Princess Peanut may be a pint-sized pooch, but this 10-year-old Chihuahua has plenty of personality to spare and a paws-itive perspective, making her the perfect spokesdog for the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA and the important work we do to create a better world for all animals-work that could not be accomplished without the support of our community.

Lost and alone, Princess came to the shelter with a badly injured leg. But after several months of care from our dedicated medical team, she was adopted on January 20, 2005 by our Development Department and now spends her days greeting visitors and serving as a wagging example of the vital difference donations make in the lives of the animals we rescue.

The Pasadena Humane Society relies on contributions not only to provide food, shelter and medical care to the thousands of animals we take in every year, but also to fund adoption, behavior and education programs-programs whose goal is to find safe, loving and permanent homes for all our adoptable animals.

Support from donors helped give Princess a new leash on life; with continued help from the communities we serve, we will be able to give many more "Princesses" a second chance.
