The Hawaiian Humane Society is being given a 5-acre site for a second campus at the 11,750-home Hoopili development in West Oahu.

The nonprofit and Hoopili developer D.R. Horton-Schuler Homes made the announcement Tuesday at a press conference at the humane society’s 2.5-acre Moiliili site.

The parcel is located on undeveloped land near Fort Weaver and Old Fort Weaver Road about half a mile from the Queen’s Medical Center West Oahu campus.

Besides animal services such as sheltering for homeless and lost animals, spay and neutering, adoptions, lost and found, dog training classes and youth education, the Hawaiian Humane Society will run a dog park on about half of the property that will be open to the public, said Pamela Burns, president and CEO of the Hawaiian Humane Society.

Burns said her organization has long sought a West Oahu location and hopes to have the campus operating in two years.

About half of the 27,000 animals that now enter the shelter will instead go to the new campus, she said.

A recent survey showed that while just over half of Oahu homes have a pet, about 74 percent of West Oahu homes own pets, humane society officials said.

The humane society is near the end of an $18 million capital improvements campaign, and about half of that is expected to go toward development of the West Oahu site.

Horton-Schuler is pursuing a rezoning 1,554 acres between Ewa and Kapolei for Hoopili, the largest development project to go before the Honolulu City Council in at least two decades.

Cameron Nekota, Horton-Schuler vice president, said the land donation will proceed regardless of the fate of its rezoning request.

While supporters say the project will bring needed homes and jobs to the growing region, opponents argue that it is displacing prime agricultural land and will add more cars to an already congested traffic situation.
