Adopting a shelter animal is a rewarding experience. Shelter animals are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and behavior and health tested saving you time and money. You can be confident that you will be adopting a healthy animal. In addition to dogs and cats we frequently have rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, and even horses, goats, turtles. Visit us in Kona, Waimea, or Keaau. |

| TRAINING/INFORMATION | |
| Paws University | Paws has been West Hawaii’s premier pet day care, pet boarding and pet training facility since 2002. Our seven-acre campus is designed for dogs to have lots of room to play and interact. We have created an environment where active dogs can play and frolic, while less active dogs, or other pets, have a safe place where they can relax yet still get the exercise they need.
Since opening our facility in 2002, we have had the pleasure of providing our services to thousands of dogs and their human parents. |

| Nose For Adventure | With our Base Camp we are able to offer more than just our hikes. Now we can provide Play Care and Boarding! In Play care your dog or pup are allowed to play and socialize with the other dogs. Gentle play is encouraged and over aggressive play is redirected or outright discouraged. They are taught to play nice with dogs of all sizes and energy types. There is nothing better than taking your otherwise rambunctious dog home exhausted and happy, ready to eat dinner and pass out the rest of the night! |

Feeding rmb is less expensive than feeding so-called "premium" kibble s that are primarily sugary starches. |
