Rainbow Friends Animal Sanctuary
Last few days to Give Aloha!
Sep 27th
If you make a donation to Rainbow Friends at any Foodland or Sack N Save store, using your Maika’i Card, then Foodland and the Western Union Foundation will make a matching gift, based on the percentage of all donations received. Donations can be large or small – if everyone rounded their grocery bill to the nearest dollar, then a lot of money could be raised (rounding to the nearest 10 dollars would raise even more!) Remember, the more donations we receive, the larger our percentage of the $300,000 matching gift! But time is running out! Please come to Foodland or More >
Mr Hamilton RIP
Sep 20th
At the age of 17, the last 9 years of which were spent living at the Sanctuary, Hamilton, the pot-bellied / wild-boar pig has passed over the Rainbow Bridge.
He was quite a character. You would come across him foraging around in the undergrowth, especially underneath the cat-feeding table, as he loved to eat cat food.
You will be missed Hamilton.
Sep 2011: Prince & Ena
Sep 1st
This month there are not one, but two, featured pets. They are a brother and sister, Prince and Ena, who came to Rainbow Friends Animal Sanctuary almost a year ago. They are both very active and so need a home where they can run and play and go on long walks with you. They do necessarily have to be housed together and they will be forever grateful if you could give one of them a home and the attention that they need and deserve.
puppies are pau
Sep 1st
All the little puppies that were rescued at the beginning of summer have now been adopted! We would like to say a big mahalo to all the families who welcomed Keo, Lena, Pepper, Bear, Kayla, Suki, and Kapena into their homes.
Give Aloha – during the month of September
Aug 31st
If you make a donation to Rainbow Friends Animal Sanctuary at any Foodland or Sack N Save between Sept 1st and 30th 2011, showing your Maika’i Card, then Foodland and the Western Union Foundation will make a matching gift, based on the percentage of all donations received, up to a total of $300,000 for all organizations.
The more donations that Rainbow Friends receive, the larger our percentage of the $300,000 matching gift! So come on down to Foodland and Sack N Save and help us raise funds faster! Our organization code is 78636.

Volunteer Orientation Sessions
Aug 15th
We are always in need of more volunteers to share the load. New volunteers usually start out walking dogs and cleaning catteries, but there is a wide range of work that needs to be undertaken.
Orientation sessions for new volunteers will now be held on Tuesdays at 10 am. Please see our volunteer page for more details.
If you are interested in spending some time helping us look after the roughly 300 animals that reside at the sanctuary please call (808) 982 5110 to register.

Only one puppy left …
Aug 13th
… and he is starting to feel lonely. Kapena was rescued along with 7 other puppies and his mom. His brothers and sisters have all found homes, but Kapena is still at the sanctuary awaiting his new family. He is now 11 weeks old, has had his first two sets of shots and is a healthy, playful little boy. If you have a puppy-friendly place, could he find a home with you?
Note 9/1/11: Kapena, too, has now found his own for-ever home!
