Aloha! 
In Hawaii, pets are part of our ohana. It is our kuleana (responsibility) to nurture them and give them a good life. That’s why it’s so emotionally challenging when we learn that our pet has a serious illness or is injured, and the cost of treatment will put a strain on our already stretched budgets.

The FACE Foundation has been helping pets and their humans in San Diego for more than 17 years. We are so happy that our lifesaving programs are now available to pet families on O’ahu.

Filling a Need in Hawaii
In 2019, Honolulu veterinarian Dr. Erika Sox became aware of FACE Foundation and the support we provide to families in need. Recognizing the need for this service in Hawaii but uncertain how to recreate FACE’s success on her own, she approached FACE and offered to start a pilot program at her practice, Ethos Veterinary Emergency + Referral Center (VERC).

A Growing Program
After operating a successful 5-year pilot program in partnership with VERC, FACE Hawaii is now official and growing. Other veterinary clinics have begun to work with FACE to save beloved pets in need of lifesaving care on Oahu, and our goal is to eventually expand our network of participating veterinarians throughout all of the islands.

Join Us in Supporting Hawaii Pet Owners
In the spirit of laulima (cooperation), please join us in support of our mission. Your donation will remain in the islands to help to ensure that no Hawaii pet dies solely due to financial hardship.

Mahalo nui loa!
