Hawaiian Animal Shelter Lets Tourists Adopt Dogs For A Day, Their Adorable Adventures Will Make You Smile.

There’s nothing like a tropical getaway… the sandy beaches, beautiful skies, and incredible food. It is so beautiful you can forget about reality for days at a time. But for some tropical island natives, time is more precious.

The Kauai Humane Society has just started a program to make a beautiful Hawaiian vacation even more awesome – now you can adopt a shelter dog for the day. The non-profit allows vacationers to take shelter pups on grand adventures and the only ask in return is that they document all the fun they have. The photos are then posted to help these pups find a forever home. The best news? It seems to be working.

1. You can spend the day playing in the water.
