Pasadena Humane will continue offering $25 dog adoptions Friday through Sunday as the shelter seeks to make room for animals arriving amid a seasonal adoption slowdown.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The adoption special applies to all dogs ages 6 months and older. Pasadena Humane said it currently has more than 450 animals in its care, including more than 150 dogs.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast Saturday was one of our busiest intake days in recent memory. In a single day, 48 animals — 33 cats and 15 dogs — came into the shelter,\u201d Pasadena Humane President and CEO Chris Ramon said. \u201cWith animals continuing to arrive every day, we need the community’s help. Adopting a dog right now not only changes that dog’s life, it creates critical space for the next animal who needs us.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Large dogs are among those most in need of adopters, according to the shelter.<\/p>\n
Pasadena Humane officials said September typically brings a slowdown in adoptions as summer vacations end, schools return to session and families settle back into work and school routines, while animals continue arriving at the shelter.<\/p>\n
