Pasadena Humane is promoting its Home for the Holidays campaign through December 31, waiving adoption fees for large dogs like Achilles, a calm and gentle 4-year-old German shepherd, and Elmer, a playful and affectionate 3-year-old white pit bull terrier. Both dogs are described as loving companions who respond well to training and enjoy human interaction, making them ideal pets for families seeking loyal friends this holiday season. Adoption includes spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccines, with appointments available online.

Additionally, Lifeline for Pets offers Morticia, a soft-spoken and playful kitten rescued as a newborn, who is part of a trio of siblings looking for forever homes. Morticia is described as a sweet and gentle companion, perfect for those wanting a loving and goofy feline friend. Interested adopters can view available pets and schedule visits through the respective organizations’ websites.
