Pets In Hawaii 67 Are you or your children up for the challenge? Cats like Brennecke can require a great amount of work. Just ensure that you have transportation for your pet–especially large dogs–as your pet must be secured in its container until you leave airport property. Another option is Island Pet Movers (IslandPetMovers.com; 808-783-8419) that relocates pets to and from Hawaii, and the U.S. Mainland and Neighbor Islands. Check the Pet Services tab for military-specific details and updates. This veteranowned company processes all required documents in person and assures same-day release of your pet to you at the airport. Ask about your military discount. Since there is typically a waiting list for on-base housing, it could take days or weeks to find an off-base rental allowing pets. Few hotels allow pets.

The MWR has a large outdoor boarding facility in Halawa Valley near Pearl City that contains 196 covered dog kennels, 19 cat kennels, grassy lawns, and large exercise and play areas.
