The primary focus of the Community Dog Wellness Program is expanding access to affordable spay and neuter
services,which is the most effective long-term strategy for preventing unwanted litters and reducing the number of
dogs entering Hawai'i County's shelter system. While Action 4 Animals Hawaii is widely recognized for rescuing,
fostering,transporting, and adopting homeless animals,we believe that preventing unwanted litters before they
occur is essential to addressing the root cause of dog overpopulation. Community education and grassroots
outreach support these efforts by encouraging responsible pet ownership and connecting residents with available
resources.Temporary dog food assistance and emergency veterinary assistance further complement the program
by helping families overcome financial barriers that might otherwise prevent them from accessing essential and
preventative veterinary care or result in pet surrender.

Action 4 Animals Hawaii promotes the well-being of cats and dogs on the Big Island through rescue, adoption,

Action 4 Animals Hawaii aims to provide direct assistance to Hawai'i County dog owners experiencing financial
barriers to essential pet care. Measurable outcomes will include assisting community members with spay and
neuter services to help prevent unwanted litters and reduce the number of dogs entering the shelter system,
providing temporary dog food assistance to families experiencing financial hardship to help them keep their pets
safely in their homes, and providing emergency veterinary assistance for dogs requiring urgent care to help prevent
surrender or abandonment due to unexpected veterinary expenses. These outcomes will be used to evaluate the
effectiveness of the program and document how the requested funds directly benefit dogs and families throughout
Hawai'i County. The overall goal is to provide timely assistance that supports responsible pet ownership, prevents
avoidable pet surrender, and contributes to reducing the number of dogs entering the local shelter system.
