Stearns the Terrier Mix

/by

Stearns is a terrier mix of unknown origin. He was at shelters for weeks. He has a horrible underbite. When I play tug of war with him, he tries so hard. He’s a persistent little guy. Stearns doesn’t bark; he cries. When I give him a treat he walks around the house crying until he […]

Remy, Formerly Maggie

/by

When we first saw “Maggie” at PHS she looked very intimidating. She was very nonchalant when we approached her. We noticed she was being overseen by those looking to adopt. Even with her “tough guy” attitude we just know we had to bring her home, she was perfect. The moment we left PHS a new […]

Penny Lane

We adopted our little Penny Lane from Pasadena Humane Society in 2011. It was estimated that she was one year old at the time. It’s now June 2020, so we think she’s close to 10 years old now. She is just the best little dog! She is so wonderful with children, she’s happy, obedient, and […]

Introducing Pasadena Humane

/by

New Look Over the last couple of months, we’ve simplified and updated our look with new typography and graphics, and even refreshed our logo. Now, we’re excited to announce that we’ve also shortened our name, and will now be known simply as Pasadena Humane! Why the Change? Our old name would sometimes create confusion, not […]

Safer-at-Home with your Pets this Summer

/by

By Jacqui Dziak Memorial Day officially kicks off the summer season. While summers are usually filled with outdoor concerts, long days at the beach, and summer vacations, this summer will likely find us staying closer to home.
