Poi Dogs and Popoki

Poi Dogs and Popoki POI DOGS AND POPOKI gives stray, abandoned and homeless dogs and cats a 2nd chance at life.

Poi Dogs and Popoki is dedicated to providing nurturing support specifically for pet owners that need the most help in hopes that this will reduce the owners' financial burdens, reduce owner surrenders, reduce pet overpopulation, reduce the use of euthanasia, and improve the overall health and wellness of the animals and their ohana. Between food, water, shelter and veterinary care, caring for a p

et can be an expensive endeavor. In fact, more than $500 per year is spent on pet care according to the ASPCA. Those that cannot afford to continue caring for their animals may face the difficult choice of surrendering their pet to the local animal control contractor. On the island of Oahu alone, 70% of all admitted animals are euthanized.

🐾 Fact Friday: Tabby Edition! 🐾

Did you know “tabby” isn’t a breed — it’s a coat pattern? These stripey, swirly sweethearts come in all shades, from warm browns to cool greys, and no two are ever the same! Each tabby’s markings are as unique as a fingerprint, and their fun-loving, affectionate personalities make them purr-fect companions. With roots tracing back to the wild African cat, they’ve kept that mix of curiosity, charm, and confidence that makes them irresistible.

We’ve got tons of tabby cats waiting to find their FURever homes at PetSmart Kapolei and Mililani! 🐱💛
📍 Mililani: Sat & Sun | 10am–6pm
📍 Kapolei: Sat 10am–8pm | Sun 10am–6pm

🐾 Meet Diesel — Our Cat of the Week! 🐾

This handsome 1-year-old brown tabby is the perfect mix of chill and charm. Diesel enjoys his independence but melts for a good petting session or a tasty Churu treat. When he’s not chasing lasers or showing off his wand toy moves, you’ll find him lounging peacefully and observing the world with those wise tabby eyes. He gets along great with other cats but would prefer a smaller crew — just one or two furry friends to share his space. Come meet this sweet, soulful boy at PetSmart Kapolei and see why Diesel might just be your purrfect match! 🐱💛

Don't let this beauty pass you by. She is sterilized, microchipped, vaccinated, and current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. Adoption fee is $350.

Hawaii Pets Veterinary Clinic (Hi Pets): The Best for End-of-Life Care for your pet

Euthanasia with Hi Pets is the kindest gift for your pet when its time to say aloha 'oe. Not only do they provide the most affordable euthanasia service ($100 flat fee for all pets), they will always accommodate a same-day appt when its necessary. And their veterinary staff are always compassionate and caring, thoroughly explaining the procedure, making sure pet and ohana are comfortable, and giving you the time you need with your pet before they pass.

PLEASE - Do NOT euthanize at Hawaiian Humane Society! They do NOT allow the ohana to be with their pet when they euthanize. Its a horrible policy and they should be ashamed. They care more about money then the welfare of the pet. If you love your pet, take them to Hi Pets. Don't let your pet die alone surrounded by strangers at HHS who kill healthy animals for a living.

Please READ (copied from an unknown author).

Pets, it turns out, also have last wishes before they die, but only known by veterinarians who put old and sick animals to sleep. A vet was asked what was the most difficult part of the job?

The vet answered without hesitation that it was the hardest to see how old or sick animals look for the eyes of theie owners before going to sleep. The fact is that 90 % of owners don't want to be in a room with a dying animal. People leave so that they don't see their pet pass. But they don't realize that it's in these last moments of life that their pet needs them most.

Veterinarians ask the owners to be close to the animals until the very end. "It's inevitable that they die before you. Don't forget that you were the center of their life. Maybe they were just a part of you. But they are also your family. No matter how hard it is, don't leave them."

Don't let them die in a room with a stranger in a place they don't like. It is very painful for veterinarians to see how pets cannot find their owner during the last minutes of their life. They don't understand why the owner left them. After all, they needed their owner’s consolation.

Veterinarians do everything possible to ensure that animals are not so scared, but they are complete strangers to them. Don't be a coward because it's too painful for you. Think about the pet. Endure this pain for the sake of their pet.

Be with them until the end!

Foster Needed for Tiny Mommy and her Teeny Puppies

This 12 lb chiuhauha mommy was rescued in Waianae and has been with a foster ohana since her 5 puppies were born. They will be 6 weeks on Saturday. Unfortunately the foster is leaving for vacation. We desperately need a new foster ohana for them - for at least 2 to 3 weeks until they are available for foster-to-adopt. Mommy is a sweetheart and the puppies are tiny. PDP provides playpen, puppy pads and food. But what they need most is TLC.

Please message PDP or email [email protected] if you can help these precious cuties.
