Pets of the Week

This week, we introduce you to four pets up for adoption now at the Pasadena Humane Society. See a friendly face you want to bring home? Call (626) 792-7151 with the ID number.

 

Princess (A383345) is a three-year-old, female, brown Chihuahua. She can be a little shy at first, but when she warms up to you, she enjoys attention and affection. Princess loves going for walks! Princess would do well in a single dog home where she can get plenty of exercise. Her adoption fee is $125 which includes the spay surgery, microchip, and vaccinations.

 

 

 

Shelly (A379447) is a beautiful and sweet one-year-old tortoiseshell cat that has spent the last six weeks nursing and caring for her five little kittens in a foster home. Now it’s her turn to be cared for in her own forever home. Her foster mom says Shelly is a great cat who is sweet, loving and docile! However, she has shown some food guarding around her kittens, so she may prefer to be in a single cat household. Shelly is spayed, microchipped, and ready to go home with you today!

 

 

 

Fluffy (A383409) is a male tan shorthaired rabbit. Fluffy is sweet and curious and lives up to his name! He’s a gentle and calm fellow. His adoption fee is currently reduced to $15 for our “Hop Into Summer” adoption event.

Juliet (A382547) is a 10-year-old spayed female white and black Akita. She loves treats and enjoys going for slow walks. Juliet had a mass removed from her chest, but has since recovered nicely. She’s a senior who would do well in a home where she can relax and live out her golden years in comfort. Because of her age, Juliet qualifies for our Seniors for Seniors program which waives the adoption fee for adopters age 60 and up. The mandatory microchip fee of $20 still applies.

Our friends in Pasadena Humane Society have some tips in animal adoption:

Adopting an animal may be more involved than you realize, they warn. Keep in mind that everything they do is aimed at getting the best permanent home possible for the animals and that everyone who comes to the Pasadena Humane Society to adopt an animal goes through the same process.

You must apply in person, be at least 18 years old and have a current photo ID.

The process takes a minimum of 30-45 minutes. Here is what will happen:

You can take a walk through the animal areas and write down the ID number or “A” number on the kennel card of any animal that interests you. Bring this list to the adoption office.

Then complete the application for adoption. (You do this before visiting with any of the animals in order to minimize stress for the animals.)

Next, a member of the adoptions staff will meet with you and ask questions about your experience, and discuss the information we have about your potential pet. You can ask questions, too, about spay/neuter, training classes, or anything else you can think of.

You may be asked to obtain your landlord’s approval for the adoption. This policy helps us reduce the number of animals that are returned to us.

After you have spoken with an adoptions staff member, you will visit with your potential pet. Eventually, we ask that all members of your family meet the animal, too. If you are adopting a dog and have another dog, we want them to get along well, so we arrange a time for you to bring in your pet for a visit.

When your new pet is ready to go home with you, you will be asked to sign an adoption contract and pay an adoption fee. The fee helps to cover the cost of surgery, vaccines and daily care that your pet received.
