Lilac has been out for a number of outings, and she has been a model citizen. She has represented the shelter at a mobile event where she met tons of people and showed off her training. She’s also been on a field trip and had a wonderful time- nothing seems to faze this sweet girl.
Lilac the social butterfly is always excited to meet people to get pets, and she likes it even more when they want to give her a belly rub. She is a world-class snuggler and is very happy to let you give her attention until she blissfully falls asleep.

Nola has turned into a bit of a star at Pasadena Humane. She has gone on a number of field trips with the volunteers because she is so easy-going. She likes hiking, car rides and just hanging out in the park on a sunny day. She has also been put to work by one of the trainers to demonstrate how to teach training cues.
Nola is only three years old, which puts her right in that sweet spot of playful energy mixed with a nice calm demeanor. She can’t wait to be the star of your home!
