The Oahu Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) and the Hawaiian Humane Society (HHS) are top resources for essential information about domestic pets in the Hawaiian Islands. Websites display photos of pooches and kitties just waiting for a new forever home. First and foremost, you’ll need to update your pet’s I.D. If your pet is already microchipped, HHS will refresh your contact details in the Hawaii database. If not, the HHS $20 microchip fee also covers database registration. OSPCA also offers microchipping at Petco events. A schedule is posted on the website’s home page. All dogs three months and older must wear a county-issued license tag available from HHS or any Satellite City Hall. For more details, visit the HHS website at HawaiianHumane.org.
