The Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA saw 132 people in its adoption offices for the first ever Pet Adoption Day in partnership with Assemblymen Chris Holden, Mike Gatto and Ed Chau. Twenty-nine cats, 14 dogs, one parakeet, one lovebird and one chicken found new homes at the free adoption event held at the shelter on Tuesday, July 8.

Each Assemblymember spoke about the importance of finding loving homes for all animals and the services provided at the Pasadena Humane Society. They were each given an animal to showcase for the day; Holden was partnered with a Siberian Husky mix, Gatto with a kitten from the PHS Foster Program and Chau with a Chow mix.

“On an average Tuesday we may have 30 sign-ins, and maybe 4-5 dogs and 5-6 cats adopted,” says Kevin McManus, adoption supervisor at the shelter. “We are extremely happy about the turn out and that so many animals found homes.”

This adoption event will be held annually due to its great success, but the Pasadena Humane Society still has animals that need homes. To view animals available for adoption visit pasadenahumane.org/adopt. Adoption hours are Tuesday-Friday 9 a.m.–5 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m.–4 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m.–4 p.m. The Pasadena Humane Society is located at 361 South Raymond Ave. Pasadena.
