Kohala Animal Relocation and Education Service (KARES)
The mission of KARES is to rescue and relocate abused, abandoned and stray domestic animals, to provide temporary housing for them through our foster care network and to facilitate adoptions into caring permanent homes.
A widespread interest to create an organization adhering to a “no kill” philosophy gave birth to the Kohala Animal Relocation & Education Service (KARES) which serves the entire Big Island of Hawaii. The mission of KARES is to rescue and relocate abused, abandoned and stray domestic animals, to provide temporary housing for them through our foster care network and to facilitate adoptions into caring permanent homes. KARES focuses on community education to promote responsible pet ownership and to prevent animal cruelty. KARES raises awareness about the causes of animal overpopulation and advocates alternative humane solutions for pet population control including spay and neuter. KARES makes possible affordable or free spay/neuter procedures and conducts spay/neuter clinics in various community locations, those without readily accessible low cost or free spay/neuter services. KARES emphasis is on reaching community residents who do not have the financial resources to provide these surgeries for their companion pets, especially the elderly and economically-troubled residents.
