Shelter staff had shared the lovely deaf dog's story on their website. In late September, Diane spotted Aulani's profile online and fell head over heels in love with her.
A long journey ahead
Diane lives on the US mainland, but she didn't let the distance put her off. Before booking her flight to Maui, she asked two friends who lived on the island to visit the dog.
Thanks to them, she was able to meet Aulani several times over FaceTime. In the end, Diane made up her mind to adopt her. She booked a flight and made the long trip to collect her new pet.
A day like no other
On the big day, a shelter worker came to collect Aulani from her kennel. At first, the sweet girl thought she was just going out for a normal run in the yard.
However, she quickly sensed that something different was happening. She had a real gut feeling. As soon as Diane walked into the shelter yard, Aulani dashed straight towards her. She was absolutely thrilled to see her, and the feeling was mutual!
Aulani isn't the first deaf dog Diane has adopted from the Maui Humane Society. She had previously taken in a senior dog from the shelter, who was also deaf, giving him a loving home for his final years. This beautiful adoption has truly warmed our hearts, and we wish Aulani a wonderful life with her new family!
