Review of Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA

This place seemed very nice at first and very easy...

This place seemed very nice at first and very easy to adopt a dog....which we learned now isnt always a good thing. My boyfriend and I were looking for a dog for many months, and had alot of heartbreaks with city shelters so we went here. We saw a dog there that was there for awhile now. And we liked him alot so we adopted him. We were over the moon excited and tried to spoil the dog and shower him with love. But we had him for a week and in that week the dog as we discovered had a heart murmur that the shelter never disclosed. It was very devastating to us and we cried as we had to give him back. We saw no other way since it was gonna cost $3,000 every month plus an additional $1,000 just to start treatment. But our vet told us that he would still die the same way so just give him back. The shelter knew that he had a heart murmur and still tried to pass the dog off as healthy and didnt care if it died with us. They said come back to adopt another dog but after this I dont want another dog from them. And I decided to go to a breeder instead since it's so difficult to adopt a good healthy beginner dog in the shelter.
