Calm and loving Nila looking for quiet and cozy home
Nila is a gentle, wise, and oh-so-sweet senior German Shepherd looking for a loving home to spend her golden years. This 8-year-old sweetheart may have a little grayer on her muzzle, but her heart is as full of love as ever!
Nila is all about the simple joys in life—soft beds, belly rubs, and leisurely strolls where she can sniff to her heart’s content. She’s got a calm and loving nature, always happy to be by your side, whether it’s for a lazy afternoon nap or just keeping you company while you read or watch TV.
This lovely gal is the definition of a loyal companion. She’ll listen to all your stories, greet you with a happy tail wag, and remind you daily how special senior dogs truly are. She’s looking for a quiet, cozy home where she can be spoiled with love, gentle scratches, and maybe even a few extra treats.
If you’re searching for a sweet, soulful best friend who will bring warmth and love into your life, Nila is ready to fill that spot. Could you be her perfect match?
Nila’s age makes her eligible for Pasadena Humane’s Seniors for Seniors Program. Her adoption fee is waived for any adopter over the age of 60!

Long Unmarked Graves of Two Extraordinary African American Women to be Marked
A program highlighting the lives and legacies of Anna H. Jones and Dr. Sophia B. Jones, will be held on Saturday, May 3 beginning with a program and luncheon at 11 a.m. at Second Baptist Church, 925 S. Shamrock Ave., followed by the dedication of their grave markers at 3 p.m. at Live Oak Memorial Park. The event and luncheon are free and open to the public. Please RSVP by April 25 to (626) 664-6537 or spicerbatice@gmail.com.
These sisters, born in the 1850s, were pioneers in education and medicine, overcoming racial and gender barriers. Yet their stories are barely known here.
Sophia was equally determined but focused on the medical field. Denied admission because of her race to the medical school at the University of Toronto, where she earned an undergraduate degree, she pursued her dream in the U.S., in 1885 becoming the first African American woman to graduate from the University of Michigan Medical School. She became the first Black female faculty member at Spelman College in Atlanta, establishing its nursing program. She went on to teach at Wilberforce University, serve at Frederick Douglass Hospital, and publish influential work on public health. She, too, spent her final years at the family home on South Shamrock. Both operated in the highest circles of elite Black activists. Their close friend W.E.B. Du Bois, co-founder of the NAACP, marked each of their passings in his national magazine, The Crisis.
Their stories underscore perseverance, scholarship, and activism. This gathering will celebrate their achievements and reveal little-known aspects of their roles in shaping higher education and medicine. All are invited to learn more about these extraordinary women and witness the dedication of newly placed grave markers honoring them at Live Oak Memorial Park.
Sponsors: Second Baptist Church, Monrovia ChangeMakers, Monrovia Historical Society, Monrovia Historical Museum, Monrovia Historic Preservation Group, Monrovia Duarte Black Alumni Association, Anna H. Jones Club, Live Oak Cemetery, Randy Montgomery & Valley Monument.
