Pasadena Humane is waiving adoption fees for dogs 40 pounds or more through December 31st. This initiative aims to find forever homes for shelter dogs in time for the Rose Parade.
It isn't all that unusual to come across an adorable animal romping in a garden, the sort of sunny stretch that is filled with shrubs, butterflies, and all sorts of flowers. But a related sight that is rather more rare? A huge, flower-covered vehicle devoted to dogs, cats, and the cute critters that need a forever home.
The 2025 float, movingly dubbed 'Welcome Home,' is being prepared in the weeks ahead of the world-famous event, but there's a way you can play an important role in the float's mission well before the parade begins: Meeting a new forever friend at the Raymond Avenue animal center. If you adopt a dog that is 40 pounds or more through Dec. 31, Pasadena Humane will waive the fees. Roses may smell sweet, but this kind-hearted push to place pups with loving people is about as sweet as sweet things get. Your cutie will be microchipped and spayed or neutered; all of the 'age-appropriate vaccines' will have been administered, too, before you whisk your hound home. The animal center shares the fact that the majority of Pasadena Humane's canine residents are large dogs. 'With the holidays upon us, there's no better time to give a shelter dog the gift of a forever home,' said Dia DuVernet, Pasadena President & CEO. 'Our hope is that all of our big dogs will be watching the Rose Parade from the comfort of their new families' living rooms.
