Notice to Public: Changes in Services at Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA

 

 

Following the increased and overwhelming concerns regarding the COVID-19 virus, Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA has decided to close to the public beginning Monday, March 16, 2020. Animal control officers will continue to respond to emergency animal welfare and public safety calls.

We value the health and safety of our residents, their pets, the animals in our care, and our employees, and hold these health considerations at the forefront of all operational decisions.

During this time, service changes will include:

• Our Adoptions Center will be temporarily closed to the public.
• If you believe your lost pet is being cared for at PHS, please call to schedule an appointment to bring your pet home.
• PHS will not be accepting “stray” healthy cats. Sick or injured cats can still be brought in by appointment.
• We ask the public to renew pet licenses by mail only.
• All community outreach activities and events have been temporarily suspended, including: After-school Kids 4 Animals Club, Sunday Morning Helpers, Barks & Books, and community workshops.
• Pet behavior classes have been postponed.
• Our “Shelter Shop” for retail pet supplies will be closed to the public.
• Pet Boarding will not be accepting any new appointments at this time.

We are currently seeking community volunteers to foster shelter animals. If you are able to open your heart and your home to an adoptable pet as a temporary foster, please contact us at foster@pasadenahumane.org.

During this closure, the health and safety of the animals in our care remains our top priority.

We commit to updating our communications as conditions change.
