Hui 'Ilio Hawai'i (the Hawaii Dog Group) was founded to promote safe and friendly places for dogs and their people to play, and to promote responsible dog ownership. Our initial reason for organizing was to establish the Hawaii Kai Dog Park. Now that the park is a reality, we continue to support the park as the adoptive "park partners," by recruiting and training volunteer park rangers, and by sponsoring clean-up days and additional park improvements. Our ongoing goals are to help other dog groups get approval for parks in their respective districts, enhance the opportunities for dogs to get proper exercise and socialization, and to promote the licensing, vaccination, and good-behavior training of dogs.

Thank you for coming to the 5th Annual Hawaii Kai Dog Walk on June 7, 2009!  The event was another great day for dogs and their people, thanks to your participation and our many generous sponsors!  If you had your photo taken at our photo booth, click on this link to get your photo!  You will be able to view the images and download professionally edited photos, ready to print or to send to any photo processor. The gallery will remain posted until July 31, 2009. Thanks to our professional photographer, Monica Schwartz, for taking the photos and posting them!  Oh, and there's another photo gallery right here on this site - simply click on the Photo Gallery link in the left panel.  Our Hui 'Ilio gallery has many dog walk photos taken by our roaming event photographers.  Even if you didn't have your picture taken at the photo booth, you may very well find a great photo of your dog right here!

The page is still under development, so please send us your questions to help us provide further information that will assist park users.

CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS! We are always looking for "Park Rangers" to work in the dog park.   We also have other volunteer opportunities such as weeding, planting and maintenance work days. Please contact us if you are interested in any of our volunteer opportunities.
