      Animal lovers looking to brighten their holiday season have a special opportunity this year.

      By News Desk

      Pasadena Humane is launching its Home for the Holidays adoption promotion, running December 14–31, with waived adoption fees for large dogs (40 lbs. and over) and cats one year and older.

      This festive initiative is made possible through the generosity of the Pet Care Foundation, with support from a grant by the Georgia B. Ridder Foundation. To make the season even sweeter, Chewy will provide expanded Care Packages for adopters—including Kismet treats, a cozy bed, two toys, bowls, and a matching leash and collar set for dogs.

      Why the Holidays Are the Perfect Time to Adopt

      The holiday season is all about warmth, connection, and togetherness. With families gathering and routines slowing down, adopters have more time to help pets settle into their new homes. Whether it’s curling up on a chilly evening or joining in festive celebrations, a furry companion can make every moment more meaningful.

      Adoption Benefits

      Every adoption at Pasadena Humane includes:

      • Spay or neuter surgery
      • Microchip
      • Age‑appropriate vaccinations
      • Complimentary wellness exam with a partner veterinarian
      • A packet of helpful pet care information

      Standard adoption procedures apply, and licensing fees may be required depending on the adopter’s location.
