News-Press Pet of the Day: Augustine

Augustine is a fun-loving, 7-year-old, neutered, male catahoula/pit bull mix. Augustine came to the Pasadena Humane Society underweight. But with consistent meals and a lot of love, he’s now back to a healthy size.

Augustine has a goofball personality that has endeared him to staff and volunteers. Out on the society’s mobile unit, he gets along well with dogs of all sizes, but has a special fondness for Lily (A400517), a 3-year-old pit bull.

The adoption fee for dogs is $125, which includes the spay or neuter surgery, microchip and vaccinations. Augustine qualifies for the Seniors for Seniors program, which waives the adoption fee for adopters 60 years old and older. The mandatory $20 microchip fee still applies.

New adopters will receive a complimentary health-and-wellness exam from VCA Animal Hospitals, as well as a goody bag filled with information about how to care for a pet.

Call the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA at (626) 792-7151 to ask about A398279 or visit at 361 S. Raymond Ave. in Pasadena. Adoption hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday; and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays.

Pets may not be available for adoption and cannot be held for potential adopters by phone calls or emails. Directions and photos of all pets can be found at pasadenahumane.org.
