May-June 2007

Wanting to create more connections between people and animals led us to begin Sunday business hours on April 1st. On our first open Sunday, Liz Baronowski’s classes on First Aid for Pets were well attended and many people went on behind the scenes tours of the shelter.We welcomed new customers to our store and sold pet licenses to pet owners in LaCañada Flintridge and Arcadia. But the highlight for all of us was in our adoptions department, where 8 dogs, 3 cats and 1 rabbit went to new loving homes!

Regardless of the day of the week, our staff is here to take care of the animals. Seven days a week, we rely on our capable staff to provide for the medical needs of the animals and to keep the kennels clean and disease free. Spay and neuter surgery takes place in our clinic every day, helping us end the fight against animal over population. Our animal control officers are available 24/7 for animals in distress.

We want to make it even easier to support our life-saving programs and our goal of zero euthanasia of adoptable animals.This year our events promise to be more fun and exciting than ever.

• Our annual golf and tennis tournament held at the LaCañada Country Club, Doglegs Birdies & Eagles: Get on the Ball, was sold out!
• On May19, the Pasadena Animal League will host Artistic License, a silent art auction benefit to benefit the shelter’s programs.The auction includes original artwork
and unique items inspired by our animal friends.
• In the fall, our 9th annual Wiggle Waggle Walk for the Animals is scheduled for Sunday, September 30 at Brookside Park.You don’t need a dog to participate—just
a desire to support animals in need.
The Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA is a place that works for both people and animals—and we need your support to make our community the most humane place possible.
