Hilo	Y / M		Chris Glover, New York	COC - with PRs	Works with PR at the GYM where she works -- as a motivation personal trainer.  And was raised with a full dog family.
Hanai	B / F		Jim ans Susan Alais, Washington State	COC - with PRs	She was released as a puppy for having a defective (from birth) kidney.  She now takes good care of her PRs, having successfully taken care of them after each of their surgeries -- since they did such a good job doing the same for her.
Hoana	B / F		Abeliene, Texas	COC - with PRs	Released for high energy, which she now uses working with children at her mom's school.
Hilani	Y / F		Amy and Jim Witherel, Plano Texas	BREEDER DOG (retired) Sacramento, CA	Hilani had her first litter of 14 all black puppies in November 2003.  Just prior to her second breeding she was found to have inoperable cancer, and left us too soon.
Hoku	B / M		Jim Mohs, Smyrna, Georgia	SKILLED COMPANION Florida	For a young man named Andy with cerebral palsy.  Andy's family says "He is still the same sweet and lovable dog. He has really brought joy to our family and especially Andy. Hoku has to go everywhere with him-whether it is to the kitchen table or the bathroom or to wash up for bed. We are doing well".
Hoaka	Y / F		Dave Tirapelle, Sacramento, California	SERVICE DOG in Northern California	Replacement Service Dog whose story was told in a back issue of the Courier.
Maila	B / F		Yosemite, California	COC: with PR	Happier and healthier than she ever was in the kennels, where she suffered kennel stress and never seemed to adjust.
Makia	Y / F		Val Valentine, Carlsbad, California	BREEDER	After being raised by the SouthWest Region's Puppy Coordinator, Makia was chosen to be a breeder, and placed with Cath Phillips -- one of the most amazing volunteers for CCI ever!
Mara	Y / F		North Carolina	COC: with PR	Mara was released for enjoying other dogs too much!  Must be just like her mom.  She is now, happy at home loving and making her people and the dogs in her life happy.
Mahi	B / M		Colorado Springs, Colorado	SKILLED COMPANION
Malana	Y / F		Satellite Beach, Florida	HEARING DOG
Moku	B / M		New Hampshire	Advanced Training NE
Mary	B / F		Virginia	COC: private placement with disabled boy. Long Island, NY	Mary was not happy in the kennels, and like many dogs in that situation could not perform to her full potential.  Her PR really wanted to find a placement for Mary where she could "help" someone instead of being just a pet, and she sent out the word to everyone she knew to keep our eyes open. Her neighbor, Joanne, in Richmond, VA, mentioned Mary to her mother back home in Long Island, NY. That day, her mom was grocery shopping on Long Island and saw a boy in a wheelchair there with his mother. It took Joanne's mom about an hour to work up the courage to approach them - she kind of stalked them in the grocery store while she worked on her opening line! The boy's mother's reaction was to burst into tears - she said they had just been talking the night before about how much Louis needs a dog and EVEN wondered how they might get a CCI released dog! So Mary is now Louis' faithful friend and his mom said it's really made him come out of his shell.
