Who We Are
At Aloha Ilio, we strive to ensure every dog is matched up with an owner that is serious about the commitment adopting a dog entails, while at the same time ensuring that both parties are happy to become a family together. Above even our desire to rescue dogs is ensuring that those already under our care have the best quality of life possible. We strive to keep our facilities impeccably clean, our dogs have the opportunity to exercise, and our dogs receive the medical care and one-on-one attention they deserve.

Daylynn Kyles
President and Founder
With a long history of ties to the Big Island and a love of dogs parallel to none, Daylynn Kyles founded Aloha Ilio Rescue and has been working to continue its growth ever since.
“I want to do something that makes a difference to our island community and it's animals. My motivation is to stop the overpopulation and euthanasia of unwanted dogs. I want to bring awareness and education to our community, and change the problems that have existed for far too long."
The Team
Tiffany Perreira
Kennel Manager
Tiffany has worked with dogs for over a decade. She understands what it takes to ensure a dogs health stays optimal. One of her most valuable attributes is the ability to read a dogs body language and behavior; it takes very little time for Tiffany to understand what a dog wants or needs, and she’s an expert at navigating an interaction.
Kennel Technician
Newest member of the team, Brendan comes to us with lots of experience. Like Tiffany, he understands the dogs wants and needs. He comes with lots of experience from different agencies and clinics. He has a very calm demeanor with the dogs. We enjoying having him here.

Medical Worker by day and dog-helper by night (or weekends), Bonnie Leslie strives to ensure our dogs maintain their health and happiness for as long as they stay with us. A long term foster for multiple dogs and litters, and a pack-mom of her own, she knows what it takes to keep dogs healthy and on the road to their forever-homes.
Kennel Technician
Myra comes to us with a wealth of knowledge and love for animals that is unsurpassed. The dogs here love her and her gentle demeanor and calm spirit brings forth quick recoveries for the dogs needing rehabilitation. We are so grateful to be working with this amazing human.
Kennel Technician
Charlie joined us and itʻs been laughs ever since. He brings so much joy to the facility and the dogs feel it. They love his gentle nature and they love going for walks with him.
