With heat waves sweeping across the country, blue-green algae is appearing in new areas and posing an increased risk to pets.

Found in lakes, ponds or any source of standing water, it’s extremely toxic and consuming it can be fatal. The best way to prevent accidental poisoning is to keep a close eye on pets when they’re around water.

If you think your pet has been exposed, take them to the nearest emergency veterinary hospital and contact the ASPCA Poison Control at 888-426-4435.

Mischief (A504718)
You know you’re in for a barrel of laughs with a dog named Mischief! This handsome two-year-old lab mix was voted Most Popular Dog while out with our mobile adoption team. He met a ton of admirers at the Wiggle Waggle Walk, and basked in all the attention from kids, other dogs, and everyone who visited.
He has a lovable and affectionate personality and is known to crawl into your lap for snuggles and kisses. Mischief also knows some basic commands already and is happy to show them off for the right treat (or toy). He is eager to please, so further training with him should be a breeze.
He is a very active guy, so if you’re looking for a running or hiking buddy, or maybe a dog to do agility, Mischief is your man!
The adoption fee for dogs is $150. 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 and
schedule an adoption appointment at pasadenahumane.org. Adoptions are by

Doodalina is a 1-year-old spayed Doberman Pinscher mix who is full of fun! Her unique name comes from her silly smile that made us think she is an artistic doodle come to life. We love how she happily bounces around the play yard, tossing toys in the air, investigating every bit of fuzz she can find and generally acting like a rambunctious puppy, which of course, she is. Doodalina weighs about 65 pounds but is likely still growing. She knows a couple of commands and seems ready and willing to learn more (as long as that bit of fuzz doesn’t distract her).
