Animals Rescued After Maui Fire Suffered Paws Burned to the Bone, Estimated 3,000 Pets Still Missing

Destroyed homes and businesses in the aftermath of the Maui wildfires in Lahaina, Hawaii on August 16, 2023. The number of people known to have died in the horrific wildfire that levelled a Hawaiian town reached 106 on August 15, authorities said, as a makeshift morgue was expanded to deal with the tragedy.

Recovery efforts to reunite loved ones and assess the damage caused by the catastrophic Maui wildfires have also led to the rescue of numerous pets with serious injuries, while an estimated 3,000 animals are still missing.

The New York Post reported Maui Humane Society worker Katie Shannon stated, “We have seen animals come through our shelter that have severe, severe burns.”

“We have seen dogs that have essentially had their paws all the way burnt down to the bone from running from the fire,” she said, adding, debris has been pulled from their paws and some of the surviving animals need bandages from paw to hip. 

Shannon also noted various types of animals are being treated. “We even have a pig here,” she said. Love birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, and chickens are also among the dogs and cats needing veterinary assistance. 

Images of the animals have been displayed, including a chicken with its claws wrapped due to burns. 

Currently, rescued pets are being scanned for microchips to seek owners, and Shannon noted, “This is only the beginning.” 

While found animals are receiving care she stated, “There is a harsh reality to come.” 

An estimated 3,000 pets are still missing, as are around 1,000 people, per the IJR. According to the same New York Post report, 106 humans have been confirmed victims of the wildfires as of Tuesday, but cadaver dogs have only searched around one-third of the affected area. 

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Deputy Assistant Secretary Jonathan Green said that identifying all the remains will be “a very, very difficult mission” and asked for “patience.”
