Donations: At this time, we are able to accept donations of new or unopened items only.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept in-kind donations at our other points of entry at this time. If you are a company with a large donation to make and need to arrange drop off details, please email development@pasadenahumane.org. Items can also be donated through our Amazon wish list.

In-Person Events: Temporarily postponed. Please join us for our upcoming webinars.
