South Pasadena Pets Now Up For Adoption: Lyka, Mia, Akira & More
Want to add a new member to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter or organization! Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, facilities have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home across California — many of whom are located near you. In the search for an adorable new family pet, consider beginning at a local animal shelter like Pasadena Humane, where Kai the cat is waiting patiently. If you aren’t sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed in appropriate homes.
Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We put together a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you’re a dog person, meet LYKA, a German Shepherd Dog mix up for adoption. If cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
