Storm Response: Stepping Up for Oʻahu's Animals After the Floods

· Aloha Animal Outreach

This past week, severe flooding devastated communities across Oʻahu. Families were displaced, camps were washed out, and animals were left without food, shelter, or their owners. Our team didn’t wait — we loaded up and headed out.

The Response

Over the weekend, our volunteers hit the ground running. In partnership with incredible organizations across the island, we distributed food, leashes, collars, kennels, and other essential supplies to communities impacted by the flooding.

~2,500 lbs
of dog food distributed across Oʻahu in one weekend

We covered a lot of ground, reaching animals and families at:

  • Waikōmō
  • Keaʻau
  • Barbers Point
  • Wailua
  • Lāʻie
  • Campbell Industrial Park
  • Kalaeloa
  • Kapolei
  • White Plains
  • Waiʻanae Boat Harbor

Community and Partnership

None of this was possible alone. The outpouring of support from our community and partner organizations was overwhelming:

  • Hina’s Legacy Rescue Foundation donated 1,800 lbs of dog food
  • Toe Beans contributed 200 lbs of food and supplies
  • Fur Angel Foundation provided another 200 lbs of food

Beyond food, community members came together to donate leashes, collars, kennels, and anything else they could. The number of people who stepped up to help in a time of crisis was truly incredible.

The Work Continues

Our volunteers are not stopping. Distributions are ongoing, and we are continuing to reach communities that were hit hardest by the flooding. If you know of animals or families in need, reach out to us.
