Boo! Halloween is just around the corner. As a child, this was one of my favorite holidays. My best human friend, Allatia, and I would scour our households and create wonderful costumes. Given our mothers’ wide collections of rhinestone jewelry, hats and wigs, plus our older sisters’ leftover prom dresses and 1960s attire — and […]
A couple of weeks ago, I came home to find the front door standing wide open. Neither my husband nor I have accepted responsibility for failing to properly latch the door, but that is beside the point. I panicked and immediately thought of Sueshi, our little dog, who would like nothing better than an adventure […]
I must admit, I find nothing quite so adorable as a litter of kittens. When they snuggle all together in one fur clump, it is the sweetest thing. And when they get a little older and start to play, I get exhausted just watching and laughing at their crazy antics. It’s still kitten season here […]
When I am stressed, it affects me not only mentally but physically. I can’t sleep, my shoulders ache and my stomach ties into knots. What I didn’t know until recently is, apparently, when I’m stressed, I stink too. Maybe not to you or me, but definitely to my dog Sueshi. A few weeks ago, a […]
With fall officially here, we can look back on an action-packed summer at Pasadena Humane. Typically our busiest time of year, we were able to find homes for hundreds of animals through monthly free adoption days, in addition to our regular adoption appointments every day of the week. While you might think we were able […]
A few weeks ago, several mixed breed puppies were abandoned under a 210 Freeway underpass in Altadena. The 3-month-old dogs were in horrible shape. They were infested with fleas, suffering from intestinal parasites and covered in cuts and abrasions. All were underweight and one of the puppies was emaciated and anemic. Thankfully, the puppies were found […]
When I describe Pasadena to my family and friends back East, first I say it’s full of natural and human-made beauty. I love the mountains, the arroyo, the flora and fauna and the many architectural styles spanning Pasadena’s rich history. And then, with heartfelt appreciation, I say it is an incredibly philanthropic and animal-loving community. […]
Last week my column ran online and in print with photos of a dog named Sally. The caption read that she had been in our care since 2018. I’m happy to report that this was a misprint. Sally’s photos and associated caption originally appeared in a column in 2019, the same year that she was adopted. […]
I often hear from people who would love the chance to bring home a new pet for a few days before officially deciding to adopt. They want to have the opportunity to see how the pet fits into their household and they hope to form a special bond. Many shelters, including Pasadena Humane, offer a […]
This month, animal shelters across the country are offering promotions to find loving homes for pets as part of the annual ”Clear The Shelters” pet adoption and donation campaign. The promotion was inspired by a 2014 adoption event in north Texas hosted by NBC and Telemundo affiliates, along with dozens of area shelters, that resulted […]
