Pasadena Humane

To lead the way toward a compassionate and caring community for all animals. Pasadena Humane is a donor-supported, nonprofit organization that provides animal care and services for homeless and owned animals in the Greater Los Angeles Area. For more than 117 years, we’ve promoted compassion and care for all animals through lifesaving programs and services to the community that support the human-animal bond and keep pets healthy and safe. In 2020, we had a combined 91.5% live release rate for dogs, cats and critters and saved 100% of healthy and safe animals. Services include: Lost & Found Animal Care & Control Owner Assistance Shelter Shop Health & Wellness Pet Training Licensing Wildlife Pasadena Humane was founded in 1903 by a local Methodist group as “The Pasadena Humane Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and Dumb Animals.” Like many turn of the century humane societies, Pasadena Humane worked to ensure the humane treatment of draft animals, as well as rescuing and rehoming orphaned and abused children. Companion animals gradually replaced working animals as Pasadena Humane’s main focus, as working horses were retired in favor of modern machines. In 1914, we purchased the property where today’s shelter is located on Raymond Avenue. The oldest building at our shelter dates back to 1929 and is located behind the modern-day dog kennels. The historic building on Raymond Avenue, which currently houses our adoptions office and animal resource center was completed in 1932, and provided a source of employment to local families during the Great Depression. In the post-war years, Pasadena Humane expanded its number of dog kennels, built new cat housing and additional storage facilities. In 1984, Pasadena Humane was recognized as a Cultural Heritage Landmark by the City of Pasadena. The shelter remained essentially untouched until a major renovation was completed in the mid-90s, which greatly expanded onsite animal capacity in a park-like setting and created a dedicated space for humane education activities. In 2014, Pasadena Humane doubled in size with the opening of the Animal Care Center. This new campus includes a low-cost public spay/neuter clinic, behavior and training center, updated dog boarding kennels and expanded retail store. In 2015, the Neely Cat Center and Critter House opened, providing cats, rabbits and other critters an inviting, dedicated space of their own. With campus renovations complete, attention has turned to program development. In the last five years, Pasadena Humane has adopted progressive sheltering practices focused on increasing adoptions, saving the lives of more animals and helping guardians keep their pets.

Messages can be sent as a push notification or delivered as email and/or text message. Your choice, your settings customized by you. SOLUTIONS Dogs with Behavioral IssuesThe majority of dog behavioral issues can be resolved with increased exercise, so more walks can often mean a better-behaved pooch. Small DogsMany small dogs can’t “hold it” for a full work day, let alone if you have a happy hour or late meeting tacked on at the end of the day! That’s why many small dogs should really get regular midday walks, even if their energy levels aren’t that high. High Energy DogsDogs differ in the amount of activity that they need per day. My 10 month old Goldendoodle needs far more energy outlets than my friend’s 9 year old Pug. If you’ve got a young or active dog, hiring a dog walker is money well spent. Seniors or PuppiesDogs at the beginning and ends of their lives also aren’t as skilled at “holding it” throughout the day. Puppies in the midst of potty training really benefit from getting walks every few hours. Not giving your young puppy enough potty breaks is a great way to really prolong the potty-training process. No one wants that! Older dogs often start to lose control of their bladders, particularly if they have any of a wide variety of medical problems that manifest in bladder issues. More walks can save your dog some dignity and help prevent accidents.

There I enjoyed the experience of handling many different breeds of animals. My experience in a professional setting will guarantee your fur baby’s care and safety. I believe that pets make the world go round! Without them life would be boring. They’re all unique and deserve our undivided attention.

Vet Villa Animal Hospital

The best care for your best friend. Vet Villa Animal Hospital was opened in July 2018 by Rebecca Swimmer, who was named a Top Doctor by Pasadena Magazine. Dr. Swimmer’s purpose in opening Vet Villa was to take her knowledge, experience, and passion for caring for animals to provide the best pet care for the community. She has degrees in Animal Science at the University of Illinois, as well as a Master’s Degree in Neurobiology from Harvard, and veterinary school at Tufts. She moved to California to intern at the Animal Specialty & Emergency Center and worked in overnight emergency for several years, which made her a strong doctor who still takes emergency cases and provides stabilization. Transitioning to general practice allowed her the freedom to get to know the animals and watch them grow through all stages in life. “Our aim is to be the best veterinary clinic in the Pasadena region, where our expertise and equipment are situated in a peaceful environment where pets will feel good. We strive both to provide the best care, and for visits to feel tranquil and enjoyable for our patients.” Dr. Swimmer personally designed Vet Villa with her husband, a theme park designer who owns the business next door, to have a beautiful layout and flow. The interior of the animal hospital is bright and airy, with calming blue accents that animals respond well to, so patients will feel welcome. Soft jazz and classical music are played throughout the animal hospital, and the individual patient rooms are designed for patient comfort, with adjustable lighting and call buttons. Vet Villa Animal Hospital has state-of-the-art equipment including x-ray machines, ultrasound, and an advanced monitoring system that gives complete chemistry, blood count, coagulation, urine analysis, and urine sediment profiles. It also has an in-house laboratory and pharmacy. Oxygen is also available right in the examination rooms, so that animals needing oxygen support can spend time with their pet parents without having to be kept in an impersonal oxygen chamber in a back room. The veterinary clinic offers one of the array of services in the Pasadena area, including: – basic wellness such as puppy and kitten exams, vaccines, and nail trims; – general practice surgeries, including bladder surgeries, spay and neuter, and dentistry; – an experienced staff of doctors and animal technicians, including a cardiologist who visits frequently; – access to additional veterinary specialists and surgeons in the Pasadena region to refer patients to when necessary. Vet Villa is a woman-run, family-owned business with prices that are affordable and honest. The staff won’t try to upsell you on any “treatments” that your pet won’t really need. Vet Villa accepts all types of pet insurance. Find them at:2140 Huntington Drive, South Pasadena, CA 91030(626) 799-5900info@vetvilla.comhttps://www.vetvilla.com/Instagram

Awwdorable Pets

We pamper your four-legged family members. Your pets deserve no less! Awwdorable Pets is a Latinx-owned business based in South Pasadena offering pet care services including pet sitting, pet feeding, drop-in service, dog walking, and individual, small-dog boarding. With feline and canine family members of our own, we are committed to treating your pet(s) as well as our own. Established in 2014, Julia started Awwdorable Pets as a business after having served individual families for decades. Currently, Julia is studying animal behavior through the IAABC which includes the forensics of canine aggression, and the foundation of animal behavior consultancy. She is also the first independent pet care business owner in the area to be a Fear Free™️ certified pet sitter and dog walker and certifies her staff. We are always learning and devoted to providing more knowledgeable care through additional training and certifications. Does your dog need quality care while you’re at work? We offer drop-in services like Let Outs to provide your dog(s) the opportunity to go outside in your backyard to relieve themselves during long days when you’re at work. Although dogs can hold their pee (if healthy) for long periods of time, it’s not necessarily good for their health to wait so many hours. Just because they can doesn’t mean that they should. We recommend one to two or more drop-in services during the day if you’re out for 4 or more hours. We double-check on water refills, provide plenty of belly rubs, and positive interactions, and provide play-based activities for your sweet pup(s). We also offer Feed + Walk services too. Awwdorable Pets provides dog walking services and will work with you to find the right type for your dog from our catalog of services. We take into consideration the dog’s age, personality, medical issues, routine, and emotional well-being to provide enrichment-filled walks. Dog walks are an essential activity for the well-being of your dog, not only because of the exercise but also for his/her mental enhancement. Dog walks help reduce fear, anxiety, and or stress a dog may experience when separated from you. Walks may also help strengthen the dog’s ability to interact with non-family members and provide him/her with loving companionship. Do you prefer keeping your pet in the comfort of your home while you’re away? Awwdorable Pets offers several types of pet-sitting services to match your family’s preferences. We provide enrichment, care, and companionship for your pets while in the comfort of their home and work to reduce any fear, anxiety, or stress they may feel during your absence. Trusted by the local SoCal community, Awwdorable Pets is committed to providing your pet with a calming experience at home. Knowledgeable in sensory-enriched care, Awwdorable Pets engages in sensory-based care like food routines, toy-based play, habitat awareness and change, and cognitive and sensory activities for mental exercise. We purposefully learn about your pet’s habits and routines, personality, and other information during the registration process to provide quality care while you’re away. We don’t cut corners because we know how important it is to get the information that only you know about your pet(s). A professional pet care service business, Awwdorable Pets is committed to covering important details that we need to know about your pets for better care. Pet Support Julia works with credentialed Fear Free™️ animal behavior consultants if she identifies pets that may need additional behavioral support to set the pet up for success. We believe in a collaborative approach to pet care and understand that pets may not be ready for services, and we will not force an animal into a service that is too stressful for their well-being. Our first and most important charge is your pet’s well-being, and that is the focus of every visit with your beloved pets. Sensing any kind of behavior concerns, we will immediately bring them to your attention for further support. We are delighted to chat with you – please visit our website and fill out the form on the Contact Us page and we’ll get in touch with you to learn more about your pet care needs and of course, beloved pets. We absolutely love serving the Awwdorable Pets community and can’t wait to meet you and your pets!
