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.

Our Story
How You Can Help

Need Support?

We’re starting with free dog walking support through our volunteers, and hope to offer more help over time—like short-term foster care during hospital stays or vet trip assistance.

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