King: a Stellar Dog
King (A451811) is one stellar dog. This 8-year-old Shepherd mix is an easy going, calm guy. He enjoys attention from everyone he meets. He walks well on leash and already knows training commands including "sit" and "shake." Plus, he got along great with both small and large dogs on a shelter field trip. King is looking for an owner who can help him lose weight under the guidance of a veterinarian. He came to Pasadena Humane via Redlands Animals Shelter where he had been waiting for a new home since October of last year. Let's hope he finds one real soon.
The adoption fee for dogs is $130. All dogs are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated before going to their new home. King qualifies for our Seniors for Seniors program, waiving his adoption fee for adopters age 60 and over.
New adopters will receive a complimentary health-and-wellness exam from VCA Animal Hospitals, as well as a goody bag filled with information about how to care for your pet.

Vanilla is Adoptable
Vanilla (A409032) is a 2-year-old guinea pig searching for a new home. She came to PHS when her owner moved to a new place that does not allow pets. They report she's a very cuddly girl. Vanilla loves to be petted (except under her chin) and sit in your lap. Her favorite snacks include cilantro and grape tomatoes. Vanilla needs regular nail trims and was a frequent visitor to the Pasadena Humane Society Nail Trimming Clinic.
The adoption fee for guinea pigs is $10. Stop by our Shelter Shop on the way home to get your guinea pig pellets, treats and timothy hay.

Monrovia's SuitBots Raising Funds to Attend Super Regionals
As they did last year, Monrovia High School's SuitBots robotics team has again qualified to attend the Super Regionals, and needs money to get there. Miriam Childers, Monrovia Robotics Volunteer Coordinator, said the team participated in the Championship, among 50 of the top Southern California teams, 10 of which advanced to Super Regionals. At the Championship the SuitBots robot had connectivity issues throughout the morning, but they were able to fix it by semi-finals time, where they shined. She said, "These kids show true resilience, never giving up, working the problems and giving it their all. They ended up medaling, earning the Connect Award."
