Vibrant Juliet needs a family to embrace her energetic personality
Juliet is a strikingly unique 1-year-old Husky mix with a personality as vibrant as her appearance! Independent and playful, Juliet is looking for a home that embraces her energetic spirit and strong-willed nature. She loves to chew and would thrive with plenty of toys to keep her mind and body busy.
Though she’s a little reserved when meeting new people, with patience and gentle guidance, Juliet warms up to show her sweet and affectionate side. She’s a smart girl who’s eager to learn but will need some training to channel her excitement and become the well-mannered companion she’s meant to be.
Recently, Juliet had a fun outing with the Pasadena Humane mobile team, where she greeted visitors and spent time with other dogs. She enjoyed several walks, made a few select human friends (rewarding them with kisses and cuddles), and even had a playful romp with another dog. After her adventures, she calmly returned to the shelter, ready to rest after a full day of fun.
If you’re ready to provide Juliet with the love, structure, and playtime she craves, she’s ready to become your loyal and lively companion. Could you be her perfect match?

Sensitive Frida looking for a calm, patient home
Frida is a stunning young German Shepherd mix with a world of potential. This lovely girl can be energetic, and she would love to expend her energy with a best friend.
Frida is a sensitive soul who’s still getting used to the world around her. She’s happiest in calm surroundings and would do best in a low-traffic home where she can settle in without too much hustle and bustle. Frida is a bit unsure around other dogs, so she might be best as the only pet for now.
With Frida’s sweet nature, she’ll thrive with someone who can provide gentle guidance and plenty of reassurance. Once she’s comfortable, Frida will reward you with affection, her beautiful Shepherd loyalty, and a bond that only grows deeper with time.
If you’re looking for a loving companion and are ready to offer Frida the calm, patient home she needs, she could be the perfect match for you. Come meet Frida at Pasadena Humane and see if she’s the loyal friend you’ve been looking for!
Frida and all other dogs over 40 pounds old have their adoption fees waived from December 19 – 31 during the Roses & Wet Noses adoption promotion at Pasadena Humane.
