This week we are celebrating National Animal Care and Control Appreciation Week. I want to take this opportunity to recognize our hard-working and dedicated animal control officers and dispatchers. These are our compassionate first responders who work on the front lines to save the lives of animals out in the community. Our team of 16 […]
Last Sunday, over 1,000 animal lovers participated in Pasadena Humane’s 25th annual Wiggle Waggle Walk and Run. It was a beautiful sunshine-filled morning at Brookside Park at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. The most heartwarming part was that we raised over $240,000 to help provide food, shelter, and lifesaving programs and services for the animals […]
If you’ve called on Pasadena Humane for help with animal control issues in the past 20 years, there’s a good chance you’ve met Officer Greg Murphy. As a veteran animal control officer, Murphy (as he’s known amongst our staff) has decades of experience helping animals and their owners throughout the region. “I don’t mind having […]

So many of you enjoyed my column about pee-mail a couple of weeks ago that I find it fitting to write a follow-up about, well, poop. Let’s start with PooPrints, the leading dog poop DNA testing company. A dog’s profile is collected via a cheek swab and registered in the DNA World Pet Registry Database. […]
With spring in the air, we are seeing the start to our busy season at Pasadena Humane. It’s the time when kittens begin to flow into the shelter, along with injured and orphaned baby wild animals. Recently our animal control officers rescued eight baby Virginia opossums from a car engine. Their mom had been fatally […]
You may have heard the term “pee mail,” but I like to think of pee as dogs’ social media, a “dogbook,” if you will. Dogs can “tag” where they have been, “like” another dog’s pee, and learn vast amounts of personal, or I guess “dogal” information about their canine neighbors. With a quick sniff of […]
Last week, our leadership team gathered at the lovely La Casita del Arroyo to discuss strategic plans for furthering our mission over the next three years.
