“Shelter killing is the leading cause of death for healthy dogs and cats in the United States. It doesn’t have to be.”

“Shelter killing is the leading cause of death for healthy dogs and cats in the United States. It doesn’t have to be.”

That’s the premise of the award-winning film “Redemption” by Nathan Winograd, which will be shown at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 10 at Tutu’s House, 64-1032 Mamalahoa Highway, No. 305, in Waimea. Admission is free.

“Redemption” is hosted by Big Island Dog Rescue and E Ola Na Ilio O Moku O Keawe (long live the dogs of the Big Island), an educational community-based organization whose mission is to bring the kill rate of adoptable and treatable animals at the Hawaii Island Humane Society to zero.
