Hitch is a quirky and good-natured boy who likes exploring
Hitch is a two-year-old gray pittie at Pasadena Humane with a charming, truly one-of-a-kind personality. He particularly enjoys heading out to explore, taking his time to sniff and investigate everything along the way. He already knows cues like “sit” and “down,” and he enjoys enrichment activities that keep his mind busy. While he’s not overly focused on toys, he finds plenty of joy in the little things, like the satisfying crunch of a leaf on a stroll!
Hitch is a thoughtful, quirky companion who marches to the beat of his own drum. He settles nicely after outings and has shown himself to be an easygoing, good-natured boy. He’s currently available for a 10-day adoption trial, giving potential adopters the chance to see just how special life with Hitch can be.
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.

Calvary Chapel Monrovia switches from three to two services
Though Calvary Chapel Monrovia (at Myrtle and Cherry) is growing, today it switched from three Sunday services to two, at 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. The reason is that it has opened an overflow room which allows it to accommodate more people for each service.
