is a Hawaii nonprofit organization established in 2004. President, Elizabeth Paek, Vice-President and Secretary, Liann Y. Ebesugawa, and Vice-President and Treasurer, Sheree N. Stewart, met while attending the University of Hawaii William S. Richardson School of Law. Together they worked as writers and board members of the UH Law Review. Published authors Sheree (former Editor-in-Chief) and Liann (former Executive and Managing Editor) assisted in editing Elizabeth’s (former Casenotes Editor) animal law article, Fido Seeks Full Membership in the Family: Dismantling the Property Classification of Companion Animals, published in the Summer of 2003 (see also Animal Legal and Historical Center's website). During law school, Elizabeth, Liann and Sheree would often exchange information about the health, diet, and behavior of their dogs. They soon recognized that they each possessed a wealth of information and that sharing their knowledge helped to improve the quality of life for their dogs. This recognition inspired Elizabeth, Sheree, and Liann to create a local public forum for other animal guardians to share their knowledge as a resource for others.

Today, Elizabeth, Liann, and Sheree are attorneys in Hawaii. However, their friendship is based on more than just a shared interest in the law. Their motivation to create stems from their dedicated love and compassion for dogs, and a desire to promote the welfare of all dogs in Hawaii.
Elizabeth, Liann and Sheree thank you for visiting and hope that you will continue to support by visiting and contributing to this site!
