The Ultimutt Trip to Maui
How to find the pawsitively perfect beach buddy.
By Larissa Wohl
Think a vacation to Maur, Hawaii is only for families or couples? Think again...because now visitors can frolic on the beach with a rescue dog instead. It’s all in the name of adoption and I was extremely excited to check it out first-hand.
Like many animal shelters and rescue organizations around the country, Maui Humane Society has implemented an innovative program allowing tourists and residents the chance to temporarily foster a dog for a day of adventure.
Every organization has a different name for this type of excursion, but at Maui Humane Society it is referred to as their Beach Buddies program. Not only is it great for the dogs, but it’s great for the humans as well. It gives the shelter pups some much needed time to stretch their paws, sniff the ocean air and possibly catch the eye of potential adopter, but it is also an opportunity for a single traveler to gain a friend or travel companion. I was traveling with my family on this trip but felt surrounded by couples and newlyweds and was excited for some puppy love!
