Aloha Animal Sanctuary
Aloha Animal Sanctuary is O'ahu's First 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Sanctuary for Farmed Animals. THE SANCTUARY was founded by a team of animal rights activists who recognized there was a need for a sanctuary for farmed animals on O'ahu. Many people have never had the chance to interact with animals like pigs, cows, chickens, or turkeys, although we slaughter and eat them by the billions annually. We want to help people form personal connections with these animals, and see them for the individuals that they are.
Located at the base of the lush Ko'olau Mountain Range in Kahalu'u, Kaneohe, Aloha Animal Sanctuary rests on 2 acres of land. Just a hop and a skip from the ocean, the property enjoys the sea breeze and ample rainfall which keeps temperatures mild and cool for the animals.
Only in operation since January 2019, we are working towards a sustainable expansion of our sanctuary.
There are so many animals that need help and although we cannot help them all, we hope we can influence our visitors to live compassionately towards animals.

SOI DOG FOUNDATION
"Soi Dog Foundation (Soi Dog) was established in 2003 in Phuket, Thailand, to help the street dogs and cats who had no-one else to care for them. Over 70,000 strays roamed the island, with the numbers growing alarmingly due to a lack of spay and neuter programmes to control the population. Soi Dog was created to provide a humane and sustainable solution to managing the stray population and to address their medical needs.
