How does the field trips for dogs program work?

The island of Kauai is very dog-friendly and allows furry friends on most trails, beaches, and other locations. Not only will it give you a dog fix but it helps get dogs out of the kennels for exercise, companionship, and fun!

Is there a charge to take a dog on a field trip while visiting Kauai?

The program is free but the humane society requests a $40 donation if you can. And, if you fall in love with the dog you borrow, no worries, the Kauai Humane Society will help arrange for you to adopt the dog and send it home with you!
