This week, three lovable pets are ready for adoption in the San Gabriel Valley area, bringing joy and companionship to potential new families. Dutchie, Tipton, and Sammy are each looking for their forever homes through local shelters, with adoption fees waived for dogs over six months until January 25, 2024.
Meet Dutchie: The Affectionate Bulldog
Dutchie, known as No. A526329, is a 2-year-old female bulldog at Pasadena Humane. She is well-mannered and loving, making her an ideal companion for families. As part of the Dog Days of Winter promotion, her adoption fee is waived, a significant saving from the regular fee of $150.
Dutchie is known for her easygoing nature. She enjoys playing fetch and then lounging with her humans, showcasing her affectionate side. This potty-trained dog is calm around children and adults, rarely barks, and can be left alone without issues. Although she may take a moment to warm up in new environments, she quickly becomes a devoted friend.
Her temporary foster family has reported that she thrives on praise and enjoys close proximity to her humans. Dutchie is available for a 10-day adoption trial, making it easy for families to see if she fits in with their lifestyle. Interested individuals can view photos and schedule an adoption appointment through the Pasadena Humane website.
Tipton: The Gentle Akita Mix
Also available for adoption is Tipton, No. A526589, a 5-year-old male Akita mix at Pasadena Humane. Known for his calm demeanor, Tipton enjoys walking and exploring the outdoors. His recent foster family describes him as thoughtful and sweet, often settling down for a nap nearby while his humans go about their day.
Tipton is housebroken and exhibits polite manners. He appreciates leisurely walks, motivated by treats, which makes training enjoyable. As a smart dog, he requires a confident and patient adopter who can establish clear boundaries while earning his trust. He, too, is available for a 10-day adoption trial, giving potential adopters a chance to see if he is the right fit for their home.
As part of the ongoing promotion, the adoption fee for dogs over six months is waived until January 25, 2024, allowing families to adopt Tipton without the usual financial commitment.
Sammy: The Sweet Cat
In addition to dogs, Lifeline for Pets features Sammy, affectionately nicknamed Sammy Sweetheart. This gentle feline is looking for a loving home where he can share his affectionate personality. Sammy is known for his friendly demeanor, often following his humans around and offering quiet companionship.
He particularly enjoys playful interactions, such as lying down during sweeping sessions, adding joy to everyday chores. Sammy would thrive best in a home where he can be adopted with one of his siblings, including Ollie, Rocky, or Dottie, all of whom are also seeking their forever homes.
For those interested in adopting Sammy or any of his siblings, applications can be submitted through the Lifeline for Pets website.
Adoption appointments at both Pasadena Humane and Lifeline for Pets are by appointment only, with new slots available at 10 a.m. on Sundays and Wednesdays. Walk-in hours are offered daily from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Potential adopters are encouraged to check the respective websites for the latest availability and to view photos of the adoptable pets.
Connecting with a furry friend can change lives, offering companionship and joy. With several pets available for adoption in the San Gabriel Valley, now is the perfect time to consider welcoming a new member into your family.
