Meryl, No. A520243, is the kind of dog who steals hearts wherever she goes. At seven years old, this gentle pit bull mix has mastered the perfect balance of sweet affection and easygoing charm. On a recent outing with Pasadena Humane’s Wiggle Waggle Wagon, she greeted every passerby with a wagging tail and a hopeful gaze, soaking up all the attention she could get. Of course, she loved all pets and cuddles, too!

One of Meryl’s favorite things in the world is making new friends both human and canine. She quickly bonded with another dog during a recent outing, and the two became inseparable for the day, happily walking side by side and enjoying each other’s company.

Meryl might thrive in a home with another friendly, medium-sized dog who can be her buddy. She has a wonderful, adaptable energy — excited for walks and new adventures but just as content to stretch out on the grass and relax.

Meryl already knows some basic commands like “sit,” and takes treats gently, proving she’s not just loving but well-mannered too. She’s the kind of dog who will make a house feel like a home, bringing warmth, companionship, and a little bit of fun. If you’re looking for a devoted and affectionate pup who will always be by your side, Meryl is ready to be your new best friend.

Tyrone, a 3-year-old pit bull mix is smart and affectionate

Tyrone, No. A519310, is a handsome 3-year-old pit bull mix with a heart as big as his smile! This affectionate and playful guy is as sweet as they come. Whether he’s rolling over with his toys or gently placing his head in your lap for some love, Tyrone is all about spreading joy. He knows commands like “sit,” “stay” and “shake,” and he takes treats ever so gently.

Tyrone is also a social butterfly! He loves meeting new people — men, women and kids alike — and always greets them with a wagging tail and a friendly demeanor. At a recent event, he spent time with a 12-year-old boy, soaking up all the attention and even attempting to sneak in a kiss! He’s working on his leash manners, though he might get excited if something catches his eye. With a little continued training, he’ll be an excellent adventure companion.

While Tyrone enjoys his playtime, he also has a wonderfully calm and snugly side. Throughout a full day of meeting people and exploring new places, he remained relaxed, never barking even when other dogs were vocal.

He’s eager to please, incredibly gentle, and has so much love to give. If you’re looking for a sweet, fun-loving and affectionate companion, Tyrone just might be your perfect match!

Frankie is a big-hearted stunner

Frankie is a gorgeous orange tabby with a heart as big as his personality. This affectionate boy is the ultimate cuddler — once he claims your lap, he’ll stay there for hours, happily snoozing until he hears the chirping of birds or the glorious sound of a can being opened.

Frankie is a one-and-only kind of guy. He craves undivided attention and will thrive in a calm, pet-free, and child-free home where he can be the center of your world. His favorite pastimes include playing with his feather wand and fluffy balls, keeping himself (and you!) entertained for hours.

Frankie has a condition called hyperesthesia, which is well-managed with just one medication. He was previously adopted into a loving but multi-cat household, where he became overstimulated and displayed aggression. However, now back with us and on his prescription, he has been nothing but his sweet, snugly self.

If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will shower you with love, Frankie is ready to be your perfect match. Could you the purrson who sees how fabulous he is? See more of him and apply to adopt Frankie at www.lifelineforpets.org/frankie.html
