Second Chance Program: We partner with the Kauai Humane Society (KHS), helping to alleviate the extreme strain on their organization. As the only open-admission shelter on Kaua'i, KHS is responsible for taking in every animal brought to them. When requested, we will take animals from them that have severe medical or behavioral needs to assist them with their life-saving goals. We believe increasing Kaua'i's live release rates needs to be a collaborative effort, so we are happy to work with KHS to save more lives. Intake Diversion Program: This program helps animals avoid ending up at our local animal shelter in order to help alleviate the burden on our shelter system.Veterinary Assistance Program: To help Kaua'i pet owners who are struggling financially, we are now offering to help subsidize the cost of veterinary care for their pets. This can include (but is not limited to) assistance with preventative medication like vaccinations and flea/tick and heartworm medication, spay/neuter surgeries, emergency surgery, dental care and more. This program is dependent on the funding we have available and applications are considered on a first-come, first-served basis. To date, we have helped families with their veterinary care needs through this program.Transfer Program: With countless homeless animals on Kaua'i and not enough adoptive homes to accommodate them all, our transfer program relocates animals to locations on the West Coast where there is demand for adoptable animals. Working with rescues and shelters in California, Oregon, and Washington, we regularly send animals to our amazing partners who find homes for these animals quickly, helping alleviate the pet overpopulation issue on Kaua'i. We transferred three animals in 2021.Pet Food Relief Program: Our Pet Food Relief Program aims to help pet owners on Kauai who are struggling financially by providing free dog and cat food. We partner with the Kauai Food bank and distribute food at the Church of the Pacific in Princeville, St. Williams in Hanalei, and Hanalei Colony Resort in Haena. Food is also available to individual applicants.Spay/Neuter Program: We provide a safety net for Kauais homeless pets that cannot be saved by existing rescues. We offer free spay/neuter services to those who cannot afford it and work with other rescue partners to spay/neuter the islands feral population

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Other IRS files
Auto-Revocation List
Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.
Publication 78
Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.
These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
