Pet of the 
Week 

 
November is Adopt 
a Senior Pet Month 
and 8-year-old Aguila 
(A444215) is a brown 
german shepherd, who is 
hoping to find her forever 
home. If you want a dog to 
greet you happily when you 
get home from work, Aguila 
is your girl. She comes right 
up to the front of her kennel 
when volunteers, staff, and 
visitors come by. She has 
a lot of energy and gets 
excited when it’s time for a 
walk. If you’re looking for 
an active, but older dog, 
Aguila might be your new 
friend! 

 The adoption fee for dogs 
is $130. All dogs are spayed 
or neutered, microchipped, 
and vaccinated before going 
to their new home. Aguila 
qualifies for our Seniors for 
Seniors program, making 
her adoption free for 
adopters 60 and over.

 New adopters will receive a 
complimentary health-andwellness 
exam from VCA 
Animal Hospitals, as well 
as a goody bag filled with 
information about how to 
care for your pet.

Society & SPCA at (626)

City Receives

Bicycle

Safety Grant

 The City has received 
a $112,000 state grant 
to enhance its safety 
efforts for bicyclists. The 
Pasadena Department of 
Transportation will use the 
money as part of its Safer 
Streets Pasadena–Bicycle 
Safety Outreach Program 
in a year-long bicycle safety 
outreach program aimed to 
help reduce severe injuries 
and fatalities to bicyclists 
resulting from crashes.

 As part of the grant, the 
department’s Safer Streets 
Pasadena–Bicycle Safety 
Outreach Program will 
expand the City’s “Ride 
Right. Ride Bright” Bicycle 
Safety Campaign. Street 
teams will distribute 1,000 
sets of bicycle headlights 
and tail lights as well as 
300 bicycle helmets. In 
addition, the bicycle 
safety campaign will allow 
for targeted outreach to 
groups that use a bicycle 
as a primary mode of 
transportation.

 Grant funding comes 
from the California Office 
of Traffic Safety through the
