This has been a long overdue review. I have known the Fur-Angel Foundation for about 5-7 years and I been in awe of the work that they do! From offering pet care education to the younger generation to saving animals in need, they have done a lot to help the dog community. I began volunteering my photography services to them in order to help these dogs find their forever home.
After taking multiple photos and getting to know these dogs one on one, I finally was blessed to have come across, meet and adopt a Pomeranian chihuahua from them this year. The process was quite easy. They took my information, got to know me and my family more to see if I was a match with the pet, and placed me in on trial run. There were no hiccups whatsoever and if I had any questions or vice versa, we were able to communicate smoothly. All the work they do is so amazing and I'm so grateful to have come across and work with this organization!
I have been a foster volunteer for FAF for a year now and I cannot say enough good things about this foundation. From the start, the positivity, passion and energy they have for what they do is through the roof. It made me want to do better for the animals and help in any way that I could. During my foster process we ended up adopting our very own little pup. Some would call it a “foster fail” but in our eyes we called it a “foster nail” because we nailed it!! We couldn’t be happier with our pup. She definitely chose us as much as we chose her, and all of our lives are better for it. Without FAF, we would have never found the most perfect pup for us. And for that, we owe them the world. I look forward to the next little foster pup that comes our way and to continue in the journey of helping animals in need on the island of Oahu. Thank you FAF!
Fostering through Fur Angel was such a rewarding experience! Great and fast communication for anything we needed/had questions on. Everything was so smooth. They truly are “angels” for the less fortunate pups on our island.
Fur-Angel foundation helped me find a home for a beautiful pup I found but was unable to keep. They are so very caring and do such amazing work.
Our dog was a puppy when he and his siblings were found on a hiking trail. Fur Angel Foundation took these puppies in and made sure they received the medical care they needed. We met one of the puppies at a community event and it was love at first sight! The adoption process was so smooth and easy. Fast forward seven years and we can’t imagine life without Toby (aka, Tobenstein, Tobster, Toby-obi, Tobilinski). We are forever grateful to Fur Angel Foundation for making our adoption possible!
We are fostering our fourth pup this year through Fur-Angel Foundation. They are a truly amazing organization with foster coordinators so passionate about helping dogs in need. I feel really honored to be able to contribute a small part to all the great work they’re doing.
I recently had the pleasure of adopting a furry companion from Fur Angels, and my experience was truly exceptional. This no-kill shelter is a haven for animals, providing them with the care and love they deserve. From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me warmly, and their genuine passion for animal welfare was evident.
The shelter itself was clean and well-maintained, creating a comfortable and safe environment for the animals. The dedication and expertise of the staff shone through as they patiently answered all my questions and guided me through the adoption process. They genuinely cared about finding the perfect match for both the animals and their prospective owners.
What impressed me the most was the comprehensive care provided to the animals at Fur Angels. Each furry resident received top-notch medical attention, proper nutrition, and enrichment activities to keep them happy and healthy. The staff's commitment to the well-being of the animals was truly inspiring.
The adoption process was smooth and efficient, with all necessary paperwork handled efficiently. The staff took the time to understand my preferences and helped me find the perfect furry friend who has seamlessly integrated into my family. I could feel the genuine joy they shared as I took my new companion home.
Adopting from Fur Angels was a truly rewarding experience, knowing that I was giving a second chance to a deserving animal. The ongoing support and resources provided by the shelter even after adoption have been invaluable. It's heartwarming to see the positive impact Fur Angels has on the lives of these animals and the community.
I wholeheartedly recommend Fur Angels to anyone looking to adopt a pet. Their dedication, compassion, and commitment to animal welfare are unparalleled. By choosing Fur Angels, you not only give a loving home to a deserving animal but also support an incredible organization making a real difference in the lives of these precious creatures.
Thank you, Fur Angels, for the wonderful work you do, and for bringing so much happiness and love into the lives of animals and their forever families.

I have been following fur angel for years, donating when I can to help homeless dogs that they rescue! I’ve always loved watching how many dogs they have rescued and placed in very loving homes and that you can follow the dogs journey in their new home. Then I lost my dog and found a dog to rescue from them. I love that they are very careful in choosing what home each dog goes in. If it’s the right fit for both the dog and the new owners. I love that fur angel creates a community that you and you rescued dog can return and see the other dogs that have been rescued! This organization has so so much for so many animals and found forever loving homes!!
After both our pups passed, We didn't think about adopting, until Coco walked into our lives. He's changed our lives...... then broke every rule in the house, and then some. I'm glad we have him a second chance
I’ve known Tiffany, owner of Fur-Angel Foundation, for a long time. I was so happy adopting my puppy Kaleo from her! She even hooked me up with Kaleo’s siblings. We have a puppy play date every other month. Because of her, our pups will be furever together and us owners are family now. FAF is an awesome non-profit organization that helps save lives of our four legged friends and place them in loving homes because these dogs deserve it. Please help support FAF any way you can whether it’s adopting, being a foster parent, donating supplies or making a monetary contribution towards expensive vet bills that have occurred from some dogs. Mahalo nui loa!
We have seen for so many years what the Fur-Angel Foundation has done and continues to do for our community. We all wish dogs were not mistreated or without a home full of love. They go beyond wishing, they make that happen everyday for so many precious lives. We personally know dogs that have found they're forever homes. Dogs that are older and not perfect (as some say) but just as deserving to have a forever family who cherishes and loves them. That's what the Fur-Angel Foundation does...and we are happy to do our little part to support them.
Fur Angel Foundation helped us find our pup while providing critical care to Piper as an abandoned baby suffering from the deadly Parvovirus. They took her in and saved her life and now she is the love and energy in this hale! They never gave up on Piper, through all of her struggles, one beautiful Fur Angel soul nursed her back to health while wearing protective gear so her own pup would not be exposed to the virus. No agency goes farther when securing homes for previously abandoned or houseless dogs. They are true Fur Angels. My husband, myself and Piper are honored to be a part of their nonprofit ohana and look forward to more foster fails!
I have 3 adopted dogs from this organization! They care about each and every dog that they take in and it is their mission to find a loving forever home for all of them!
Fur Angel Foundation is an outstanding organization that I’ve been able to be a part of. The passion and sense of community is definitely a huge part of how many furry lives they have saved! I’ve been able to see first hand how much support and care they put into rescuing helpless dogs with finding a loving home. Their purpose is clear. Every dog has a backstory that deserves recognition and every dog deserves every chance to have a family. FAF is truly committed to have every single dog under their wing. I wish nothing but continued support and success for this amazing organization!
Fur-Angel Foundation(FAF) is truly a family, not just a dog adoption organization. I have had the pleasure of loving 4 wonderful dogs from FAF. Their involvement in the lives of their dogs doesn’t stop at adoption, either. If one of their alums gets sick or needs help, everyone will rally to help in donations for vet bills or care. They take care of making sure a dog goes to the exact type of foster care or home it needs to flourish. Although they take great care in placing a dog in the right home, there are times it doesn’t work out and that dog will go back to FAF until another appropriate home is found.
Just Jack was the first dog I’ve met and loved from FAF. He was a sweet and gentle giant who loved car rides, treats in a Kong, and loved his Mama. He also took great care of his sister Molly, also from FAF. She was a fun and strong little girl who overcame so many issues in her past. She loved making her family laugh and she genuinely loved everyone she met. When Jack had to leave for the Rainbow Bridge, Molly took in a little puppy named Cooper from FAF. Cooper and Molly loved to nap together, share treats, play, and love their family. When Molly joined Jack at the Rainbow Bridge, Cooper wasn’t sure what to do with himself being the only dog, so his Mom found another puppy up for adoption through FAF. Cooper currently lives with his newest little sister Kiki, and they love to play together, nap on top of each other, and watch over the backyard from their living room windows.
I recommend everyone I know to adopt a rescue, and can’t recommend FAF enough. I will always choose this organization when I feel the need to add a new furry family member.
Fur Angel Foundation is an amazing organization. As a proud volunteer, I can firmly assure all members of FAF save every ounce of love, care, and support for our furry friends.
This organization has helped not only a countless amount of dogs with colorful backstories, but our very own fur-family members. We love our FAF community!
Fur Angle Foundation was so great to work with. Very professional and great communication. They were so supportive with our first foster experience. I was so impressed with how well they matched a dog to our family. Their passion and expertise shine bright
What an awesome dog rescue we have on Oahu! Their goal this year is to rescue, spay and neuter 200 dogs throughout the island community. Better yet the nonprofit goes to the schools with an education program to teach how to care for animals and how to treat them respectively. They have processed hundreds of adoptions since 2014 from every part of Oahu. I am proud to say that I myself adopted four dogs from Fur Angel Foundation and would do it again if I had a bigger home. They are deserving of recommendation and recognition.

Fur Angel Foundation is truly an asset to the Oahu community. They take dogs that are strays, surrendered, domestic abuse victims, rescued from animal hoards...whatever the need Fur Angel Foundation steps in to help dogs. As a smaller rescue without a brick and mortar facility, dogs are placed in vetted foster homes. The great part of being with a foster is the dogs are able to socialize with humans, other animals, and potty and crate training is reinforced. Everything is provided for the foster. All dogs are neutered, vaccinated, and treated for flea/tick and heartworm. I adopted two dogs rescued by Fur Angel Foundation and they are my pride and joy. Because this awesome organization is so well respected and I admire what they do for dogs, I became a coordinator for them four years ago. I am privileged to say I love being a Fur Angel Foundation supporter.❤️
If you love dogs, you will love this group. They really hustle and help all the dogs they can possibly help. I have fostered 20 dogs with them in 2 years time and each one was place with in 1 - 2 months. And the new owners were always a perfect match. Just like how it takes a village to raise a child, it's the same for a foster dog. This group finds vet care, businesses, volunteers, community outreach, food and supplies. It's all encompassing. This was my first time fostering and didn't know what to expect. But now I'm very acclimated to all types of dogs and their needs. It's a very rewarding job.
Fur Angel is awesome! They really care about the animals they take care of and make sure every fur baby gets a great home. We were looking for a new family member and companion for our dog DJ. We were blessed with the opportunity to foster to adopt Meli girl (formerly known as Ume)! She’s the sweetest pup ever and can’t wait to take her on adventures. We can’t thank Fur Angel Foundation enough! Mahalo nui loa!
Adoption was so quick, so easy, and worked out so well. The people are all so friendly, it really was a joy. There’s really nothing bad I can say in the slightest. Highly recommended.
Our family dog of 16 years had recently passed and we were looking for a new puppy for our family. We came across fur angel foundation on Instagram and submitted our application in hopes a match would come up in the near future for us. Our dog, which was one of the 5 Pom mix puppies was selected for us by the great volunteers at FAF. Everest who we now call Evie is the sweetest most energetic puppy and we are so very happy with her. She gets a long well with our 7 and 2 year old very well. Nohea and Tiffany made the adoption process so easy, safe and special for us. Owning a new pet is a long time commitment and I feel like if you just “shop” for a dog, you never know their temperament or how they will fit in with your family. Adopting means you can find the best fit for your family and you help an animal in need of a loving home. I highly suggest you adopt and choose FAF as your contact to find your next pet, you won’t be disappointed! Thank you so much Fur Angel Foundation!
I had previously fostered a litter of puppies with another organization, and when it was time for them to be adopted, I had no idea where the puppies I had cared for all those weeks went. I decided to foster with the Fur-Angle foundation instead, and it was a completely different experience - for the better! They interviewed me, took a virtual tour of my home, and while a lengthy process, it reassured me that they really cared about their dogs. When I took in my first foster with them, Liko, I was nervous because she was so scared and didn't even want to come into our house. However, the people at the Fur-Angel Foundation are always available and answered my call and gave me tips on how to make her feel safe. Shortly thereafter, Liko seemed to break out of her shell and became a completely different dog! Soon, she was ready for adoption and I was able to meet her new family and feel confident that Liko was going to a good home. The Fur-Angel Foundation also does a trial period to ensure it is a good fit, and they get updates on their dogs as well! It made me feel so good to give Liko a temporary home to open up and be comfortable with people and other dogs, and even better to see how much her new family loved her and know she was going to a great home. Would highly recommend the Fur Angel Foundation to anyone wanting to foster and to families looking to adopt!
If you’re thinking of fostering or adopting a dog, think of Fur Angel Foundation (FAF). I researched options for adopting a dog on Oahu and had put in some inquiries with other organizations but didn’t hear back from them. One day as I was scrolling Instagram, I saw that one of my friends had recently adopted a dog from FAF. I looked up their website and filled out an adoption application for one of the dogs. They contacted me within a couple of days and said that the dog was already in the process of being adopted but that they would put me on a list and let me know if they find a dog who might be a good fit. A few weeks later, they contacted me about a foster dog who urgently needed a new place to stay. The next day, I met my girl Genevieve, aka Jenny. After a couple of days I knew she was the dog for me. She is seriously the best dog ever!!!
I’ve followed and seen all the good work Fur-Angel Foundation has done over the years. I’m so impressed with their commitment to the animals, fosters, and families that ultimately get blessed with these fur babies!
When our family was finally ready to add a member back into our family, we came across this beauty and had to have her! From the moment I made contact with FAF, they took care of everything, made us feel comfortable with the transition, and stayed with us all the way through until Hina girl (and us lol) was happy at home. Thank you FAF for everything and can’t wait to share more amazing stories as Hina grows up!
Faf is a great non profit to work with. I was one of the first foster moms that worked with them. Faf take really great care of their rescued fur babies and takes time in having to place them in a perfect forever home. As a foster mom I appreciated that they made sure we were well equipped to care for the fur babies.
FAF was very pleasant and very accommodating. They were also very patient with my timelines and my questions. They make sure that your family, your living situation and your new pet are compatible. Friendly and knowledgeable! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to add to their ohana! Leina is the perfect addition to the family!
I’ve had an amazing time as a volunteer and a foster for 2 different dogs with Fur Angel Foundation. They provide the absolute best care possible for their pups and really care about placing them with the best match. They care so much about what they do and it really shows in the happy faces of the pups and families that are blessed to be a part of FAF.
We got our Figgy through FAF. We started off as a foster then fell in love with our foster. We wear our “Foster Fail” badge proudly. FAF was great to work with and they answered all our questions and concerns throughout the foster and adoption process.
I had 5 dogs at 1 time. 3 of them passed away in 2012. The 4th in 2013 and the last, the youngest, was diagnosed with cancer (in his right front leg) in late 2013. His vet said he had about 4 months. With the vet’s help he lived just shy of 2 years from his diagnosis. The cancer later jumped into his front left leg and not too long after we had to put him down. When he passed we decided no more dogs.
About a month or so went by and I saw a little puppy on FB posted by Fur-Angel Foundation. He was so cute and I felt we need the energy of our dog in our lives again, and not a dog from a breeder or pet store. We made arrangements to meet the pup with Tiffany, co-founder of Fur-Angel Foundation. She did tell us in advance that someone else was interested in the puppy and had already met the puppy. She called us later to let us know the first couple wanted the puppy. She said if we were interested, she had another rescue we could meet. She was a tiny terrier chihuahua mix, black with a little white. She was rescued from a home that had about 69 dogs living inside and out. She was very timid and shy but she immediately took to my boyfriend. She sat comfortably on his lap and melted his heart. We had to fill out a application and then Tiffany needed to come and check out our home and see how the little one reacted. We were happy to be accepted. A few weeks went by and we felt that our new little “Hanai”, AKA Princess Lea, should have a companion to keep her company when we are at work. I reached out to Tiffany again and she said there was another dog that was being fostered with Hanai and he was still looking for a forever home. So we met him and it was obvious Hanai loved him. Both of them were so happy to see each other. So we applied and we’re successful in adopting “Olale’a”, AKA Raider. Both were already spayed and neutered by Fur-Angel team.
We are getting ready to celebrate 6 years with these 2 little loves. They bring so much joy to our lives and to each other. They are inseparable. Thank you Tiffany and Kiley for introducing us to our 2 4-legged kids. You do Great work with all the puppies and dogs you rescue and foster, and finding forever homes for them. Thank you, Thank you!
I adopted my dog Coco from Fur-Angel after noticing her as a foster on a friend’s social media. She was too cute and got me motivated to adopt. The FAF team was great. Tiffany was friendly and helpful throughout the adoption process and she’s kept in touch since. This scrappy, small group really truly cares about finding good homes for their adoptable pets. They also work hard to ensure the animals are well-cared for while they wait for their fur-ever home. I recommend them to anyone I know who’s looking to adopt a dog.
I fostered JD. They were easy to work with and made sure he got the necessary shots and neutering. I helped find a potential family for JD and they were really easy to work with in the adoption process. I will be fostering again in the future.
I’ve seen Fur-Angel Foundation change so many animals’ AND people’s lives. They have a thorough process that ensures the animals are going to a great home/new family before completing the adoption process. 5 stars and more for this nonprofit.
I've worked with several nonprofits over the years, and not only did I end up adopting my dream dog from FAF (Fur-Angel Foundation) but I can personally attest to their high standards and transparency!
They are organized and genuinely care about their volunteers and the pups being housed with FAF. Highly recommended!!!
It’s been 3 years since I adopted Kenji and Jade from the fur Angel Foundation. They do such a great job preparing the dogs for adoption. They are groomed and up to date on their medical care.
Fur-Angel Foundation sets up new owners for success! 3 years ago I adopted Rusty (now Frankie) and was a little nervous about adding a new member to the family. But FAF took care of his crate training, potty training, and all basic medical attention. I felt so much better and could devote all my attention to Frankie right away. Their volunteers are kind and their foster homes are wonderful temporary homes for the pups. I’m thankful for their amazing care of Frankie before he came to my home!
I absolutely love the work, the people, the pups, and most of all the mission of Fur-Angel Foundation! This foundation has the most caring and giving group of people who have the utmost respect, dedication, and love for animals! I have loved every single day that I have had the opportunity to work with this foundation and can't imagine a better place to work!
Absolutely Amazing! I foster Lucy (Luci) and could not imagine her not being a part of our life so we adopted her. Fur Angels kept in touch and always offered support. When I move back to Hawai'i to retire they will be the first place I will volunteer for.
It's been 3 years since the Fur Angel Foundation brought me Kenji and Jade. They were groomed and up to date on all their medical care. They are part of my 8 dogs in my Kaneohe home. They have a big yard to play in and they sleep with me at night. My daughter and I rescue dogs. We have 13 between us. I love them!! Thank you Fur Angel ❤️
I have been with this organization from day 1 and can honestly say that we work with the best pups and people! The heart of the mission is always at the forefront of everything that they do and the well-being of each and every pup comes first. I am extremely proud and feel privileged to work with such an amazing group of individuals.
