Steve’s Message - Summer 2006
Caring for homeless companion animals requires hard work and difficult decisions by a broad spectrum of compassionate individuals and organizations, including shelters, breed rescue clubs, and private animal adoption agencies. These groups and individuals may differ in their methods and focus, but all agree on one goal: that every homeless companion animal deserves a humane, life-affirming outcome. Historically, the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA has networked with sanctuaries and other adoption partners nationwide to find appropriate homes for the wide variety of animals in our care. Sometimes, it just takes a little creativity and some extra effort on the part of our dedicated staff when we are nearing capacity or to find a permanent home for a challenging but adoptable animal.
In the past few years, an increasing number of individuals have formed locally-based organizations to provide in-home foster care and adoption services for pets in need. Born of the compassion and concern of animal lovers who often donate their time and open their homes to help end the tragedy of pet overpopulation, this grass roots effort offers another valuable resource to our community.
PHS believes that our community’s pets in need are best served when our community’s animal lovers and animal welfare agencies work together. We are committed to creating policies and oureach events that connect the entire animal care community, thus offering even more choices to our adopters and ultimately saving the lives of even more animals.
On Sunday, October 8, PHS will host an adoption day for our placement partners. This event will be held in the training center where animals of all kind--including reptiles, dogs, cats, and rabbits-- will be available for adoption. It is a great opportunity to find a pet—and to learn about the impressive network of people and agencies working to make our community a better place for pets in need.
We look forward to working with even more animal lovers in our mission to reach zero euthanasia of adoptable animals.
