Deciding to Adopt

Sharing your home with a four-legged companion can be a rewarding and joyful experience. However, adopting a pet is a big decision that must be carefully considered.

Volunteering & Fostering

If you're not ready to commit to adopting an animal, you can still contribute the shelter's mission by volunteering in the shelter or fostering an animal in need of a temporary home!

Children's Programs

Bring your class, scouting group, or club to our new Pet Adoption Center to learn about companion animals, public health, and making a difference in the community.

Rescue Partners

Pasadena Animal Shelter is fortunate to work with many private, not-for-profit rescue groups that help assess, care for, and place our shelter pets in desirable homes.
