Sonnet (l) and Dobby (r)
Here are the Pets of the Week available for adoption at the Pasadena Humane Society this week:
Sonnet (A523941) is a two-year-old Australian Kelpie at Pasadena Humane who has raised her puppies and has seen them through to adoption – now it’s her turn to find her own loving home!
Sonnet is a gentle, affectionate dog with a quiet energy indoors and a playful side outdoors, according to her beloved foster family. While shy at first, Sonnet quickly bonds and becomes a loyal shadow, following her person everywhere. She’s happiest playing fetch, or curling up by your side for a good nap.
She’s house-trained, doesn’t bark, and has excellent manners – no begging, no jumping, and no pushing for attention. She sticks close off leash in secure spaces and is very respectful of boundaries.
Sonnet would do best in a quiet, child-free home where she can settle in at her own pace. She’s still learning to trust new people and places, but once she opens up, she’s incredibly loving. Now available for a 10-day adoption trial, let her show you what a special companion she can be!
Sonnet and all other available animals will have their adoption fees waived on Free Adoption Day, October 18th from 10am to 2pm.
The adoption fee for dogs is $150. All dog adoptions include spay or neuter, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccines.
Walk-in adoptions are available every day from 10:00 – 5:00. View photos of adoptable pets at pasadenahumane.org.
New adopters will receive a complimentary health-and-wellness exam from VCA Animal Hospitals, as well as a goody bag filled with information about how to care for your pet.
Pets may not be available for adoption and cannot be held for potential adopters by phone calls or email.
Meet Dobby (A522691), a lovable one-year-old Rottweiler at Pasadena Humane with a heart as big as his paws. This gentle boy has a playful spirit and a soft, affectionate side that wins everyone over. He loves splashing around in the pool (and doesn’t mind sharing the fun with a generous shake-off nearby), chasing after squeaky toys, and enjoying a nice stroll at his own pace.
Dobby has a hip condition, so he thrives best with moderate activity and plenty of cozy downtime. He’s happiest in a calm, loving home where he can balance play and rest. In his previous home, Dobby did well with children and familiar dogs, and at the shelter he continues to show his sweet, friendly nature. He takes treats with the gentlest mouth and is quick to roll over or paw at you for more affection. He truly loves being close to his people!
This treat-motivated, playful pup will flourish with adopters who can give him patience, consistency, and lots of love. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will bring joy, cuddles, and laughter to your days, Dobby is ready to meet you and become your new best friend.
