Moto-Moto (l) and Yogi (r)
Here are the Pets of the Week available for adoption at the Pasadena Humane Society this week:
Five-year-old husky Moto-Moto (A515372) came to us in rough shape. He had a large tumor on his right hind leg that was causing him difficulty.
Thankfully, the shelter’s veterinary staff successfully removed the tumor and felt he has a good prognosis. He was fitted with a special boot to prevent him from dragging his foot that he will probably have to wear indefinitely.
Despite this adversity, Moto has been taking everything in stride. He is an excellent patient, mainly because he sees every opportunity he has with anyone he meets as a chance to get some snuggling. He is like a big, fluffy teddy bear as he makes his way from person to person, soaking in all the attention.
Moto was recently staying with one of the Pasadena Humane foster families, and they rave about him. They say he seems to like other dogs and loves all the people he’s met, even kids. He can be a picky eater, but he has lots of favorite snacks, and he’s a big fan of squeaky toys.
This sweet boy is just waiting for his forever snuggle-buddy. If you are looking for an affectionate, mellow dude, come meet Moto!
Because of Moto’s age, he is eligible for the Seniors for Seniors program. His adoption fee is waived for any adopter over 60.
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 2:00 – 5:00. For those who prefer, adoption appointments are available daily from 10:30 – 1:30 and can be scheduled online. 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.
Yogi (A515800) is a 4-year-old Shepherd with a gentle heart and a strong desire for affection. He’s a sweet, lovable boy who thrives on human interaction and enjoys being the center of attention, leaning in for pets and scritches at every opportunity. Yogi’s interactions with Pasadena Humane volunteers showcase his affectionate nature, often nudging for more pets and even resting his head on laps to soak up all the love he can get.
Yogi is happiest when he’s getting plenty of attention and love, often rolling on his back in delight or nudging for more scritches.
Despite his generally calm and affectionate demeanor, Yogi is still learning to navigate the world confidently. He can be a bit cautious in new environments, especially busy streets or when encountering unfamiliar noises like loud buses or flags flapping. However, he’s curious and brave, taking his time to evaluate what’s ahead and often proceeding with encouragement. Yogi’s gentle, loving personality shines through even when he’s feeling uncertain, and he seeks reassurance through close contact and affection.
Yogi would be a fantastic companion for someone looking for a loyal and affectionate dog who enjoys quiet moments of affection as much as he does exploring the world around him.
