With fall officially here, we can look back on an action-packed summer at Pasadena Humane.

Typically our busiest time of year, we were able to find homes for hundreds of animals through monthly free adoption days, in addition to our regular adoption appointments every day of the week.

While you might think we were able to “Clear the Shelter” and have found homes for all the animals in need, unfortunately, more have taken the place of those adopted.

That’s why we welcome the month of October, which is officially Adopt a Shelter Dog Month.

Adopting a dog is an incredibly rewarding experience. The unconditional love and companionship you will receive are simply priceless. And you are changing a dog’s life by welcoming them into a loving home.

At Pasadena Humane, we have dozens of dogs hoping for a second chance at a happily ever after. Dogs like Sebastian, a 7-year-old German shepherd who loves playing with toys and is great at fetch. And Milton, a 9-year-old pit bull mix who loves soft beds and snuggling in blankets.

If you are considering adopting a new dog (which I hope you are!), it’s a good idea to start getting ready before welcoming your new pooch. Here are a few ways to prepare:

If you’ve been considering bringing home a new canine companion, don’t delay. Dogs at shelters truly need your help right now.
