As of August 1 the Hawaii Island Humane Society no longer provides animal control services. I don't know the back story but apparently they were not interested in renewing their county contract. Instead, they are referring people to the new organization that is providing animal control services, however they do not have any footprint on the East side.

Apparently the "Rainbow Rangers" who now have the contract does not have any formal web site for services but they do have a Facebook page where it describes the bizarre patchwork of interim animal control protection now available. https://www.facebook.com/HawaiiRainbowRangers
If you have no FB you can see the interim animal control protection procedures at the following link. In a nutshell, for serious animal problems call the police department. I'm sure their response will be robust and effective.
