Pet of the 
Week 

 
Special Love: Curly 
(A448859) is a sweet 
12-year-old poodle looking 
for a forever home. This 
calm and friendly senior 
guy is a bit down on his luck. 
He came to the Pasadena 
Humane Society because 
his owner could no longer 
care for him. They report 
Curly is housebroken, likes 
lots of attention, big pillows 
and car rides. Curly is 
suffering from some health 
issues and will need further 
veterinary treatment. If 
you’d like to learn more 
about Curly, stop by and 
speak to an adoptions 
counselor today. 

 The adoption fee for dogs 
is $130. All dogs are spayed 
or neutered, microchipped, 
and vaccinated before going 
to their new home. Curly 
qualifies for our Seniors for 
Seniors program, making 
his 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.

 Call the Pasadena Humane 
Society & SPCA at (626) 
792-7151 to ask about 
A448859, or visit at 361 S. 
Raymond Ave. in Pasadena. 
Adoption hours are 11 a.m. 
to 4 p.m. Sunday; 9 a.m. 
to 5 p.m. Tuesday through 
Friday; and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
