Pasadena Humane waives fees for senior pets in November
By Barbara Bishop,
15 hours agoPasadena Humane is waiving adoption fees for all senior dogs and cats, ages five and older, throughout November as part of National Adopt a Senior Pet Month. The promotion aims to help older animals find homes and to make it easier for families to welcome a seasoned companion.
Younger animals often draw the most attention from prospective adopters, but senior pets have a lot to offer. Many are past the most energetic stages of life, have settled personalities and daily routines, and are ready to enjoy the comforts of a home. Whether the goal is a leisurely walk around the neighborhood, a quiet afternoon on the couch, or simply a loyal companion, older pets can be a good fit for many households.
“Every pet deserves a place to call home, no matter their age,” said Chris Ramon, president and CEO of Pasadena Humane. “Senior pets have so much love and companionship to offer, and adopting one is a wonderful way to make a meaningful difference in an animal’s life while gaining a loyal friend in return.”
Every dog and cat adopted from Pasadena Humane is spayed or neutered, microchipped, and has received age-appropriate vaccinations. Adopters also receive a complimentary wellness exam with a participating veterinarian, along with a packet of pet care information.
Residents interested in adopting can view available animals at pasadenahumane.org or visit the shelter during adoption hours, which run daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The promotion runs throughout November.
Founded in 1903, Pasadena Humane describes itself as a community-supported animal resource center providing shelter, care and new beginnings for animals in the Greater Los Angeles area. Beyond adoptions and fostering, the organization runs programs intended to help people keep their pets, including free and low-cost spay and neuter services and vaccines, a pet food pantry, pet training programs, and an animal support call center. The group says it helped nearly 71,000 animals in 2025 through adoptions, wildlife rehabilitation, lost-and-found services, veterinary services, training classes, and surrender prevention assistance.
