Frankie is a five-year-old black and tan Miniature Pinscher. He's got tons of energy, but knows how to relax. He loves to sunbathe, too! Frankie's adoption fee includes his neuter surgery, a microchip, the first set of vaccinations, as well as a free follow-up health check at a participating vet. Frankie qualifies for the Seniors for Seniors program. The adoption fee is waived for potential adopters 60 years old or older except for the $20 mandatory microchip fee. Ask an adoptions counselor for more information during your visit.
Contact the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA to ask about Frankie, or visit the Society 11am-4pm Sunday, 9am-5pm Tuesday-Friday, or 9am-4pm Saturday.

Bingo is a 7-year-old short-haired white and brown Tabby. He likes to be in the action, receive love and attention and give the same in return. He's very curious and figured out how to open the cabinets. He just wants to see what's inside, you know, to make sure there are plenty of kitty treats. His other hobby is "kitty all-star wrestling" with my brother. He would love to be adopted, so call him -- he's by the phone!Cat Connectionrescues cats and dogs from the shelters and from the streets. They provide medical and dental care, foster homes and lots of TLC until the animals are adopted. Cat Connection also advocates for spay/neuter, keeping pets inside their homes, and supports TNR (trap-neuter-release) of feral cats.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
