4) Immediately report waterline breaks to the Mayor’s Action Line at (713) 475-5555.

Our shelter is critically full and WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP! 🐾
Due to the January tornado, the Pasadena Animal Shelter is operating on 15% of the space we once had. The building we are in is smaller than most of the surrounding city shelters when Pasadena’s population is considerably larger. When the space was taken away, the need did not go away. The building we are currently using has 45 built-in kennels for cats & dogs, however, just last week, we took in 149 cats and 88 dogs.
We are working very hard to save as many as we can, but the limited space has also limited our operations. But together, we can change that!
By adopting or fostering a pet, you become a hero in their lives and make a significant difference to our shelter. You provide a pet with a warm bed, a loving home, and a chance at a brighter future. It also allows our shelter to free up space, giving us the opportunity to rescue even more animals from difficult situations.
Whether you’re looking for a loyal companion or simply want to make a difference, now is the perfect time to open your heart and home to a pet.

• Want to adopt? Use this link: https://www.pasadenatx.gov/FormCenter/Animal-Adoption-and-Foster-Applications-10
Remember, ALL of our adoption fees are waived in August for the #ClearTheShelters campaign! All animals will come with at least one set of vaccines, spay/neuter, and a microchip.
Help us spread the word and find these paw-some animals their perfect match! Visit the shelter, share this post, tag your friends, and let’s continue to create a powerful community of animal lovers who want to save lives. 🐱🐶
