A foster parent is someone who provides temporary housing and care for an animal sheltered at Oahu SPCA. Our Foster Care program is designed to provide caring homes where animals can receive more individualized attention. When you foster, you open up space at Oahu SPCA, allowing us to take in and save even more animals. If you are interested in fostering a pet, please fill out an application for a cat or a dog and we will reach out to you once your application is approved.

The Foster Program at Oahu SPCA is critical to our rescue work. It enables us to save more animals and also give pets a warm, loving environment to heal, grow and flourish.

They’re Underage. Puppies and kittens are not ready to be adopted until they are at least eight weeks old. They need time for their immune systems to develop, to receive nourishment, medical care and to be healthy enough for sterilization.

They’re Sick/Injured. Foster homes are a great place for sick or injured animals to heal, wheather they’re recovering from a routine procedure or something more complicated like an orthopedic surgery.

They Need Behavior Modification or Socialization. With people and animals coming and going, our shelter can be overwhelming for some pets. They often prefer a home environment or some one-on-one attention. Others come to us abused, neglected or simply lacking the training or socialization they need to find the right home.

Pet food or milk replacer, food bowls or bottles & nipples, crates, puppy pads, medical care & support.

A safe haven. Love, attention, care and the ability to follow directions from staff and the capability to bring the foster pet in for regular checkups.

In order to foster an Oahu SPCA animal you must:

All of the animals enjoy having new and different things to do each day. We are seeking dedicated animal enrichment program volunteers to help provide stimulating, fun and safe activities for the 3RR residents. Some will require out of the box thinking. Perhaps sending a volunteer hunting at garage sales and recycle stores for items that can be repurposed into safe animal toys. This is a creative and fun volunteer activity that can easily be taken over by a team of friends who want to make a difference in the animals lives. 

Creative construction of hidey holes, houses and tunnels as well as fun substrates to roll in and smell are also welcome. 

There is a great deal of written information on zoo keeper journals etc of ideas others have come up with that can be used or modified for our residents. Building Feeding boxes and animal treat puzzles anyone?

A team could create many items that could be rotated out of a toy chest by the daily Keepers to provide new fun activities. The Enrichment team would not need to be at the sanctuary frequently unless they wanted to be. 

Please Email Ann to discuss

So many animals live in a wide variety of habitats and each of these areas needs regular loving care. Pick one or several and take over the care that that specific zone requires to be safe and look inviting. Most of this is trimming back and raking up, think zen garden for an animal. These can be tasks done twice a month or more frequently depending on the area selected. Email Ann to discuss.

Tools provided, come with a friend or two and have fun. 

We welcome those who have community service hours to complete for court or school. Call Ann and chat about how you can get those hours completed while helping out the animals of 3RR. Many tasks to do and all depending on what skills you may have. All are outdoor and require physical activity. We need everyone from construction, landscaping, electrical, painting you name it we can use help. This can be done around your own work or school hours. 

Extra credit for school (UH) given by some educators if you volunteer here.  Call or email me

Kona Animal Sanctuary: Assist with wildlife rehab and exotic animal care. Keepers can come as often as five times a week or as little as twice a week in the morning or afternoon rounds. Morning feeding rounds begin at 8:00 am and end around 11 am. Afternoon rounds begin at 3:30 pm and last until around 5:30. Rain or shine 365 days a week!

Three Ring Ranch loves our volunteers! Have you ever wanted to work with exotic animals? Care for native & endangered species in a sanctuary setting? This may be just the place for you. Like all kinds of critters?- bison, zebra, flamingos, ostrich, chinchillas, owls, monkeys and the list goes on. This is one of the most rewarding volunteer positions ever.  You get to know the critters and they you. You work with a dedicated team of Keepers who treat you like family. 

We are a very tiny facility (five acres) and all our staff are volunteer. I (Executive Director) am here full time and have a group of dedicated volunteers come daily (some several times a week) as keepers. Keepers are people who are trained to feed and care for the animals. There are 0 paid positions and we do not have housing.

Volunteers come up for several months to learn each of the critters before they are able to feed alone and become a Keeper as there are so many different species and it takes quite a while to become skilled at safely caring for them all. Some volunteers chose not to become Keepers but to come up less often and come for project days on an animals enclosure or to help with the day to day handyman type of jobs that always need doing. Our rounds begin at 8:00 am sharp and last 3+ hours. The afternoon rounds begin at 4 pm and last about 1.5 hours. You must be physically fit to be a keeper, yup this is not for anyone with major limitations.

 The animal feed comes in 50lb bags which you do need to be able to move alone. Most of the time there is someone around who is able to lift and haul but you may get asked to do it with another keeper. Yes you get dirty! You are never asked to do something you are uncomfortable with and never asked to do anything unsafe. We expect our volunteers to be careful and safe for other humans and the critters.

 This is a learning experience and you have to focus and pay attention. At first there is a huge amount of information to process but over time it all comes around. We know it feels like your brain will explode and we don't want that to happen so we take it slow. Everyone learns at their own pace, you do need a minimum of 3 days a week to train. Three-four x a week is better while training. We have to know you will be staying in Kona for 90 days or more to devote the time to training you. If you will be in town for a shorter period we welcome you as an "irregular". Please see other opportunities posted for areas we can use short time help. 

 You need to live in or near Kona to be a volunteer, it just does not work to drive over from Hilo or Kau. Some volunteers come for only a few months or move here to gain the experience while working elsewhere so they can get into school. Volunteers are at least 17 years old for liability reasons. We do not have residential lodging for volunteers other than those in our international,  pre-vet or vet summer programs. See the education pages of our web site for more details on those programs. https://threeringranch.org

 Many volunteers are working at regular jobs and come volunteer during spare time just to enjoy the animals or to get this type of work experience on a resume for a later date. For some it is just a chance to spend a few hours on a regular basis with animals in a place where their health and wellbeing come first. Couples are great volunteer teams! We do love our regular staff who are retired and have that extra time on their hands.

You can learn more about us at  http://www.threeringranch.org

If you live in Kona, have a few days a week to volunteer & want to try or you think that this new residential position sounds like a great opportunity then give me a call at 331-8778 after 6 pm and we can set up a time for a visit. You may also reply to this email.

 All volunteers have signed the volunteer waiver and have proof of insurance prior to orientation. All volunteers are covered at the Sanctuary by a VIS Volunteer Insurance Service policy through the CIMA Company. This policy provides extra accident, liability and auto insurance to our volunteers.

We are in need of the following items to help serve Hawaii's homeless youth.

Daily Food Inspection, Produce - Help sort produce at our warehouse. Volunteers are needed from 9 am – 12 pm or 12 pm – 2:30 pm on weekdays (M-F). Minimum age is 8 years old. Those 8-15 must be with an adult 18 or older. We can accommodate up to 10 volunteers per shift. Groups of 3 or more can be scheduled on Fridays from 9 am – 12 pm.  Volunteers will be required to stand, lift, and bend the entire shift. Volunteers must be fully vaccinated or show proof of a negative covid test within 48 hours of their shift.

Project Visitation is the opportunity for siblings, separated in different homes with different Resource Caregivers, to connect with one another. Through the support of our dedicated volunteers to make such visits come true, Project Visitation brings happy faces to brothers and sisters alike. Relationships continue to flourish and our children and youth enjoy the companionship of a beloved sibling.

Project Visitation can make a difference!

We are looking for individuals, dedicated to helping make a difference in siblings' lives, to serve as Project Visitation volunteers. Each volunteer is paired with a sibling group, who get together for in-person visits once a month. Visits can be as simple as a trip to the beach or neighborhood park - the place truly doesn't matter - it's the experience that makes everything worth it.

All interested applicants must fill out a packet and undergo both Criminal and CAN checks. For more information, please email PV@familyprogramshawaii.org.

We are currently seeking volunteers to help out at our Redistribution Center, where material recovered from deconstruction projects along with donated material is offered for sale to the community as an affordable resource.

Volunteers at our Redistribution Center organize material in our warehouse, accept donations, prepare merchandise for sale, and with assist with general maintenance and upkeep to provide a safe and pleasant customer experience.

Volunteers may also process lumber salvaged from our deconstruction projects by removing nails and trimming damaged wood, or assist our workshop team as they create new items from reclaimed material.

To get started, click the response button and leave us a note telling us a little bit about yourself, why you'd like to volunteer, and when you are available to volunteer. If you prefer you can send email to nat@reusehawaii.org

Re-use Hawai‘i was founded in 2006 as a solution to Oahu's solid waste problem. More than one third of Oahu's waste comes from debris produce by demolition activity. We offer Deconstruction Services as an alternative to demolition. Our skilled teams take apart structures by hand and recover the material for reuse. The recovered material is made available at our Redistribution Center which offers these and other donated materials for sale to the community as an affordable resource

This is a wonderful opportunity for our youth to be involved in solving a social issue here in the community. Hunger pains are real and our homeless children feel them every day. We need you to help stop the pains for these precious children.

Donations towards this program will be used to feed the homeless children during their long winter breaks from schools and holiday meals. Our program provides outreach programs on 3 islands year round. One of the most important aspects to this fundraiser is providing hot nutritional meals to homeless children. During the school year children are able to enjoy a daily meal; however, during the long school breaks that stability is gone. Children can go days without a healthy meal and most children will go to bed hungry. Your support can make the difference in these precious lives.
Help keep our homeless children nourished.
Some examples of the cost and what your donation helps to provide.
Daily breakfast is $5.50
Daily Lunch is $7.50
2 Daily Snacks is $3.50
Dinner is $7.50
You make the difference each dollar at a time.

There are many ways to be involved in the solution of ending hunger for our homeless children. When asked, children come up with some really great ideas on their own and can really help them in their own learning process of problem solving.
Here are some examples that have been successful in the past that are lead by the children.
1. Children have cleared out their closet of their unwanted toys. Put them together and sold them to the neighbors and on social media to raise funds to help a homeless child. This teaches the child the value of money, how to negotiate sales, customer service and the fulfillment of being able to make an impact with their own means.
2. Other children have hosted bake sales for their own family, offering to make desserts or other goodies for a gathering or a special dinner.
3. One classroom sold coffee every morning at parent drop off and actually raised $1,500 in one week.
4. A group of teens washed cars for the elderly. Had their family and friends sponsor a donation for the cars washed, donated their earnings to help feed our children.
The possibilities are endless, our youth have wonderful creative ideas and in the end everyone gains something from the experience of feeding homeless children.

We also have a social media challenge. Post our link to Share a Meal and allow your friends and family to sponsor a child for just $7.
This too can be very interactive and creative. Your child can make a short video of why they choose to partner with Project Hawai’i, Inc. and help feed homeless children, and put a challenge of their own for others to do the same.

You can share your impactful campaign to Facebook, Instagram, TickTock or other platforms and make a difference today.

We work with dozens of new and aspiring entrepreneurs who are launching small businesses across Hawai'i. Most of the entrepreneurs we support are running their own food trucks, making their famous family cookie recipe and selling at local farmer's markets, or building the next brand of Hawai'i grown hot sauce. We work with entrepreneurs from the farm to the table and help teach them the 101 of building a viable business. 

As tax season rolls around, we want to help ensure our businesses know how to file their business taxes. We're seeking a trainer to do 2 session, each 2 hours training on the "basics" of business taxes to groups of our entrepreneurs. This wouldn't involve any one-on-one tax advising, just a general course so our clients know what questions to ask, what they should be doing, and can proactively plan to file their 2021 taxes. 

Times and schedules can be flexible to your needs, and we can accommodate virtual or in-person trainings. 

Help sort dry goods at our warehouse. Volunteers are needed from 9 am – 12 pm or 1 pm – 3pm on weekdays (M-F). Minimum age is 8 years old. Those 8-15 must be with an adult 18 or older.

As they launch their businesses and online presence, they need high quality photos to showcase their work, tell their story, and support their business growth. 

We need volunteers to come to the PGC facilities or farms and do 3 hours worth of photo shoots, followed by 2 hours of editing (estimated) to help capture these photos. Proper crediting can be arranged with our clients!

Friends of Iolani Palace is in need of koa wood to create stanchions (posts for rope barriers).

These stanchions are necessary to guide visitors safely through the palace, protect the important cultural resources of the Hawaiian Monarchy, and organize events. There are two types of stanchions that we need to create more of: a regular stanchion and a stanchion that holds signs

Iolani Palace has the largest koa wood structure in the world, its Grand Staircase. As a historic site, we use koa wood for the stanchions to perpetuate a seamless historic appearance for the Palace. 

This production project includes a total of 14 stanchions & 20 stanchion signs. To better help your understanding of how much and what size wood we need, these are the measurements as follows:

Stanchion base: 2" x 10" x 10"
