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.

About Our Department

Our goal is to place shelter pets in loving, forever homes. With your help, we can.
