Pets of the Week: Darwin & Quinn
Meet Darwin! He is a an adorable and handsome longhair juvenile rabbit with unbelievably soft tan and white fur. He is a happy and friendly rabbit who loves to be held and petted. He is litter box trained. Rabbits are great companions but do require special care. If you are new to rabbits, do a bit of research before adopting and speak with a counselor at Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA before adopting. Darwin’s adoption fee is $30, which includes his neuter surgery, a microchip, the first set of vaccinations, as well as a free follow-up health check at a participating vet.
This is Quinn, a gorgeous three-year-old tan Siamese. If you are looking for a calm and mellow companion, Quinn is your lady. She also enjoys being held. Quinn’s adoption fee is $70 and includes her spay surgery, a microchip, the first set of vaccinations, as well as a free follow-up health check at a participating vet.
Darwin and Quinn are available for adoption from the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA. When you support the Pasadena Humane Society, you help animals in Arcadia, Glendale, La Cañada Flintridge, Pasadena, San Marino, Sierra Madre and South Pasadena. The Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA is not part of any national animal organization.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
