At Pasadena Animal Shelter, we care about people and pets. In fact, we assist more than 7,000 animals annually. So if you need us, or if you know of an animal that needs us, help is just a phone call away at 281-991-0602. As a function of the Pasadena Public Health Department, preventing the spread of disease is our number one mission. But we strive to achieve so much more. Our goal is to ensure that every pet we encounter stays in--or finds-- a loving home. Educating pet owners and potential pet owners ensures that loving home lasts for the lifetime of the cat or dog. Being a pet owner is a serious responsibility. Pet owners need to provide regular veterinary care, shelter, opportunities for exercise, quality food, mental stimulation, routine vaccinations, training, city licenses, and more. Sure, it seems like a lot. But really? It's a small price to pay for unconditional love. To view all of our adoptable dogs and cats, please visit www.pasadenashelter.petfinder.com. If you have questions about an animal, please email us at [email protected] or call us at 731-920-7942. We do not reply to questions or comments posed on social media. Adoptions are currently handled by appointment only. Our Cats and Kittens have their own page please visit it and "Like" and "Share" the page to help us find homes for them as well. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pasadena-Shelter-Cats/1409379516001864

This mama just gave birth to eight puppies, and they're only TWO WEEKS OLD. She's struggling to care for her babies in the stressful shelter environment, and time is critical.

These little ones are incredibly vulnerable. Their immune systems aren't fully developed, putting them at serious risk while they're here.

Momma and her babies desperately need a safe, quiet place where they can get the care and protection they deserve. Please share, tag rescues, and help us get this little family to safety! 💔

✨ Long Stay Spotlight: Cooper ✨

How is this 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐫 still waiting for a home?! Cooper was surrendered by his family due to health issues they were facing, and through no fault of his own, he now finds himself waiting for a fresh start.

This handsome guy loves his toys and is 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬, 𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐬. 𝐇𝐞'𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧!

Cooper has already waited long enough. He deserves a family to love him through his golden years. Could you be the one he's been waiting for?

WHO WANTS A BIG OL’ MEATBALL TO LOVE? Meet Hudson! 💙

This handsome boy was found wandering behind an apartment complex, and he's been stealing hearts ever since! He was a good boy when our Animal Control Officer picked him up, happily walking on leash, and he's been just as sweet here at the shelter. 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐟𝐟 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐦! He's friendly, laid-back, and seems like a smart boy who could learn so much.

But kennel life is starting to wear on him, and we don't want him getting overlooked. 𝐇𝐔𝐃𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐈𝐒 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐔𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓 🚨. Please give this sweet meatball a chance!

11/3/26 UPDATE: Pony Boy's in a foster home and still available for adoption!!! Huge thanks to the foster and all who shared this post 🥳🎉.

💔 I thought my owner was coming back for me…

Hi, I’m Pony Boy. I was found wandering the streets, lost and scared. 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐚 𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐩, but when the shelter contacted my owner... nobody came, nobody called, and nobody wanted me back.

Now I'm so stressed that I bark and react when people come near. But I'm not like this once I'm outside. I just need someone patient to give me a chance.

But I'm on the 𝐔𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓 🚨. I lost my home, the person I knew, and everything familiar. Please don't let me lose my chance at ever being loved again...

- Pony Boy

CUTEST SMILE AWARD GOES TO… NUGGET! 🏆

Nugget is a 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞, 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐲𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 who LOVES people, playing with toys, and soaking up attention. He's 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝, wonderfully behaved, and was such a good boy during his exams!

But 𝐍𝐔𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐔𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓 🚨. He does have some skin and ear issues that need care, but he deserves someone willing to help him feel his very best. Could that be you?

Sissy put on her pearls, hoping someone would finally notice her! 🥹

This pretty girl first came to us as a tiny puppy over two years ago, found a home, and now she's 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐧𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧.

She loves exploring, running, chasing squirrels, and is reportedly 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐬, 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬. 𝐒𝐡𝐞'𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧! But kennel life is taking its toll, and SISSY IS ON THE 𝐔𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓! 🚨

She didn't get all dolled up just to be overlooked again. Please help Sissy find the forever home she's been waiting for!
