HIKES FOR HOMES 2 ( The Oahu SPCA ) "Waydes World Hawaii"

The Oahu Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and Wayde's World Hawaii's "Hikes for Homes" is a joint campaign to provide a fun and healthy environment where shelter dogs can meet and mingle with the public. We get the dogs out of the shelter and onto the trails in the hope of them being adopted by those attending the hikes or even by those we come across on the trail. We give those interested in adoption a hands on experience to see how these dogs react in the outdoors and with their families, children and even other dogs before they choose to adopt them or not. This is also a great way for the shelter dogs to continue their rehabilitation back into society and into a new family home. With this heightened exposure with "Hikes for Homes" individuals and families continue to be moved to adopt the sheltered dogs, saving a life and giving them a forever home.

On hiking day, usually the last Saturday of the month, the Oahu SPCA core volunteers meet at the shelter and along with the consultation of staff select from 10-15 dogs for the hike. They accompany the dogs as their handlers and monitor their behavior throughout the activity. Joining up with Wayde Fishman and his Kama'aina Hiking group, Wayde's World Hawaii, the Oahu SPCA has been able to broaden its trailblazing to a variety of new hikes with Wayde's guides. This allows a fun and safe environment for hiking groups of up to 80 adults, children and animals. The Oahu SPCA now expands their hikes beyond Makapu'u Lighthouse Trail to such hikes as Mariners Ridge, Aiea loop trail, The Old Pali Road and others trails suited for Dogs and families. Wayde's large following and core base has allowed "Hikes for homes" to grow over the last year and become a once a month family event for everyone who loves animals.
The Oahu SPCA is a NO KILL animal shelter located in Kapolei. They are funded through private donations and grants. Each month They rescue, rehabilitate and re-home approximately 60 abused, abandoned or neglected animals.
If you enjoy the company of dogs, friendly people, and the outdoors please come out with your family and your own dogs to support sheltered animals on Oahu.

How hard is it to take these dogs back to the mainland ? Maybe you can figure that out....that would increase their chances of being adopted.

I love my adopted dog...."best dog in the world" we call him. Would love to see more being rescued.
