Baby
is the name he had when he came to this place.
Seems his owner dropped him off here, but not
because of anything Baby ever did. You know
human-stuff is the worst enemy for dogs... the first
little blip in the road, and the pets are often the
first thing overboard. SO Foolish, as the family
pet is the ONE entity that would stick by you
through thick and thin, and offer so much comfort
through the hard times. Nevertheless, Baby is
another statistic who sits in Kennel 43, quite
certain his family is coming back. This precious
dog appears to us to be a Collie/Australian Shepherd
mix. He is about 4 years old and neutered.
He needs a family
who will stick by HIM, no matter what other
circumstances life brings about! He would never
forsake his family, and he's looking for one with
the same commitment. Please adopt this beautiful,
very sweet & gentle dog today. He's good on leash,
and even better on giving affection! There's not a
sweeter dog in the shelter!!
Available from Pasadena Animal Rescue.

BARNEY
Barney
is listed as a Beagle mix in Kennel #06. He's
a handsome, tri-colored, well-behaved young fellow
who is very good on leash. He's the perfect size
for playing fetch in the yard or playing dead on the
couch with you while watching TV! =) Barney was
found lost on the streets, but because of his
friendly, affectionate demeanor we know he had a
family somewhere along the line. Please give him
the gift of life and of a happy home again! He's
adorable!!

BEN
Ben is the
largest of the litter, and quite possibly, the
gentlest, too! Gentle Ben! =) Of the three pups,
he most favors his Basset Mom with his short
muscular legs and elongated body! He's a strong
boy, but still the 'fraidy cat' of the bunch! He's
slow moving, very affectionate, and not very
adventurous.. just a big ole cuddle bug who will
wrestle with his litter-mates and run after the cat,
but he's just as happy to simply enjoy his chew toy
in peace! Is Ben your kind of dog?? He's not yet
ready to go home with you, but you can send in an
application for when he is!
Bonnie and
Clyde are thought to be siblings. They were dumped
together near a business that had kind people who
began to feed the pair, and even had the female
spayed!! But, then the law swooped in and hauled
them away as 'stray dogs.' The business owner
spoke with his friend about getting the pair off of
death row, and that's just what they did! So, now,
Bonnie and Clyde are in a half-way house and
receiving instruction and guidance about how to
start their lives over and become productive members
of society! The vet thinks they are
approximately 9 months old, and there are varying
opinions about what their heritage is...maybe
Rottweiler mixes or maybe Doberman mixes... but,
does it really matter?? These are young,
beautiful, and loving dogs who have been given a
chance at life, period! They are good with other
dogs, and even the cat - although the cat is an
important part of that peace - he's just not
impressed with dogs at all, and that takes all the
fun out of it for the dog! =) These two are being
leash-trained, house-trained and are doing pretty
well on both projects!
They
have been fully vaccinated, both altered
(spayed/neutered) and are receiving regular
heartworm prevention. Bonnie and Clyde would
really like to stay together for life, but we all
know that may not be how it happens. It would be
wonderful, but if you are interested in just one of
them, please apply for that one. They need to find
their forever homes and get settled in for life.
And you don't want to miss a day of that!
BOOGIE
Boogie
is a Chihuahua mix little guy of about 2 years of age. He
gets along fine with the other Chi's in the foster home, but
he did try to bully them a bit at first. He's over that now
and is learning to play with toys and share his chew
sticks. He's OK with cats if they don't arch, hiss and
run...he will give chase if they do that; but, a cat who is
accustomed to dogs and doesn't run is just sniffed and left
alone. Boogie sleeps with his foster parents and they say,
"he's a Bed Hog!" He loves to be held and will eat as many
baby carrots as you hand out. The foster Mom said when he
first arrived, she thought he was doing a lot of growling,
but has come to realize that the sound is just Boogie Talk!
He's very vocal and has a lot to say! This little guy is
full of personality and needs a loving home to call his
own. He's housetrained, fully vaccinated, neutered and was
heartworm free when we got him! He receives regular monthly
heartworm prevention. Boogie is a good boy - don't let
your opportunity to share life with him pass you by! Apply

These three pups came from a
rescued Basset who was injured
by a car. The Basset's name is
Dixie and she gave birth to
these puppies on November 20th,
2011. So, these pictures are at
about the seven-week mark! As
you can see, the puppies are
very healthy and are going to be
fairly large adults. They have
been wormed, and the first round
of puppy shots have been
administered. The Foster Mom is
already housetraining them,
too!
They will not be
available for adoption until
they have completed all their
vaccines and have been altered;
but, we want the families who
will ultimately adopt these
puppies to have a look now; and
if you are really serious, you
may go ahead and apply now for
your choice(s) - all the while
keeping in mind that it will be
probably another 6 weeks or
so before they will be eligible
for actual adoption. We will
try to keep updated pictures
posted for each pup!

In the photos of the three of
them together, they are: (left

Lizzy,
Ben and
Dixon. Lizzy being the only
female. =) Ben and Dixon
appear almost twins in the
photos, but they really are
quite different in body
structure and in personality.
I tell them apart by looking for
Dixon's white-tipped ears!
Even if you aren't interested in
adopting, you will enjoy looking

Charlie
is a happy-go-lucky, precious little
guy who has NO idea that he's at all
different. Well, of course, he knows
he's Special, but different??? No
Way! Despite his amputated front
leg, Charlie can do any and
everything any other dog can do!
This Darling is thought to be a Rat
Terrier mix and he weighs
approximately 10 pounds. He's
about 10 months old, and has been
fully vaccinated, neutered, and kept
on regular, monthly heartworm
prevention. His leg had been
evaluated by at several vets, and
the decision NOT to amputate was
made after those
consultations. However, after one of
his flying leaps from on high, he
bruised it badly enough that an
Orthopedic vet suggested it was
probably an ongoing issue, if we
didn't amputate the leg now. So,
Charlie has now had surgery and we
have a couple of after-surgery
pictures so far. Charlie is getting
around fine already since he didn't
use the leg for support, anyway.
He hardly misses it! He's
beautifully leash trained, and looks
forward to his walks! He's
housetrained to wee-wee pads, but
much prefers to wait and go outside!
He's energetic and needs plenty of
chew bones and at least one
like-sized playmate to run and
frolic with to expend some of that
energy. Still, as busy as he is,
Charlie is as sweet as pie, Loves to
cuddle and gives THE sweetest kisses
you can imagine. If this special
little guy sounds like someone you
could fall in love with, please
apply to adopt him today! If you
think he's cute in these pictures,
you should just see him in person!

DARCY & BODI
Darcy
and Bodi are siblings. After her
rescuer trapped the Mom, they were
discovered in a den that she had
built to keep them safe from
predators. She (now named "Annie")
had been living in the woods and
doing her best to feed herself and
her babies. The rescuer had been
feeding her, but did not realize
that she had recently had puppies
until after the Mom was trapped. So,
now, Darcy and Bodi will soon be 3
months old and have had the very
best of care from their rescuer.
They have both been wormed, given
their puppy vaccinations, altered,
socialized with other dogs, and
housetrained. The
rescuer even had a DNA test run on
them and discovered that their
heritage is large dogs of all kinds!
=) Bodi, a male, is the larger of
the two and will probably top out at
55 - 60 pounds. Darcy, the dainty
girl, will most likely be around
45-50 pounds. These puppies who had
NO chance at a decent life at all
are, instead, ready for adoption
into good homes. They can be
separated, but finding a single home
would be great, too. Keep in mind
that while they have had all the
advantages that humans can afford
them, they are still puppies; and,
not knowing about all our human
rules, will chew, dig, and play
rough! They will also steal your
heart, cuddle with you on the couch,
protect you with all their might and
bring more love and joy into your
life than you can possibly imagine.
