Poor Boomer can’t even smile with canned cheese in front of his face. Can you hook this ole boy up for the rest of his best life?

Dear Animal Lover Community,
I’m Boomer, a senior dog who longer smiles…😞
I keep thinking about how I will live out the rest of my days without a home…
I keep asking myself why no one will give me a chance…
I know how to be a good boy…I’m potty trained and I love people…but I don’t understand why I can’t get that love back….

Can you help me? I URGENTLY need to be adopted, fostered, or rescued.

With a heavy heart,
Boomer 💔

Inmate Emilio gives off the happy vibes hoping you’ll rescue him soon.

Before visiting Emilio, his face may have appeared sad, lonely, and perhaps a bit timid. However, after visiting him, his face is radiant, happy, and filled with love and gratitude. The ideal face to see would be the one after the visit, as it shows Emilio’s true happiness and contentment. By giving Emilio’s face before you visit him versus after you visit him 😍

Animal Shelter happy tails update on Ivy now Luna. One furry friend at a time.

Happy Tails Update! ❤️🐶
Our beautiful girl Ivy, now known as Luna, has changed her new family’s life for the better! Check out what they had to say:
“Luna is the kindest, most gentle, loving, snuggly, pup. She absolutely adores our girls and just truly loves each of us so much.
After losing our oldest pup just a few weeks prior to rescuing Luna, she is everything we needed in our lives.
Our dogs at home have taken to her so well. Our oldest pup is 14 and Luna will lay down on her back to play with her. Our other dog is 4 and is becoming a puppy again, playing with Luna! Watching them build a relationship and just take to each other so well has been amazing.
All in all, Luna has been the absolute best rescue. Our family is complete with her!”

A trio of love and rescue out of the Animal Shelter.

Happy Tails Update! ❤️🐶🐶🐱

Our 3 animals have brought a ton of love to our team member Emma’s life! Check out what she had to say:

“In 2019, I had adopted 2 dogs from Pasadena Animal Shelter. At the time, I was volunteering and had met Ralph (formerly Elijah) in May. I took him on a doggie date with a friend and instantly fell in love with him.

I was able to convince my grandparents to let me foster him and they said yes! Within a week, we all knew that he was special and that letting him go would be hard. My grandparents then agreed to let me adopt him.

After a few weeks we learned that Ralph had bad separation anxiety when left alone. We then came to an agreement to get him a puppy friend, this way he always has someone with him. In August, I did a meet with Ralph and Furnando and they LOVED each other!

Then in 2023, I had been working for the shelter and mentioned to a co-worker I wanted to adopt a kitten. They had then told me that we just got a beautiful gray kitten in. I met with him and knew I wanted to bring him home! I adopted him and named him Ghost! The moment he came home, Ralph and Furnando immediately took to him and would play with him like he was another dog.

3 animals and I wouldn’t have it any other way. They have all turned out to be wonderful and I couldn’t have asked for a better trio! Thank you for letting me show these babies what love means!”

Do you have a Happy Tail about your furry friend? We’d love to hear it. Just send us an email with the subject line “Happy Tail” to [email protected].

We have found your forever friend. Meet Ray, the 50 pound playful and curious foster dog.

Foster Highlight!

RAY
A166343- neutered, UTD on shots, Heartworm negative, 50 pounds.
Ray is currently at the shelter temporarily (Foster is on vacation) but is looking for a forever home or rescue.
Ray is playful and curious in the foster home. He loves toys and shares a home with two other dogs (one male and one female) although it seems he enjoys the company of the female more.
He is potty trained and sleeps quietly in his crate at night. He walks well on a leash. When he comes into the shelter, he is extremely stressed, spending most of his kennel time barking, jumping and spinning so we are looking for alternative avenues to find Ray a forever home.

These sweet pups were returned at no fault of their own. Their previous adopter was not able to physically accommodate 2 large dogs.
But space is limited for them because our shelter is still being repaired…
They are bot people friendly and appear to be potty trained.
Though we would normally recommend separating them, the hope is to find them a home together (we may consider separate homes to experienced adopters/fosters).

Good news out of the Animal Shelter and the journey of MJ from Wonder to beloved family member.

Happy Tails Update! ❤️🐶

Our beautiful girl Wonder, now named MJ, has changed her new family’s life for the better! Check out what they had to say:
“As my mother neared her death, I felt very anxious about what life would be like when she passed. I decided that I would finally adopt a dog.
I had seen Wonder, now known as MJ, on my Facebook feed and had fallen in love with her. She was exactly the dog I always thought I would have. My boyfriend, however, wasn’t too set on her. In fact, she didn’t make his short list because he said she was part Lab, and they can be a handful.
When we met MJ, it was as if she knew she had to win over my boyfriend because she showered him with kisses. Then, she walked over to me, gave me her paw, and laid at my feet. It was pretty clear that she was the one. We took her home that day.
Two months later, we got a kitten and named him Venom. MJ and Venom have been best of friends. When MJ has bad dreams, Venom goes to check on her. When Venom coughs up hairballs, MJ runs to check on him. They both gave me a reason to function when the world felt so sad.
Since adopting MJ, she’s spent some time with the amazing trainers at Tail To Tail Training to help her through her big feelings. She got to attend the celebration after my boyfriend and I got married. She’s been to work with me a few times and has a vast collection of toys from her
BarkBox. And of course, there’s been pup cups, lots of them.

The overflowing Animal Shelter is in desperate need of adoptions and fosters. 83 animals taken in, 37 more on the way.

83….that is the number of animals that we’ve taken in this week, and we still have 37 animals that are scheduled to come in….

Our shelter is full, and we do not have 37 open kennels….

We’re having to use overflow areas of our shelter that are supposed to be used for other things to try to hold animals. In the video is our Education room….

The less space we have, the increase of animals that urgently need to be adopted or fostered….

Please help us…our shelter and animals really need you 💔.

URGENT: BARBIE & KEN STILL NEED A HOME 💔
These sweet pups were found as strays, abandoned at an apartment complex where they only had each other. All they want now is just a warm home from a kind heart.
They are both dog friendly and appear to be potty trained.
Though we would normally recommend separating them, the hope is to find them a home together (we may consider separate homes to experienced adopters/fosters).

Madison Jobe took a journey into the past day tripping to the Heritage Village Museum.

Our day trip to the Heritage Village Museum was an unforgettable journey into the past. Each exhibit, from the schoolhouse to the general store and the blacksmith’s workshop, transported us back to a simpler time. The Clyde Gray House Museum, with its rich history and preserved artifacts, offered a glimpse into the lives of a prominent family who once called it home. It was a day filled with fascinating discoveries and cherished memories.

We have dogs and cats that have been in the shelter for over 30 days.

That’s 30 days of various faces passing them by, 30 days of being scared in an unfamiliar environment, and 30 days of dreaming for a forever home.

Can you be the one to give them the second chance they deserve? No animal should spend their life in a shelter.

Adoptable Bandit’s hair will never clog you’re vacuum.

It’s Foster Friday, and Bandit is ready for his fur-ever home! 🐶

Check out what his foster family had to say:

“Bandit is a quiet, thoughtful middle-aged neutered boy who, once he gets to know you, will tap dance, happily smile, and prance around to chase a ball.

He is looking for a caring and compassionate home that will help build his confidence and understand that he is a bit shy when meeting new people.

He is also a bit wary of other dogs but has been successful meeting an older low energy spayed female. He is house trained and really enjoys his daily biscuit.”

Want to meet Bandit and give him the home he’s always dreamed of? Reach out to us today and we’ll schedule a time for you to meet him!

• Bandit: A166308 – 6 Years Old – Neutered – House trained – Aust Cattle Dog – 45 pounds – Heartworm positive.

Meet Woofie Goldberg she’s a sweet and social Akita ready for her home.

⭐️ STAFF FAVORITE SPOTLIGHT: Woofie Goldberg! ⭐️

Woofie is a favorite here at the shelter and she’s ready to find her fur-ever home! Check out what our team had to say about her:

“Woofie is the BEST girl! She’s coming around so nicely with people and is the SWEETEST thing! She loves pets and will raise her paw if you stop petting her, it’s her way of asking for more. She walks perfectly on the leash, and never pulls.”

PLS&R: Success at the inaugural Lago Mar Reunion Roundup PRCA Rodeo.

 This past weekend, our Arena Committee had the honor of assisting Frontier Rodeo Company and Gunslinger Productions at the inaugural Lago Mar Reunion Roundup PRCA Rodeo held in Texas City. Not only did our Arena committee show up and show out, but several of our volunteers and board members came to show support as well.

To Pasadena Rodeo, that is what the rodeo way of life is all about. We are there for each other; we stand back and cheer for someone else’s success. It’s not about “OUR” rodeo or “THEIR” rodeo; it’s about spreading the knowledge and love of rodeo to our fellow men, women, and children.

Looks like Loki the dog is keeping his new family young.

Happy Tails Update! ❤️🐶

Our handsome boy Bentley, now named Loki, is doing incredible with his adopted family! Check out what they had to say:

“Bentley (now Loki) is adjusting very well. Our older dogs are tolerating his puppy-ness very well! Zeke pictured on the mat with Loki only let out a big sigh when Loki decided he was snuggling.

Estella, our other ridgeback mutt was indifferent at first but now is quite playful with him. They all run circles around the backyard and Loki does his best to keep up.

Loki has also done so well in his crate, is learning SIT and STAY & is finally relaxing…He’s also been eating extremely well and has been very adaptable to boundaries and training. He also follows my husband everywhere, as if he’s the chosen one! It’s pretty adorable.

We cannot wait to see the dog Loki becomes as the months and years go on. Thank you for blessing us with this sweet boy. He is just the perfect addition to our family.”

He’s not the only one feeling the shockwaves. All of our cats are baffled, too!

From charming whiskers to playful personalities, each of them have a heart full of love to share.

Happy tails are here again. An update on Phoebe and Joey’s amazing bond.

Happy Tails Update! ❤️🐱

Our beautiful cats are doing amazing with their adopted family. Check out what they had to say:

“We adopted Phoebe and Joey from the shelter last December. Everyone asked why we wanted to adopt two cats who knew each other, and I think these pictures answer that question! We wanted our cats to have a playmate and a friend, aside from us. These two adore each other, and they couldn’t be more different.

We call Joey the “party cat” as he is social and wants to say hi to everyone and be in on all of the action. He taught US how to play fetch with him! Phoebe is more timid and reserved, only giving out affection when she’s in the mood. She is very sweet and petite.

We are so grateful that they are ours and so thankful that they have such an amazing bond. And more than anything, we love being able to provide a safe, warm, dry, entertaining home for them where they are loved and adored (maybe too much sometimes!).”

Do you have a Happy Tail about your furry friend? We’d love to hear it. Just send us an email with the subject line “Happy Tail” to [email protected].

 Dear Animal Lover Community,

I really need you 💔. My previous owner brought me and my buddy Red to the shelter because he could no longer take care of us due to old age.

Red has already been adopted, but now I am here in the shelter alone. I miss Red, I miss my previous owner, and I miss being loved.

I have not smiled since I’ve been at the shelter and I have become stressed with all of the unfamiliar faces and noises.

I URGENTLY need a loving adopter, foster, or rescue. Can you help me?

With a Heavy Heart,

Peanut got a new mailing address with the help of Lucky Family Dog.

ADOPTED! 🐶 Peanut has found her fur-ever home all thanks to Lucky Family Dog.

Peanut went through their amazing foster training program where she worked with trainers who taught her obedience commands, and helped her with her anxiety and adapting to new environments.
We greatly appreciate Lucky Family Dog and all that they do to support our animals and shelter!

Cooni and Ronti aren’t doing so good in the Animal Shelter and probably fixing to go over the rainbow bridge unless you can help.

Cooni and Ronti, two cats at a shelter, have been visibly affected by the stressful environment and are in need of a new home urgently. They used to be friendly and full of life, but now they have withdrawn and are struggling. The shelter is desperate to find them adopters, fosters, or a rescue organization to give them a chance to shine once more. They do not have to be adopted together. Anyone interested can fill out an application on the Pasadena Pet Adoption Center website or contact them directly.
************************
URGENT: PLEASE HELP COONI & RONTI 💔

Cooni and Ronti are no longer the same cats. They came to our shelter as friendly, bright-eyed companions, eager to find their forever homes.
Over time, however, the shelter environment has taken its toll. They are stressed and their spirits have dimmed which has caused them to withdraw and struggle.
We cannot bear to see them fade away in our shelter. They deserve a chance to shine once more. In order for these sweet souls to shine, they URGENTLY need an adopter, foster, or rescue. They DO NOT have to stay together!

Your kindness can be the turning point in their lives, and help them heal and rebecome the happy and loving cats they once were.

Help the Animal Shelter’s orphan Milo make the cut by adopting, fostering or rescuing him from his last shot.

PLEASE SHARE: Milo Is Stressed 💔

Milo used to have the biggest smile on his face.
He would smile in his kennel, smile in playgroups, and smile with our staff and volunteers.
He is one of our longer stay dogs and since he’s been here, his smile has declined. He’s become stressed, sad, and has started to lose hope on finding a loving home.
Can you be the one to bring a smile back to Milo’s face? The shelter has limited space and he URGENTLY needs an adopter, foster, or rescue.

*Dog Adoption Fees Are Only $10 In October*

• Milo: A166758 – 3 Years Old – Neutered – Dog social – People social – Heartworm negative.
