Adoption Promotions

Walkin’ on Sunshine

Birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, and our shelter dogs are walkin’ on sunshine (and don’t it feel good?)! From April 28 through May 3, adoption fees are waived for all adoptable dogs at Pasadena Humane! Come on down and find a canine companion to be your very own ray of sunshine—cloudy skies not included!

Adoptions include spay or neuter, age-appropriate vaccines, and a microchip. Licensing fee may apply.

May the 4th

Put on your best Jedi robes, hop into your landspeeder, and join us in a galaxy far, far away (Pasadena Humane) on May the 4th to adopt an adult pet (six months or older) for just $4! Although we won’t have any banthas, Loth-cats, or porgs available for adoption, we will have dogs, cats, and critters who are ready to go to your home planet with you.

Much like the podracing scene in The Phantom Menace, our adoption hours are extended on May the 4th! Come to Pasadena Humane from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. to find your new best friend.

We are excited to announce that Obi-Wan Kenobi star Vivien Lyra Blair and members of the 501st Legion will be in attendance to meet adopters from 3-5 p.m.!

Seniors for Seniors

Our Seniors for Seniors program enables people age 60 and up to adopt pets age 5 and up free of charge, thanks to the generous support of the Pets for the Elderly Foundation.

Of course, most pets at age 5 (like most humans at age 60!) are hardly over the hill; on the contrary, they’re just hitting their stride, and the Seniors for Seniors program—besides offering financial assistance to our more experienced adopters—gives an extra boost to the terrific middle-aged cats and dogs, who are sometimes overlooked by shelter visitors.

Pets for Veterans

We offer fee-waived adoptions and vaccines for all active duty and retired military personnel. Adopters must show military ID at time of adoption to qualify. Pets for Veterans benefit is not transferrable to other parties. Adopter with military ID must be the person finalizing adoption paperwork and signing adoption agreement. Some restrictions may apply.

Tours

Pasadena Humane is more than a shelter; we are a resource for all animals in the community. Join us for a guided tour to learn more about how we help animals in need. During this hour-long tour, you’ll hear about our history, programs, and services while viewing adorable dogs, cats and critters looking for new homes. The tour will start at the Animal Resource Center. We’ll then travel through the Neely Cat Center and dog kennels learning more about the animals in our care. The tour will end at the Shelter Shop.

Tours are appropriate for all ages and limited to 15 guests.

Tours will be held on the first and third Saturdays of each month. Please sign up here.

Presentations

At Pasadena Humane, we’re more than just a shelter—we’re your go-to animal resource center, offering a wide range of programs and services for both animals and people in the community. Want to learn more about how we help companion animals or peaceful co-existence with wildlife? Invite us for a presentation!

We offer complimentary presentations for community groups, civic organizations, and service clubs throughout our animal care and control service area, including Altadena, Arcadia, Glendale, Pasadena, and more.

Choose from two options: a general presentation or one focused on local wildlife. Each session is packed with information and lasts between 30 to 45 minutes.

While we can’t present in residential homes, we’re happy to come to your community center, meeting space, or other local facilities. Ready to learn more about animal welfare with us? Click here to request your presentation today!
