Shy Kelce Needs Quiet Home to Blossom
Kelce is a shy and sensitive husky who is in search of a quiet home that will allow him to blossom into the wonderful dog that we know he can be. While initially he can be unsure of new people and places, Kelce quickly warms up and becomes a wiggly puppy!
Kelce is a little over one year old and likely close to full grown at fifty pounds. He has made a lot of close friends with volunteers and staff at Pasadena Humane, so his forever family will get an instant BFF!
He recently got to go out on a field trip with some volunteers. They reported that he had a great day out- playing fetch in the yard, going for walks and getting tons of attention. He loves chasing toys but hasn’t quite grasped the “bring it back” idea. He does well in the car, enjoys getting pets and appears to be house trained.
Handsome and adorable Kelce is a diamond in the rough. Once you get past his shy exterior, you’ll find the gentle heart and loving personality that we get to see all the time!
The adoption fee for dogs is $150. All dog adoptions include spay or neuter, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccines.

A Moment in Monrovia History: The Carnegie Library
The new library opened January 27, 1908 and was replaced in 1956. "Mr. Carnegie's liberal offer of ten thousand dollars for the library building, inspired an active and harmonious civic spirit that aroused the voting public to the advisability of securing this central location for a city hall and park. Over one hundred and seventy-five merchants and other prominent citizens joined in the publication of an appeal to the public, urging support of the bonds. The ladies of the Saturday Afternoon Club did yeoman service among the voters, and served luncheon on election day in one of the rooms of the Granite Bank Building. Among the prominent ones engaged were Mesdames A. H. Johnson, E. S. Armstrong, F. D. Hammond, C. H. Anson, M. W. Cole, George O. Monroe, C. E. Slosson, 1. N. Wheeler, 1. M. Banks and K. E. Lawrence. Both bond issues carried by overwhelming majorities, and the evening after the election, the civic battlers celebrated at the Grand View Hotel with an oyster supper where oratorical felicitations flowed freely." John L. Wiley, History of Monrovia 1927 p 98. From the Myron Hotchkiss collection. See full details here.
