It's all a fundraiser for Pedro Pet Pals, the nonprofit formed a couple years ago to raise funds and help support the Harbor Area Animal Care Center at 957 N. Gaffey St., San Pedro.

Los Angeles Police officer Joe Buscaino, one of five candidates running for San Pedro Honorary Mayor, is sponsoring the "meet and greet" gathering at a private home in South Shores. Pedro Pet Pals, one of the charities he's selected to support during his campaign, will be the beneficiary of the money raised.


Tickets are $25 for the Shorty Rossi event and available at Domenick's Pizza House, 28360 S. Western Ave. (that's in the Smart & Final shopping center), Rancho Palos Verdes. Tickets also are available at the door that night. The event runs from 4-8 p.m. Saturday (March 26).

Call 310-707-2108.

Another upcoming Charm and Luck handbag fundraiser happens from 11 - 7 this Saturday at Dominick's Pizza, 28360 S. Western Ave., San Pedro.

Sponsored by Pedro Pet Pals with proceeds going to help the animals in the Harbor Animal Care Center in San Pedro.

Charm and Luck designer handbags will be on sale Saturday (8/22/09) for discounted prices ($30-$70) as part of a fundraiser at the Harbor Animal Care Center, 957 N. Gaffey St., San Pedro.

The sale runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the shelter, which also is offering 50 percent off adoption fees through Sunday.

Cats will be adopted for a "two for one" price.

The event is sponsored by Pedro Pet Pals, a nonprofit organization. More information is available at www.pedropetpals.com.

 

The award-winning documentary Wiener Takes All will be shown at 2:30 p.m. Sunday (6/14) at San Pedro's Warner Grand Theatre, 478 W. Sixth St.

The Canadian-made movie, which has won numerous film festival awards, looks at the wacky world of dachshund racing.

Come early, at 2 p.m., and you can see some of the "stars" strutting their stuff on the theater's red carpet.

Tickets are $10 each ($7 for senior citizens and students).

Or buy tickets beforehand in person by showing up tomorrow at San Pedro's outdoor Farmers Market (9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday). Volunteers from Pedro Pet Pals -- a group that supports the Harbor Animal Care, the L.A. city-run animal shelter in San Pedro -- will be out there selling tickets. Wearing funky wiener dog hats, I'm told, so you can't really miss them. The weekly market is set up in the street along the 400 block of West Sixth Street.

Part of the movie ticket proceeds will go to Pedro Pet Pals.

Online tickets can be purchased also through the Warner Grand Theatre.
