While August is typically Pasadena’s hottest month, September is not far behind. September highs can top 100 degrees, and we can see days in the 90s well into October. So, if you thought we were almost done with the heat, think again. As much as we humans are looking forward to some relief from one […]
Many years ago, a tiny black kitten named Bruce beat the most extraordinary odds. The 4-week-old ball of fur was heard shrieking in pain under the hood of a car after the engine was started. Pasadena Humane animal control officers were dispatched, and the kitten — who barely weighed a pound — was brought to […]
OK, since everyone else seems to be writing about her, it’s time for me to jump on the Barbie bandwagon. First, I have to tell you I still have my childhood Barbie and Ken that came to me as hand-me-downs from my older sister, Susan. Apparently, Susan had the first ever Barbie…the long haired blonde […]
We adopted our dog Sueshi in March of 2016, just before she lost her baby teeth. So, we know she was just shy of 12 weeks. Although we don’t know her exact birthday, we celebrate in December. For older adopted dogs — unless there is a previous owner to provide information — determining the age […]
Hoarding cases are some of the most challenging situations we encounter at Pasadena Humane. Imagine entering a home with an overpowering smell of ammonia and seeing urine, feces and moldy pet food cans covering the floor. Then, imagine discovering dozens of suffering animals, with an owner who has no insight into the danger of the […]
Last month, we held our first Free Adoption Day of the summer. To say it was a huge success would be an understatement. In one day, 124 animals were adopted! I watched in amazement as 92 felines, 28 pups, and four critters, departed the shelter for their new homes. It was cause for celebration for […]
One of the first things I learned when I moved to Pasadena from Virginia is that I cannot leave my little dog Sueshi outside without me because — of course — we share our neighborhood with coyotes. Sueshi and I run into coyotes almost every day on our walks. As you might imagine, I’m an […]
This Forth of July, Pasadena Humane is joining the LA Lost Pet Coalition, a group of 21 local shelters that have teamed up with Petco Love Lost and are working together to get lost pets back home. The new coalition is committed to education that will prevent lost pets from entering shelters, as well as […]
I’ve written before about our dear departed cat, Tubby. As I mentioned, Tubby was “special.” We adopted Tubby when he was a senior. We were his fourth home, probably because he didn’t seem to like people or animals. But, one thing Tubby did like was headbutting. At the time, I didn’t realize the significance […]
Right now, Pasadena Humane has more than 150 pets ready to move into loving homes. I encourage you to stop by our Free Adoption Day today. We are waiving the adoption fees for all available animals, including dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, rabbits and pocket pets. We often hear common misconceptions about adopting pets from shelters. […]
