“Embodying the ALOHA SPIRIT through dog rescue by providing unconditional love, compassion, patience, and guidance for man’s best friend”

Mahina’s Ohana Rescue is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit dog rescue based in Oregon. We rescue at-risk dogs from overcrowded shelters throughout the west coast. It is our role as a small but mighty rescue to enrich our rescue dog’s lives so we can find them the best suited and loving forever homes here in beautiful Pacific Northwest! We focus our efforts on saving “overlooked” dogs such as pit bull/bully breed type dogs due having the highest euthanasia rates throughout shelters in the United States. Our goal is to provide the best care, unconditional love, training, and rehabilitation to these beautiful misunderstood underdogs and give them a second chance at a better life!

How You Can Help:

  • Adopt: Open your heart and home to a deserving dog.

  • Foster: Provide a temporary home and support as a dog awaits their forever family.

  • Volunteer: Join our team and contribute your time and skills.

  • Donate: Support our mission with a financial contribution to help cover vet bills, supplies, and more.

Join us in our mission to save more dogs from death row and give them the second chance they deserve. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of these incredible animals.
