As people around the world celebrate ancient miracles this season, at Pasadena Humane we are celebrating the anniversary of one of our own modern-day miracles. Most modern miracles are centered on survival, such as a woman in Florida who revived after 45-minutes without a pulse in 2014, as her loved ones were saying their last […]
With the holiday season in full swing, time is running out to bring a new pet home before the end of the year. At Pasadena Humane, we have dozens of wonderful dogs, cats and critters who want nothing more than to know the comfort and joy of a loving family. One such dog, Mr. Wiggles, […]
In last week’s column, I put out a plea for foster families to provide a “Home for the Holidays,” especially for the many large dogs in our care. I am pleased and thankful to report that a dozen families responded and are providing the comfort and joy of a loving home this holiday season. In […]
Most of us dream of a holiday season full of comfort and joy. But the sad reality is that hundreds of pets in our community will remain homeless throughout the holidays. At Pasadena Humane, we believe in miracles. Our wish this year is for every single animal in our care to spend the holidays in […]
Sadly, you may have heard that Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, known as HPAI, has landed in Southern California. This extremely contagious flu with a high mortality rate has killed nearly 23 million birds in the United States since first being identified on the East Coast in January 2022.

My aunt Polly lived to be 92. Her constant companions to the end were her beloved cats, Junior and DuVie. Polly was amused by her felines’ antics when they played, and she was comforted by their purring in her lap during quieter times. Studies indicate that over 50% of older adults are pet owners. Pets […]

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 […]
