Scrappy (l) and Marble (r)

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

 

Scrappy (A520827) is a 20-pound chihuahua/hound mix with a heart as big as his ears—and trust us, those ears are epic. Sometimes they even get adorably stuck behind his head, and it’s impossible not to smile.

This sweet, medium-energy pup is all about building deep bonds. Once he trusts you, Scrappy becomes the ultimate cuddle buddy, happiest curled up beside you for a nap or offering his signature paw-shake.

Scrappy has been in a foster home with a Pasadena Humane volunteer, and he’s gotten a great report. He’s fully house-trained, crate-savvy (especially with some calming tunes), and knows a few solid commands like “sit,” “shake,” and “crate.”

Scrappy’s ideal match is someone patient, consistent, and ready to love a quirky, devoted companion who just wants to be near his person. If you’re looking for a pint-sized pal with a giant personality and unforgettable ears, Scrappy might just be your perfect match.

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 Marble (A517441), a 1 ½ year-old German Shepherd mix who is full of potential. While she can be a bit nervous in new environments, Marble quickly shows her sweet, affectionate side once she feels safe. On a recent field trip, she leaned in for calm, reassuring pets and clearly appreciated the quiet companionship. Treats weren’t her thing that day, but gentle touch and a patient presence made all the difference—she’s truly a soft soul at heart.

Marble did great on a short hike, staying close and responsive on leash while calmly navigating the trail. She wasn’t fazed by squirrels or children she passed, she was just a good girl doing her best. Afterward, she chose the shadiest, most peaceful spot on Occidental’s campus to relax and watch the world go by, clearly savoring the calm.

Marble is looking for a quiet, adult-only home with no other pets, where she can feel secure and continue growing in confidence. She’s a sensitive, intelligent girl who will thrive with patient guidance, consistent routines, and lots of love. If you’re someone who enjoys the outdoors but also knows the value of a shaded spot to just be, Marble could be your perfect match.
