Riding in the car with the windows down? Yes, please, says almost every dog, everywhere. For many dogs, there is almost nothing better in the world than riding in a car with their humans. Whether a short drive around town or a longer road trip, it seems that most of our canine companions can’t wait […]
With kitten season in full swing, shelters across Southern California are full of adorable and adoptable cats and kittens looking for new homes. During our adoption counseling sessions, we are often asked if cats should live strictly indoors. For the health and safety of cats, as well as wildlife, we recommend that cats be kept […]
The road trip has long been an American tradition. Some of the best times of my childhood were when we loaded up the car to make the three-hour trip from Albany, GA to the Florida Panhandle. Of course, our dogs Moses and Missy were just as excited as I was in anticipation of splashing in […]
Have you ever wondered why your Spot’s ears perk up when it’s perfectly quiet? Or why Fido barks a minute before the delivery person appears with a package at your front door? Well, it’s quite simple. In addition to some dogs being able to smell people or objects as far as 12-miles away, dogs have […]
When Pat first met her handsome tuxedo kitten, Ziggy, at one of our fee-waived adoption events, it was “meow at first sight.” Ziggy, now a one-year-old cat, is best buddies with Pat’s Havanese, Penelope, also a Pasadena Humane alum. “Both are my precious babies,” Pat shared.

For starters, we only go for walks in the early morning or evening. Daytime walks and hikes […]
Have I mentioned that my dog Sueshi is almost perfect in every way? For example, she will happily snuggle with me on the couch to watch the rare thunderstorm. And, she loves fireworks. I know what you’re thinking…she’s amazing, right? If you or someone you know has a pet who trembles in fear at […]
Arguably, one of the biggest challenges for pet parents who do not work remotely is leaving their pets at home to go to work. Staring into those sad, puppy dog eyes while heading out the door is enough to leave some pet parents with lingering guilt that lasts the entire workday. “Take Your Dog to […]
A few months ago, I wrote about the impending arrival of kitten season. We had started to see the first trickle of bottle babies flowing into the shelter. Kittens like Parsley, Mint and Sage — all three now adopted — who were just days old when they came to Pasadena Humane, needing bottle feeding and round-the-clock care […]
What’s in a name? Deciding what to call your pet can be an exciting opportunity or a daunting task, depending on how you look at it. How do you pick a name that both encapsulates their personality and brings you joy? There are as many pet naming philosophies as there are pet owners. Some pets […]
