Mother bear euthanized after second attack on Monrovia residents
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has euthanized the bear that clawed a Monrovia woman walking her dog on March 14, according to City Manager Dylan Feik. The bear was confirmed by DNA to be the same bear that attacked an elderly Monrovia man sitting on his enclosed porch in June of last year. The Monrovia City Council lobbied for the bear to be relocated to the Angeles National Forest, but the decision rested with state officials. The bear's two cubs, which had been living beneath a nearby home, are healthy and will be sent to a facility before being returned to the wild.

Magical Rainbow Dust is a tiny, spunky senior chihuahua
Follow the rainbow and you might just find Rainbow Dust waiting at the end of it! This magical 15-year-old brown Chihuahua may be a tiny senior, but she's packed with spunky charm and a whole lot of personality.
Rainbow Dust is a friendly, loving little companion who adores her people and happily soaks up attention from adults and kids alike. She's house trained, enjoys short walks and little adventures throughout the day, and then happily settles inside at night to rest up for more magic tomorrow. Like many wise little leprechauns, she may be a bit shy when meeting new friends at first, but give her a little time and she warms up nicely.
If you're looking for a tiny treasure to brighten your days, Rainbow Dust is ready to sprinkle a little luck, love, and sparkle into her forever home!
If you're interested in adoption, Pasadena Humane is inviting adopters to come on out and draw their lucky, discounted adoption fee during their "Pot of Gold" promotion! This applies to all animals, including Rainbow Dust, from March 16-22.
