Big dog, big heart, big personality — that's Roman! This 3-year-old King Shepherd is happiest when he's sniffing while out on an adventure, splashing in the pool, or romping around with his favorite toys. And after a day of fun? He's more than happy to rest his big head in your lap and soak up some love.
Roman can be a little guarded at first, but once you earn his trust, his sweet, silly, and affectionate side shines through. Roman's perfect adopter is who's ready for long walks, lots of cuddles, and one very lovable goofball – could that be you? Adopt Roman today at Pasadena Humane.
The adoption fee for dogs is $150. All dog adoptions include spay or neuter, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccines.
Walk-in adoptions are available every day from 9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. View photos of adoptable pets at pasadenahumane.org.
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 your pet.
Pets may not be available for adoption and cannot be held for potential adopters by phone calls or email.

I asked Spicer to respond. He writes:
"This is all I have to say: Monrovia, by now many of you have seen the political hit piece circulating in the mail. It comes from someone running for City Council for the second time someone who has never been involved in our city’s work and apparently has no ideas for Monrovia’s future if he’s been digging up events from 50 years ago. If he wants to talk about real issues and real qualifications, I’m ready. My record is public, my service is consistent, and my commitment to Monrovia has never wavered. I’m in our neighborhoods every day, and anyone who wants to talk with me knows exactly where to find me, I’m all over town, and everybody knows my number."
There are three candidates for two open City Council seats. The candidates are incumbents Larry Spicer and Dr. Tamala Kelly, and challenger Jesus Rojas. The election will be held Nov. 3.
