!! Thank you, PetVet Animal Hospital and all of our volunteers for your huge support! Bambi had a wellness check during the event at PetVet! She did well and waiting for her blood work results! Foster from Fur-Angel Foundation brought their dog to our event! We had a great time!

We are still in need of your financial support for Noel. We've been updating on her in her previous post. Noel's doing better, but it's still bleeding in her stomach. She's getting another transfusion this afternoon. Please please pray for her. We can't give up on her. She's finally rescued from an abusive houseless owner as he's arrested. We want her to go to a best forever home to spend her golden years🙏🙏

01/19/2025

Update 2: Noel is doing ok and eating ok, however it's still bleeding in the stomach. She only had one black bad diarrhea today which is better than yesterday. She's getting next transfusion this morning. The major concern is to start bleeding in the brain, lungs or any spots that vet cannot do anything. Please continue praying for her. Thank you so much for everyone who has donated 🙏🙏🙏 Will keep you updated.

Update 1: Noel feels better after her second unit of blood. She looks a lot brighter and is able to stand up on her own and has a normal blood pressure now. She's having a lot of diarrhea so vet has put her on a high rate of fluids to help keep her hydrated. Ultrasound indicated this bleeding was not caused because of cancer or a tumor, but vet is still not sure what is going on. She started getting treated for ehrlichia. Vet is still carefully monitoring her overnight as this doesn't mean the bleeding has stopped. Will keep you updated. Thank you so much for your support 🙏🙏🙏

PLEASE HELP NOEL🙏🙏🙏

This morning, Noel threw up lots of blood. She's currently at VCA Family and Oahu Veterinary Specialty Center . She's getting a blood transfusion and will be hospitalized. She's bleeding in the stomach and going into the intestine tract. She started having bloody, black-red, diarrhea, too. Vet is trying her best to stable her at this point while she's getting a transfusion. Blood work, X-rays, ultrasound are done. Please please pray for her🙏🙏🙏 We also need your financial support. If you can donate even $1, 3, 5 for her, please help. We will fundraise for her tomorrow at our adoption event. Please help!!! She's finally rescued from an abusive houseless owner as he's arrested. We want her to spend her golden years at her forever home. Please help her!!! We will keep you updated.

Ruffy came to us as his previous owners were being evicted and were planning on taking him to a shelter. He is a sweet and loving boy but fearful of certain things. He may be better in a home without children. If you're interested in him, please message us! Thank you!

We are thrilled to announce our first adoption for 2025 is Morgan nka Peanut. And also thrilled that the family who made it official is none other than our angels with the golden wings who had previously adopted five alumni of HFDR. Peanut makes it 6! Peanut was wandering the streets after his former owner passed two years ago. He was emaciated and had a little hiccup in his gait. Our angels stepped in and agreed to foster this little sweetheart. Peanut’s now forever mom said she knew almost immediately that he would become a part of their pack and today it happened. To our angels and all of our adopters and fosters, a heartfelt mahalo for making a difference in a fur baby’s life. We could not survive without you.

01/02/2025

Sweet Ellie dozing off 😍😍😍

Abby is patiently waiting for her forever home. She's been with us over 600 days. She's transferred from HHS as she's terrified at the shelter environment. She's still skittish at first, but warms up very quickly. She's great with other dogs. As she's an energetic dog, we're looking for an active family that has energetic/playful dogs. She's potty trained and crate trained. She's 2 year old, corgi mix, 18lbs girl. If you're interested in Abby, please fill out an application at hopefordogsrescue.com/Adopt . She's spayed, vaccinated and on monthly prevention pills.

Where is Wilson's forever family?! He's been with us 930 days (over 2 years). He's patiently waiting for his forever home🙏🙏🙏 He came to us because his previous owner was about to euthanize him as he's diagnosed with IVDD and couldn't use his back legs. We decided to take him in to give him a 2nd chance. He didn't have a surgery, but our medical foster did rehab and he can run today! Also, His personality has changed a lot. He's such a happy dog! He is 20lbs, min pin mix, 5-6 years old boy. He is an independent guy, but also loves getting affection. He is good with other dogs, but doesn't do well with puppies and high energy dogs. He has lived with a cat, ok with older children who can follow rules. He LOVES going for walks and is very food motivated! He listens well, has a strong recall and understands house rules. He needs a house with a fenced in yard without stairs and needs a family who is patient and willing to help him bond with his forever family as he may need to take some time to adjust in a new environment. If you're interested in Wilson, please fill out an application at hopefordogsrescue.com/Adopt . Thank you!! He's vaccinated, neutered and on monthly prevention pills.

Noa was adopted in January of this year. We heard she's enjoying her new life! We're so happy to see her in the video😍😍 She's very skittish at the Hawaiian Humane Society, so she's transferred to us. Noa's 2nd foster took her to a party where Noa met her now forever family which includes besides her mom & dad, sister and significant other, canine cousin, feline siblings and human little ones. It was love at first sight. We're very happy she found the best forever home where she won't be left behind. We know she's well cared and loved unconditionally❤️ Thank you for giving her wonderful life she truly deserves🙏🙏🙏 We're always grateful to hear from our alumni 😊😊
