Los Angeles

California

Every year, thousands of precious animals are left without homes or families to call their own. At Pasadena Humane, we strive to give as many of these animals as possible a second chance at life with a loving family in Los Angeles, CA. In 2022, we successfully placed 100 percent of all healthy and safe animals we received. Our efforts also extend beyond adoption services. We offer a wide range of services to Los Angeles, CA, residents, including fostering opportunities, pet training courses, kids’ programs, and more. There are many ways to get involved with our mission, whether it’s through volunteering your time, donating, adopting an animal, or simply spreading the word. Every little bit helps in making a positive impact in the lives of local Los Angeles, CA, animals in need.

Please note that Pasadena Humane does not currently provide animal care and control services for the city of Los Angeles, CA. If you need help with a lost, found, or owned pet, please reach out to the shelter that covers your area. You can use this shelter finder tool to locate the right one.

Make Their Day or Save Their Life with Foster Care

At Pasadena Humane, we recognize that adopting a new furry friend is a big decision that requires a significant commitment. However, even if you’re not ready for the years-long commitment of a permanent pet, you can still make a positive difference in an animal’s life through our flexible foster program for Los Angeles, CA, residents. As a foster parent, you have the opportunity to play a critical role in the rehabilitation and socialization of animals who may have a difficult start in life. By providing them with a safe and nurturing environment, you’re giving these animals a second chance to experience love and care. We strive to make the fostering experience as seamless and rewarding as possible for our Los Angeles, CA, volunteers. That’s why we provide all the necessary supplies, leaving you with the simple but essential task of providing them with attention, love, and care. When you register as a Pasadena Humane foster volunteer, you are joining a community of compassionate and dedicated individuals who are making a positive impact on the lives of countless Los Angeles, CA, animals every day. Sign up today to join us in our mission and create a more compassionate world for animals.
