Bruno the Big Sweetie; All Adoption Fees Being Waved
Three-year-old Bruno is a big sweetie! He has a great energy level and loves to be chased and really wants everyone just to rub his belly. His go-to move is to squirm onto his back for easier belly rubbing access. He’s a beautiful dog (people regularly tell him this when he's out on walks), and one of the sweetest boys ever.
Currently, all adoption fees are waived, made possible by the Spence Family and Capital Group. All dog adoptions include spay or neuter, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccines.
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.
View photos of adoptable pets at pasadenahumane.org and fill out an online adoption application. Adoptions are by appointment only.
Pets may not be available for adoption and cannot be held for potential adopters by phone calls or email.

Monrovia Still Needs to Buy Water; Tax on New Development
At its next meeting, Tuesday, April 21, 7:30 p.m. (online only) the Monrovia City Council will consider ...
~ Buying 1,000 acre feet of water (an acre-foot is an acre covered a foot deep in water) from Azusa for $789,360. Monrovia's allotment of groundwater from the Upper San Gabriel Municipal Water District is 5,740.8 acre feet per year, but we use 1,209.2 acre feet more than that, so we're buying extra from a city that isn't using its full allotment. https://is.gd/PBk4qg
~ Imposing a special tax on the planned 436-unit Alexan Foothills Project, that will be located just west of the City's Station Square Transit Village. The tax is to cover the additional need for city services the project will generate. https://is.gd/az05PL
The Council meeting will be online. You can follow it here: www.foothillsmedia.org/monrovia
