Keeping Kūpuna and Their Pets Together

Kupuna Paws helps kūpuna, or elders, facing physical and financial hardships avoid the heartbreak of giving up their beloved pets. Our volunteer-powered care ensures that kupuna and their pets stay healthy, happy, and together— preserving meaningful bonds and improving quality of life for both, especially during life’s most challenging times.

Need Support?

We provide free dog walking and other pet care support services to help older adults keep their beloved pets at home. Services may include help with feeding, litter box cleaning, transportation to veterinary or grooming appointments, and, on a case-by-case basis, short-term foster care during medical events.

If you or someone you know could use support, or have other ideas for how we can help, please reach out.
