Pets of the Week: Frankie & Bingo
Look at that sweet face! Photo by Pasadena Humane Society.
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.
