Outdoor Warning System Complete!
The City of Pasadena and our Office of Emergency Management are proud to announce the completion of our Outdoor Warning System project, featuring the installation of four additional sirens, bringing our total to 29 sirens citywide. Once construction is completed on the new Fire Station 6 (1200 Kirby), we will add a siren for enhanced coverage.
This system adds another critical layer to our emergency alert network, alongside our official social media platforms and the custom “ReadyPasadena” Multimedia Messaging System (MMS), which sends alerts directly to you. With this enhanced coverage, we are better equipped to notify our entire community in the event of a natural or man-made disaster.
To sign up for our “ReadyPasadena” alerts, text the keyword PTXREADY to 77295.
Reminder: Pasadena, Deer Park, and La Porte sirens will be simultaneously tested every Saturday at noon (12 p.m.) for 1 minute.

As the weather changes, keep this in mind:
🚨 Not every storm-related issue is a 9-1-1 emergency.
Contacting 9-1-1 for non-emergencies can delay help for those facing real life-threatening emergencies.
👉 For things like power outages, downed power lines, broken traffic lights, or fallen trees, check out the list to find out who to contact. For weather and traffic updates, stay informed by following local media and authorities.
Let’s keep 9-1-1 available for those who truly need it.

Yuumi has changed her new owner’s life for the better! Check out what they had to say:
“This is Yuumi, she is now 6. I adopted her last year from the Pasadena Animal Shelter. She loves to greet me when I come home from work and will meow until I pick her up. She loves playing with her toys and eating yummy food. She sleeps next to me every night and now I’m at the point where I don’t get good sleep unless she’s next to me. Yuumi is very affectionate and follows me around everywhere. She loves to cuddle and I do too. BEST decision ever!”

Maybe no one wants me because I’m a senior dog… 💔
Hi, I’m Rowin. I’ve been told I’m a “good boy” that’s loving and playful. But I watch people walk by my kennel every day. They smile at the younger dogs and they don’t stop for me.
I try to stay hopeful. But it’s getting harder. The days are loud. The nights are long. And I’m starting to lose pieces of myself in here.

💔 Sandy waited… but no one came.
She was found at Strawberry Park with a microchip. But the number didn’t work and the email went unanswered.

Martin barks because he’s scared. He doesn’t understand why he’s here. The stress of the shelter is breaking him down every day.

Happy Tails Update! ❤️🐶
Priscilla has come out of her shell and bloomed with her new family! Check out what they had to say:
“We were told to take things slow, so I decided to take it really slow. I didn’t introduce her to the other dogs face-to-face or even let them interact under the door. Instead, I placed a recently used toy from each dog in front of her, along with a sock from my dad and my sweat rag from my morning treadmill run. Since I had things to do, I kept her in my room in a large crate for a while. Later, I let her explore the house on her own while the other dogs were put away. When she returned to my room, I left her out of the crate…
Over time, she started trusting me more. Now, she lets me pick her up, climbs all over me, and won’t leave my side. If I walk out of the room, she immediately follows….I’ve also trained her to enjoy water using positive reinforcement, which is a big step forward. We’re still working on socializing her with people, but she made amazing progress recently. For the very first time, she let someone outside of our household pet her. It was such a special moment to witness. Oh, and did I mention? She actually likes water now!”

Update details from Texas Department of Transportation on Beltway 8 frontage road construction.
Update on the Beltway 8 frontage road project in the Pasadena area. Crews are currently pouring new concrete pavement between Pasadena Blvd. to Red Bluff Rd on the northbound side. Crews will then continue to work placing new pavement on the northbound side between Fairmont and Spencer in the coming weeks.
TxDOT continues to address utility issues with the project, which has required some modifications to the drainage. This has altered the scheduled at times but the TxDOT Southeast Area Office remains committed in working with the contractor to move the project along and get as much work done as possible.
We sincerely thank the community for their patience as we work through completing this project. For closures related to the project go to www.houstontranstar.org and to submit a concern about the project go to https://www.txdot.gov/about/contact-us/report-an-issue.html.

My owner died, can you help me? 💔
My world changed overnight. I was taken away with my two dog brothers. They found homes with our neighbors. But no one wanted me.
Now I sit in the shelter, surrounded by unfamiliar smells and sounds. I’m confused and scared, and I miss being loved.
I have some grey-colored lumps in my ear. The shelter recommends ear ablation surgery, but I need a veterinarian to take a closer look and decide what’s best.
But I’m on the Urgent List 🚨. That means my time is almost up. Can you help me before it’s too late?
Love,
Diamond

Bree is smiling on the outside… but inside, she’s breaking 💔.
She’s a Belgian Malinois puppy and the kennel is crushing her spirit. She needs space to run, a purpose, someone to believe in her. Instead, she’s passed by and labeled “too much,” or “too energetic”.
Now she’s on the Urgent List 🚨, and time is slipping away because no one has given her a chance. Can you save her before it’s too late?

The good news is that crews have resumed work in our city, and visible progress is expected in the coming weeks. We appreciate your continued patience and will share additional updates as they become available.

“Pasadena Police were able to identify the suspect as Kenneth Leon Scott, Jr. (B/M 10/2/1976), shortly after the homicide investigation began. In the early morning hours of July 12th, Scott was apprehended by the Schulenburg Police Department in Fayette County. Scott was transported to the Fayette County Jail, where he is being held for transport to the Harris County Joint Processing Center.
The Harris County District Attorney has accepted the charges of Murder and Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon in regard to last night’s incident. The suspect did not disclose a motive at this time.
The Pasadena Police Department would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to the multiple agencies who assisted in the investigation; Harris County Precinct 8 Constable Phil Sandlin’s Deputies, Harris County Precinct 2 Constable Jerry Garcia’s Deputies, Fayette County Sheriff’s Office, the Colorado County Sheriff’s Office, Schulenburg Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety. The joint effort from these agencies led to the quick identification and apprehension of the suspect.”

Creativity was flowing as we painted alongside City Engineer Rick Masters—what a fun and artistic experience! 🎨
Fill the Bus is a partnership between the City of Pasadena, Pasadena Independent School District and the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce.
Created in 2018 by the City of Pasadena, Fill the Bus provides school supply support for local teachers. Every school year, teachers across the country are forced to personally subsidize school supplies for their classrooms, especially in Title I school districts like Pasadena ISD.
Fill the Bus aims to provide school supplies for every child in Pasadena while empowering teachers to decide which materials are best for their own classrooms.

My owner gave up on me after just one day…😞
Hi, I’m Doc. The shelter says I’m sweet, playful, and friendly… But my heart is hurting.
I was so happy to go home. And then… I was back. Alone again and forgotten again. And now I just sit here, waiting for someone who won’t come.
They say I’m on the Urgent List now 💔. I don’t know what that means, but I know it’s not good….
If you’re reading this… please help…Don’t give up on me too….

These 5 dogs are all amazing dogs who are sweet, smart, and would make great additions to homes. You may be asking, “If they’re all so amazing, why are they still there?” Guess what? We have the same question!
🚨Living in the shelter environment can be stressful for many animals, and these dogs are no different. They are all showing signs of kennel stress which would be remedied by getting into a home, whether through foster or adoption. Therefore, they are on the Urgent List, so your focus can be on the ones who need you the most at the moment. Those are these 5. 🚨
More information can be found in the captions under the photos, but we have:
🐶 Dash – A178966
🐶 Rosemary – A178549
🐶 Astrid – A179385 (Rescue or Adopt Only)
🐶 Alfie – 178390
🐶 Bandit – A178430
❤All dogs on the Urgent List have waived adoption fees and sponsored heartworm treatments, if applicable. They are or will be spayed/neutered, receive a microchip, 1-year rabies vaccine, and at least one round of core vaccines. *If you are a resident of Pasadena, a $10 fee for a city tag will still apply. ❤

💔 Dixie’s owner never came back for her.

Dixie came back limping—diagnosed with hip dysplasia. Even so, she’s still the sweet, affectionate girl we remember.
A volunteer favorite, Dixie is dog friendly, potty trained, appears kid friendly, and knows commands. She’s just looking for someone who won’t give up on her.
But now she’s on the Urgent List 🚨, and time is running out. Could you be the one who gives her the love she’s always deserved?

Updates on major storm sewer improvements along Red Bluff. Thank you for a great partnership, Harris County Flood Control District
Upgrades in Pasadena! City of Pasadena, Texas – Government, with support from the Flood Control District, has completed important storm sewer improvements along Red Bluff Road between Lance Avenue and Line Drive. This infrastructure project helps manage stormwater more effectively and reduce flood risk for nearby residents and businesses. While the Flood Control District does not typically construct road drainage, we are committed to partnering with local governments to support flood risk reduction wherever possible.
We appreciate the City of Pasadena’s leadership in advancing this critical community project!

Why do I keep getting passed by? What did I do wrong? 💔
Hi, I’m Dottie. Life changed when my person got sick and couldn’t care for me anymore. I know she loved me. And now I just want someone else to love me too….
I’m playful, smart, and mostly housetrained. I get along with other dogs, bark at strangers (just at first), and I really just need someone patient to help me settle in.
But I’m on the Urgent List now 🚨 and my time is almost up. Please… don’t let me fade away here.

🥔 Craving a real-life couch potato? Meet Okami!
This 13-year-old boy is round, hairy, and full of heart. He’s the definition of low-maintenance: naps, snacks, and quiet company are his specialties.
Okami was found as a stray, but no one came for him, and now he’s on the Urgent List 🚨. The shelter isn’t a place where a sweet old guy should spend his golden days.
He’s ready to be someone’s calm, cuddly companion. Could that be you?

📚Sign up now and track your reading, complete simple activities, and enter to win exciting prizes! 🚲
🚨 PLEASE SHARE: FOSTERS NEEDED FOR 1-WEEK OLD PUPPIES!
These Chihuahua mixed pups were found as strays and are extremely vulnerable in the shelter. Their immune systems aren’t fully developed, which puts them at serious risk.
They need bottle-feeding and care outside of the shelter, and without immediate help, we may lose them.
➡️ If you foster, we’ll provide everything you need to take care of them: formula, supplies, and support. You just give them a safe, loving space to grow stronger.
Fostering these babies could mean the difference between life and loss. Please don’t wait.

Jax was returned to the shelter at no fault of his own. He’s dog friendly, people friendly, sweet, and gentle.
But he’s on the Urgent List 🚨 and time is running out…can you save him?

🚨 MISSING FOSTER DOG‼️
Hi all, Joe is missing from his foster home. He’s been gone for nearly a week. He’s friendly but skittish so please don’t chase. He’s most likely tired and hungry so if you see him. Sit down and entice him with food if possible.
He went missing in the Heritage Park area of Friendswood and was seen a few times around, but there’s also been sightings of a brindle dog similar to him in the Kemah area. It’s not uncommon for them to travel distances like this. Please be on the lookout in the whole entire South of Pasadena area.
You can help by posting on your Nextdoor and Ring accounts too for everyone to be on the lookout for him. These two platforms have been instrumental in getting animals reunited.
You can also comment here if you see him or join the group he’s posted in “Friendswood Paws” to comment on the original post.
Help us get Joe back home.
Gus is great with kids and other dogs 🐶.
He’s a sweet, medium sized boy who did great in his foster home. They said he’s obedient, walks good on a leash, and rides well in a car.

The Pasadena Animal Shelter urges the public not to leave animals outside its doors. This practice is not only unsafe for the animals but also illegal. Recently, several cats were abandoned outside the shelter before opening hours, highlighting the urgency of this message. The shelter emphasizes the importance of proper care and handling of animals to ensure their safety.

Adoption Forms Happy Tails Update! ❤️🐱
Frodo, previously named Jenna, has made quite the impression on her new family! Check out what they had to say:
“Frodo is so sweet! She loves to nap at the foot of the bed or on the back of the couch. She gets along great with our other kitty, Bowser (she is also adopted from the Pasadena Animal Shelter in 2023!), and is beginning to come out of her shell and play! She does have one strange habit – drinking from the toilet! My family and I are so happy we adopted her and that she fits right in!”

Shelter life has her a bit stressed, but once she’s out of the kennel, her playful, bouncy side comes out. Tilly would love an active home where she can burn off energy and feel safe to be her fun, goofy self!
But she’s on the Urgent List and is running out of time…can you save her?

🥺 Does an old guy like me deserve a second chance?
My name is Rufus. I’m a gentle soul with thinning fur, and eyes that have seen more than most. I’ve lost some of my coat, probably allergies, and I’m heartworm positive… but treatment is available if someone is willing to fight for me.
I was once someone’s dog. I had a place. A name. Now I struggle in the shelter and listen to the younger ones leave before me. I try to stay hopeful, but each day gets a little quieter. A little colder.
They tell me I’m calm. That I’m sweet. That I still have so much love left to give. But I’m on the Urgent List 🚨 and my time is almost up…If you’re reading this, please… don’t let this be how my story ends.

📸 We told our senior girl to say “cheese”… and this was the look she gave us!
Ellie has gentle eyes, a heart full of love, and the sweetest face you’ll ever meet. Arthritis may slow her down, but it doesn’t stop her from soaking up affection and dreaming of a soft bed and a quiet home.
She’ll need a full veterinary work-up to help her feel her very best, along with someone patient and kind to help her settle in.
But Ellie is on the Urgent List 🚨, and time is running out. If slow strolls, warm cuddles, and soulful companionship sound like your kind of life, Ellie’s ready to meet you.

This sweet pup has it all: charm, cuddles, and even a dog-friendly attitude. Arlo is friendly, loving, and full of puppy heart but somehow, he keeps getting overlooked.
Now he’s one of our longest stay dogs… and he’s landed on the Urgent List 🚨.

No one came for me….💔
Not when I was rescued from that crowded house in April. Not when I arrived at the shelter, scared and silent. Not when I sat in the back of my kennel, hoping someone might stop and see me.
My name is Jeff. I’m a survivor of a hoarding case. There were too many of us, not enough space, not enough love, but it was the only life I knew.
Now I’m here. And it’s louder. Scarier. I try to be brave, but most days, I just tuck my tail and wait. I’m sweet. I’m potty trained. I just want a chance.
But I’m on the Urgent List now 🚨. Please… if you’re reading this, don’t scroll past me. I just want to know what it feels like to be loved…before it’s too late.

Hi, I’m Ranger and I tuck my tail because I’m scared 💔.
I’m a sweet boy with energy to burn and a mind that loves to work. But inside my kennel, I’m starting to break down. I pace. I bark. I don’t know what to do with myself.
But outside? I come alive. I’m smart, playful, and ready for adventure. I just need someone who sees past my stress and understands a dog like me.
But I’m on the Urgent List 🚨 and time’s running out. Please help me find a second chance, so I can be the dog I was meant to be…

Meet today’s Foster Features: Baird & Salt! 🐾
These two are thriving in foster care — and while they’re not bonded, they’ve both made a big impression in their own unique ways.
🐶 Baird is the definition of calm and comforting.
He spends most of his day relaxing, watching the world go by from the window, or catching up on naps. He enjoys gentle affection, especially little forehead pats, and is happiest when he can be close to his person. His crate is his quiet retreat, where he’ll sometimes go to recharge when he’s feeling more introverted.
Though laid-back, Baird still enjoys playful moments with the younger dogs in the home. He’s very well-mannered around people and would be a wonderful emotional support companion. His foster is still learning about his behavior around children, but so far, he seems like a genuinely sweet and adaptable dog.
🐶 Salt, affectionately known as Sal, is a young pup with a bright spirit.
He’s doing great with other dogs, is full of energy, and is currently working on crate training and basic cues. He’s eager to learn and be part of a home where he can continue to grow. While you’re working from home, Salt is happy to quietly entertain himself nearby — whether playing with toys or curling up for a nap. He’s the kind of companion who just wants to be close.
Both Baird and Salt are available for adoption (individually) and would love to find a home where they can feel safe, loved, and part of the family.
➡️ Interested in meeting one of them? Fill out a quick form here: https://www.pasadenatx.gov/FormCenter/Animal-Adoption-and-Foster-Applications-10/Animal-Adoption-Application-66
• Mr. Baird (black dog): A174873 – 6 Years Old – Neutered – Labrador Retriever mix.
• Salt (tri-colored dog): A176159 – 1.4 Years Old – Male – Heartworm negative – Siberian Husky mix.

Hi, I’m Jeff… and I’m a survivor of a hoarding case 💔.
Back in April, they took me from a home with too many of us. The woman meant well… she just wanted to help. But there were too many of us, and not enough space.
Now I’m in a shelter. It’s loud. It’s scary. I’m still trying to be brave. They tell me I’m sweet and potty trained. I never asked for much, just a quiet place, a kind hand, and a little love.
But time is running out and I’m on the Urgent List 🚨. Please… if you have space in your heart, could you be the one to save me?
– Jeff

Silvia’s family never came back for her 💔
Silvia was adopted in late 2023. We thought it was her happy ending. But last month, she showed up as a stray, alone and confused. We tried everything to reach her adopter. No one ever answered.
Her finders say she’s sweet, gentle, and wonderful with kids. She’s potty- and kennel-trained, and she used to do well in doggy playgroups, she just needs calm companions like her.
Now Silvia sits quietly in her kennel, waiting again… but this time, time is running out. She’s on the Urgent List 🚨. Please don’t let this be how her story ends. She deserves so much more…

URGENT: Walter Needs a Miracle 💔
Walter came to us broken—his skin raw from a very bad skin infection, his eyes clouded with gunk and pain. We’re doing all we can to take care of him, but he needs a home and continued care out of the shelter to heal.
Walter is gentle, sweet, and just wants a a second chance. But he’s on the Urgent List 🚨 and time is running out…

How cute is this face? 😍
Dutchess is a sweet, medium-sized girl with so much love to give. She was recently adopted but unfortunately had to come back after a conflict with the adopter’s other dog. No one was hurt, but it was clear she’d do best as the only pet in the home.
Since her return, Dutchess has been struggling. The stress of the kennel is starting to take its toll, and we can see the worry in her eyes. She’s on the Urgent List 🚨, and her time is running short.
But Dutchess is so much more than her past. She doesn’t need perfect—just someone willing to see her, choose her, and give her a real shot. Can you be that person?

Caring for our community pets is a collaborative effort, and we are so thankful for your support and that of our partners.

My name is Frankie… and no one has come for me. 💔
I’ve been here for over 60 days, watching other dogs leave with wagging tails… while I stay behind, still waiting. Still hoping.
I try to be brave. I still greet people with soft eyes and a wag. I’m gentle, I love to play, and I get along with other dogs. I have so much love to give…
But I’m on the 🚨 Urgent List 🚨 now and time is slipping away. I don’t want this to be the end of my story. Please… if you’re out there, I’m still here. I’m still waiting.

🚨 Rescue Plea for Oscar: he’s hurting in body and in spirit 🚨
He needs an FHO (femoral head ostectomy) surgery to relieve the pain, but stuck in a crowded shelter, all he can do is wait. And hope.
Through it all, Oscar remains gentle. He greets people with soft eyes and a quiet heart, never asking for much, just a chance to feel safe, to be loved, to heal.
But Oscar is now on the Urgent List 💔, and his time is running out. He doesn’t deserve to spend another day in pain. He deserves a soft bed, a kind hand, and a rescue willing to give him the second chance he’s still waiting for.
Please don’t let this be the end of his story…

This sweet boy is all heart and just wants to be someone’s one-and-only. He prefers not to share his food or space with other pets but with people? He’s a total lovebug.
Astro has a few eye issues that may need a little ongoing care, but what he needs most is a calm, caring home to feel safe and finally rest.
⏳ But he’s on the Urgent List and time is running out.
If you’ve got room in your heart for one amazing dog, Astro’s ready to fill it!

Will you be my hero?

My name is Charles and I need a rescue to save me. 🖤
This place is loud, scary, and I’m not getting better here. I was found alone, with skin issues, and now I spend most of my days hiding. I’m overwhelmed and shut down, but I want to feel safe again.
I’m not ready for much handling yet, but I want to trust. I just need time, patience, and a quiet place to heal.
But I’m on the Urgent List and I’m running out of time…Please don’t let me be forgotten. I just need a chance. If you’re a rescue who can help me, or know one that can, please help me before it’s too late…

This sweet boy is all heart (with a side of Lab wiggles)! Shelter life has been a little too loud and overwhelming for Chip, but take him out for a walk, and you’ll see the magic start to happen. His tail loosens up, his eyes soften, and that lovable personality peeks through.
Chip just needs a calm, patient home where he can breathe, decompress, and feel safe. In return? You’ll get loyalty, love, and a forever best friend who’s ready to give you everything he’s got.

Hi, I’m Rose, and I need your help to heal. 🌹
I’m a quiet, gentle soul with eyes that hurt and ears that itch. The vets say it’s pigmentary keratitis, corneal edema, and some infections but I’m on treatment now, and they say I’m getting better.
I don’t ask for much. A soft bed, a calm home, and someone who will love me through the healing. I’ve been through more than I can say, but I still have hope.
They tell me I’m sweet, mellow, and full of love. I just need someone to believe I’m worth saving because I’m on the Urgent List 🚨, and time is running out. Can you help me?
Love,
Rose

Thiago is hurting. 💔
His people never came back… and now he waits alone, day after day, with zero applications. He doesn’t understand why no one wants him.
Thiago is sweet, loyal, and full of love. But shelter life is breaking his spirit. He’s strong on leash, can jump fences, and needs someone patient, experienced, and kind. Someone who sees his potential, not just his past.
He’s not perfect. But he’s trying. And he’s so worth it. Please don’t let him be forgotten. Come meet Thiago before time runs out because he’s on the Urgent List…🚨
