My husband, Pierce, and I have finally faced the fact that we are empty nesters. Our son is 23 and is recently engaged to be married. He has lined up a great paid internship in New York City this summer, which will hopefully lead to a job when he graduates from college next spring. After […]
We welcome the arrival of spring this coming Tuesday. And with it, we are preparing for the start of another season — kitten season. By now, many of my regular readers know all about kitten season.

It’s hard to believe that I’m coming up on my fifth anniversary as president and CEO of Pasadena Humane. The world was a different place when I joined this beloved institution in 2019. While our shelter has undergone many changes over the last five years, one thing has remained constant — our commitment to serving […]
Joe Jennings has been a licensing canvasser at Pasadena Humane for almost two years. He has walked hundreds of miles and knocked on countless doors. He prides himself on being a friendly face in the community. Licensing your dog is a requirement everywhere you live in California, including the nine cities Pasadena Humane contracts with […]
One of the most rewarding things about Pasadena Humane’s participation in the Rose Parade is that we developed so many new relationships that have resulted in increased adoptions.
