Scrappy (l) and Maximus (r)

Here are the Pets of the Week available for adoption at the Pasadena Humane Society this week:

 

Scrappy (A525042) is a fun-loving, five-year-old German Shepherd with a heart as big as his smile. From the moment he steps outside, his enthusiasm is contagious. He’s curious and confident, always eager to explore, sniff every tree, and meet new friends along the way.

Scrappy loves to play, especially when there’s a plush toy or a “find it” game involved, and he’s just as happy soaking up pets and attention from anyone nearby. He already knows his “sit,” checks in nicely with you as you walk along, and is responsive to direction, even when that nearby squirrel looks very interesting!

He’s strong and full of life, but easy to handle with consistency and care. With his affectionate nature and joyful spirit, Scrappy would thrive with an active adopter ready to share in his adventures and snuggles alike.

Ready to meet your new best friend? Scrappy is available for adoption for free this November in honor of Adopt a Senior Pet Month – because love only gets better with age!
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.

 

 

Maximus (A519448) is a 9-year-old brown pit bull mix at Pasadena Humane who is all heart and ready for a new beginning. An Eaton Fire survivor who lost his home, this gentle giant hasn’t let hardship dim his spirit. Calm, affectionate, and well-mannered – according to his beloved foster family – Maximus is potty trained, sleeps soundly through the night, and is a perfect gentleman in the house.

He enjoys leisurely walks, relaxing in the sun, and soaking up affection from everyone he meets. Maximus would do best as the only dog in the home, where he can be the center of attention and love.

Come meet Maximus at Pasadena Humane — and take him (or another senior sweetheart) home for free this November during Senior Pet Month!
