Our full-time Courthouse Dogs help children who are victims of crime through the difficult legal process and include Clover at the Honolulu Prosecutor s Office and Faith at the Hawaii Prosecutor s Office. Our Community Outreach Programs benefit hundreds of people with special needs in Hawaii each week.

Assistance Dogs of Hawaii is also a leader in Medical Scent Detection Research. We have completed groundbreaking research studies with Kapi olani Medical Center, Clinical Labs of Hawaii, and the Rehab Hospital of the Pacific, where dogs were trained to detect early stages of life-threatening infections. Our research has received international recognition and was presented at The Inaugural Conference on Medical Bio-Detection at Cambridge University. Our research results were also published in the Oxford Journals and mentioned in the New England Journal of Medicine. We invite you to partner with us this year as an Event Sponsor. Sponsorship opportunities are available at several levels detailed in the attached document.

We are committed to serving people in Hawaii with special needs through our many Community Outreach Programs, and developing the potential dogs have to assist people in need. Assistance Dogs and lifetime follow-up support are provided free of charge. ~ OUR PUPPIES ~ During their one to two years of training, the dogs learn over 90 commands. When they have completed training, they are carefully matched with an applicant. Once a match is made, they attend an intensive Team Training Camp. Graduation is a time of celebration for the graduate teams, puppy raisers, trainers, and supporters. The teams become a part of the ADH ohana and receive life-time follow-up training and assistance.
