These pets are ready to settle in at their forever home — your place!

Can Chandler he be any cuter?

True to his “Friends” namesake, Chandler is a brown domestic shorthair tabby who is playful and sweet. Age 6 months, he is enjoying every moment of his kittenhood. He loves cuddling in someone’s arms and is always ready to curl up in laps after a fun-filled day of exploring and playing.

Chandler would thrive in a home where there is another young cat to keep him company. While he hasn’t been around dogs, with patience and care, he is young enough to be gradually introduced to a canine friend.

Give Chandler the loving home he deserves and let him bring endless joy and laughter to your life. See more pictures and apply to adopt him at lifelineforpets.org/chandler-joey.html

Jabarkus is just trying to make fetch happen. Are you in?

Five-year-old Jabarkus, No. A514871, is a handsome rottweiler mix who wants nothing more than to play.

Jabarkus loves tennis balls, squeaky balls, rubber balls, and any kind of ball as long as you’re ready to keep throwing it!

He enjoys taking the occasional cuddle break, followed by more rounds of fetch. If you stop petting him, he might even nudge you with his nose to ask for more.

Jabarkus is a super smart dog who enjoys learning new things. He already knows sit, down, up, and shake, and can’t wait to learn even more new things. He would be a great student at a Pasadena Humane training class.

This sweet dog also enjoys walks in the park. He’s looking for a best friend who also enjoys leisurely strolls around the neighborhood.

Jabarkus is not only friendly with people, but has been known to get along with other dogs too. He would love to be a part of your family!

Pedro Pascal, No. A514353, rocks star quality

Pedro Pascal is 6 years old and mostly responds to just “Pascal” — because he’s one of those cool cats who goes by their last name.

He likes following his favorite people around to supervise their activities, lounging on the floor, leaving his pawtograph on cardboard cat scratchers, and watching TV (usually any programs with birds).

Just like the real Pedro Pascal, this Pedro is a friend to all — he’s great with adults and children and doesn’t even mind being picked up!

Pedro is FIV-positive, but that doesn’t preclude him from living with other cats.

Cats contract FIV through deep bite wounds or from the milk of their FIV-positive mother, so when kitties are living in harmony and everyone is spayed and neutered, the risk of transmission is very low.

In addition, although FIV-positive cats have a lowered immune system that make them more susceptible to infections, they can live long, happy lives when kept healthy through regular veterinary visits. So don’t let that stop you from meeting this sweet guy!
