Meet Wizard, a 9-year-old German Shepherd with a little magic up his sleeve! His special powers include making friends wherever he goes, turning long walks into leisurely “sniffaris”, and transforming any cozy spot into the perfect place for a nap.
Wizard is an easygoing gentleman who loves people, appreciates a good ear scratch, and is always happy to join you for a car ride or a little adventure. This senior boy is just as content curling up at your feet as he is exploring the world by your side. Think Wizard sounds like the magic missing from your life? You can adopt this sweet senior for free throughout November in celebration of Adopt a Senior Pet Month at Pasadena Humane.
The adoption fee for dogs is $150. All dog adoptions include spay or neuter, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccines.
Walk-in adoptions are available every day from 9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. View photos of adoptable pets at pasadenahumane.org.
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.
