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.

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.

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.

A Moment in Monrovia History: The Scotia Hotel, 1904
The Scotia Hotel was originally built at the Santa Fe depot by L.L. Bradbury as the Windsor Hotel, part of an effort to draw business away from "uptown" Monrovia. It wasn't successful, and the buildings were later moved uptown. When this photo was taken in November 1904, the hotel is believed to have stood at Myrtle and Walnut avenues, with horse car No. 2 out front. A fire destroyed the hotel in 1906 and prompted the city to replace a chemical cart with its second fire engine. From the Myron Hotchkiss collection. See full details here.
