Pets of the Week: Shannon the Striking Husky and Albert the Polydactyl Cat

The week is halfway through, so it's time to start planning this weekend's events. I'd like to encourage everyone to take some time out to visit the Pasadena Humane Society or San Gabriel Valley Humane Society this weekend.

Every week, we feature one pet from each shelter. Since there are so many pets in need of a home, you might just find that by visiting in person you'll connect with the special one who is meant to be yours. If you're thinking about adding a new member to your family -- or even if you're not -- come by either shelter to see if you find a connection with a loving and adorable pet.

Good news for , he was adopted from the Pasadena Humane Society last week.

Sweet is still waiting for you to welcome her to your family.

Meet Shannon, a beautiful, three year old husky mix. She is excited to meet her new owner who will give her a good home. She is very active and needs a home where she will receive plenty of attention and exercise. She would prefer a backyard to run free in, and would also enjoy being your walking or running exercise buddy. Shannon is very smart and would love to take a training class as well. Come visit with her today!

The regular dog adoption fee is $120, which includes medical care prior to adoption, spaying or neutering, vaccinations, and a follow-up visit with a participating vet.

Pasadena Humane Society is a private non-profit animal welfare agency that has contracted with seven area cities, including Sierra Madre, to provide animal control services. 

Meet Albert, a very special feline. Among the many things that make Albert so unique is that he is polydactyl. This means that he has six toes on every paw. Albert is a sweet cat who likes to purr, and he loves to snuggle up in your arms and is content to stay there. He would prefer a quiet home and would love to have an older owner to keep company as he sits on you while you read or enjoy your favorite television show. Come and visit him at the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society today. He's waiting to meet you!

The regular cat adoption fee is $99, and includes a spay or neutering, basic FRCP vaccinations, deworming, FIV/FELV/Heartworm test, and a Microchip.
