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.

A269931 – Yumi is a five-year-old female tan boxer. She has been out on our Mobile Unit and has been gentle and sweet with everyone she has met. She enjoys going for walks and seems to get along well with other dogs. She is affectionate and intelligent and would do well in an household that can provide her lots of exercise and activities.

A378889 – Berkeley is a two-year-old male gray tabby Domestic Shorthaired cat. He is friendly and enjoys attention. Berkeley is best described as a very laid back, confident and social fellow.

A376938 – Luke is a curious and affectionate white male shorthaired rabbit. He is only a few months old and enjoys gentle nose and ears rubs. He also appears to be litterbox trained. Luke’s adoption fee has been reduced to $15 for our Hop Into Summer adoption event.

For the Extra Love Category

A373395 – Agnes is a mellow eight-year-old female brown pit bull mix. She has been out on our Mobile Unit numerous times and has always been very friendly with everyone she has met. While Agnes is a senior and has slowed down a little bit, she still enjoys going for short walks. She also enjoys attention, especially belly rubs! Agnes has been spayed which means she would be able to go to her new forever home today.

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.
