Howdy and howzit!

Hawaii Island Humane Society invites you to join us in celebrating our service to critter companions and the people who love them at our 28th Tropical Paws gala on Saturday, March 21, 2026, at the Four Seasons Resort Hualālai.

Hosted by Mileka Lincoln, our “Boots 'n Bling”-themed celebration will include an outdoor cocktail reception with a curated silent auction, a haystack lounge with adoptable dogs, a photo booth to snap your pic with an adoptable puppy, a gourmet buffet dinner with wine, an exciting live auction with unique experiences, an inspiring look at our mission, and live Hawaiian country & western music with Kala'e & Kalena to get you kicking your heels up on the dance floor. The event starts at 4:30 p.m. in the Four Seasons ballroom’s garden courtyard; ballroom doors open at 6 p.m.

It is our greatest honor to have made a positive impact in the lives of both people and animals for 61 years. With your support, we can do even more in the years ahead.
