The Rescue Network (also operating as Rescue Oahu) is a registered non-profit organization based in Waialua, Hawaii, dedicated to supporting both owned and free-roaming animals across the island of Oahu. Operating on the core principle that animal welfare is a true community effort, the organization serves as a critical bridge linking local residents, neighborhood rescues, and essential supplies. By establishing an open network of resources, they empower individuals to step up and care for vulnerable animals without requiring extensive previous rescue experience.

Instead of operating a traditional brick-and-mortar shelter facility, The Rescue Network maximizes its impact by mobilizing localized grassroots action and providing emergency logistical support, especially during community crises and severe weather events. Through focused public advocacy, resource coordination, and community-led foster initiatives, the organization works to build a sustainable, self-sufficient framework for animal care on the island. Supported entirely by public donations and a passionate volunteer base, they work tirelessly to ensure that every community cat and displaced pet on Oahu has a direct pathway to safety and reliable care.

Animals over profits: Unlike typical corporate chains, we are completely against selling animals — always, now, and forever.

You choose where 25% of the earnings goes: We believe in full transparency — we calculate this 25% before paying for any executive salaries or business overhead. By skipping the fancy corporate costs, we ensure the money actually lands where it belongs: with the animals.
