Yard sale for Teddy: Trained Dogs for Adoption is having its annual yard sale fundraiser on Saturday from 7 AM-noon at 1836 Roosevelt Avenue. This time, it’s all about Teddy.
Authorities took Teddy away from his owner over eight months ago when he was a ten-week-old puppy, the victim of animal cruelty. He has been living in the shelter ever since as his owner went on trial for his actions. A judge recently released Teddy, and Trained Dogs for Adoption was contacted by the shelter for help.
Over his many months at the shelter, Teddy became a shelter favorite. Despite his horrible start to life, Teddy harbors no grudges. In fact, we are completely amazed by his profound resilience. Teddy is exceptionally sweet and social despite never having learned "how to be a dog". He is a testament to the nobility of dogs.
All proceeds from the yard sale will be used to support Teddy and other dogs in the Altadena rescue’s care. Besides the furniture, clothing, and household items, there will be a craft and bake sale as well.

Country western at the Coffee Gallery: Theatre Americana will have a rip-roaring, boot-kicking country western show Saturday at the Coffee Gallery Backstage, 2029 N. Lake Avenue from 7-9 PM. It’s to help raise money for Hand in Paw, a non-profit animal rescue dedicated to the rehabilitation and adoption of homeless dogs. Tickets are $15, and reservations are at: 626-798-6236.
