Brodie (l) and Strider (r)
Here are the Pets of the Week available for adoption at the Pasadena Humane Society this week:
At 13 years young, Brodie (A526614) is proof that age is just a number. This easygoing Lab mix is an absolute sweetheart who’s mastered the art of companionship. He’s low-key and calm, happiest when he’s lounging nearby, enjoying gentle pets, or heading out for a comfortable stroll around the block. Brodie walks nicely on leash, has excellent mobility for his age, and still gets a spark of joy from sniffing adventures and the occasional squirrel chase. He’s fully house-trained, adjusts easily to new routines, and rarely barks—making him a wonderfully peaceful housemate.
Brodie is extremely food motivated and absolutely lights up for treats, snuffle mats, and puzzle toys. He may pass on traditional toys, but give him a brain game with snacks involved, and he’s all in! He bonds quickly to people and loves snuggles, often content to simply rest by your side. He may have some hearing loss, but he responds well to hand signals and doesn’t let it slow him down one bit.
Brodie isn’t a fan of car rides and has been known to counter surf if tasty treasures are left within reach, but those are small quirks in an otherwise near-perfect gentleman. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate, devoted companion to share your couch and your heart, Brodie is ready to meet you.

Strider (A526819) is a striking 2-year-old black German Shepherd mix with a zest for life that’s impossible to miss. From the moment he heads out on an adventure, he’s wiggly, excited, and ready to go! This high-energy boy loves to run and play, and he thrives when he has space to stretch his legs and engage his active mind.
Like many young dogs, Strider benefits from positive reinforcement and structure—he’s very treat motivated and eager to work, making him a wonderful candidate for continued training and enrichment.
On a recent outing, Strider showed just how smart and affectionate he can be. After settling in, he blossomed into a playful, exuberant goofball—pouncing into play bows, proudly parading around with plush toys, and even rolling on his back while clutching his treasures in his paws.
Training sessions are where Strider really shines; he’s laser-focused and quick to learn, showing off cues like sit, paw, and down, and even picking up stay and spin. He responds beautifully to rewards, whether tasty treats or loving pets. With continued positive training, regular exercise, and lots of love, Strider has all the makings of an incredibly devoted and fun-loving companion.
