Heroes on Both Ends of the Leash

Partnering expertly trained service dogs with military veterans, first responders, and bringing comfort, education, and healing to Hawaii’s schools and hospitals.

The Mission &
Our $100,000 Goal

Every service dog journey represents dedication, resilience, and connection. At Hawaii Fi-Do, we know true heroism is found on both ends of the leash.

To meet the growing needs of our community across the islands, we have set a goal to raise $100,000. Your generous contribution directly powers three essential pillars of service:

Breeding, Training & Placement: Fully funds the comprehensive lifecycle costs to acquire, train, and place 2 to 3 new assistance dogs with individuals in need.
Successor Dog Continuity: Guarantees seamless, uninterrupted support for experienced handlers when their faithful service dog reaches retirement age.
Educational & Community Outreach: Expands hands-on educational visits, assemblies, and therapeutic demonstrations across Hawaii Department of Education (DOE) public schools, keiki classrooms, hospitals, and healthcare facilities at no cost to the institutions.
