The fee waiver is being offered thanks to the sponsorship of the Mericos Foundation, and aims to highlight the benefits of adopting older pets.
"Senior pets tend to be calmer, often house-trained, and ready to settle in right away -- but what really sets them apart is their capacity for love," Pasadena Humane President and CEO Chris Ramon said. "They may be older, but they have just as much love to give. In return, you'll gain an affectionate, devoted companion."
All dogs and cats available for adoption are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and have received age-appropriate vaccinations. New adopters will also receive a complimentary wellness exam with a partner veterinarian, along with a packet of information on pet care.
Throughout November anyone interested in meeting adoptable senior pets is encouraged to visit pasadenahumane.org or visit the shelter during adoptions hours daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
