Rainbow has been described as a “very excited cuddler”. She adores human affection so much that she’s bursting with love. She flops around on her back just begging for another tummy rub.
She is also very smart- she knows how to walk nicely on leash, meet other dogs appropriately and knows some of her basic commands. We’re sure that this Rainbow will certainly lead to a pot of gold!

The Granite Bank, at the corner of Myrtle and Palm, was organized in 1886 by Mr. W.N. Monroe, Monrovia's founder, and a group of early-day capitalists. This stately building, built in 1887 with granite quarried from the nearly hills was open for business in 1888, but ceased operation a few years later when the real estate boom of the eighties collapsed. At that time it was transformed into the City Hall and was so used until 1952 (when it was damaged by the Tehachapi earthquake). The south storeroom was the first location of the Monrovia Public Library (as painted on the window). Overhead is Monrovia's first electric Street light. From the Myron Hotchkiss collection. See full details here.

During Super Bowl LVII weekend (Feb. 11 &12) the Monrovia Police Department will have additional officers on patrol looking for drivers suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
"We want the football fans in our community to enjoy Super Bowl festivities, but we also want responsible drivers on our roads," Lt. Kevin Oberon said. "Before you grab a drink, make sure your game plan includes scheduling a ride-share or designating a sober driver. Choosing a safer way to go is something we can all root for."
Monrovia PD reminds the public that alcohol is not the only substance that impairs. Marijuana, prescription medications, and over-the-counter drugs may also impair your ability to drive safely. Do your research and understand how certain drugs may affect you. Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety. through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Now that we can see the happy girl that was underneath the shyness, we could not be happier. When Avalanche gets the zoomies- her exuberance and joy is infectious! She runs around the yard with reckless abandon, happily squeaking on toys and smiling from ear to ear. When she slows down for a moment, it’s cuddle time- she leans into you for pets and gently nudges you for more if you stop for some reason.
Avalanche’s adoption fee is only $14 between February 9 – 15 as part of the Be Mine promotion. Read Avalanche (and other dogs’) “dating profile” on our website, then book a “first date” to meet her!
