Have a Flea Market Adventure

In an effort to catch the attention of people who won't be driving by due to the Gold Line construction, one business south of the Duarte Road / Myrtle Avenue intersection is offering a unique reason to drop by:  A Flea Market!

Wonder Dog Ranch, at 220 Taylor St, just East of Myrtle, will be hosting the event, featuring a wide variety of... well, stuff! (Isn't that what you find at a flea market?).

Miller & McCabe, a firm that is very experienced in producing great community markets, is managing this event with the assistance of Penny & Pig Estate Sales. More details will be updated periodically on The Flea Market blog at http://wonderdogfleamarket.wordpress.com/

As this is a “not for dogs only” event, look for lots of great things to buy as well as information about our community, but we’ll be sure to have some good pet information too: you’ll be able to learn about planning for emergencies for your pets; get information from Monrovia’s new animal control service, Pasadena Humane Society; kids can be kept busy reading books to dogs as periodically there will be Therapy Dogs inside the Ranch in the Dog’s Life Living Room just waiting for children to read from a collection of books from Ernie’s Little Library - a Monrovia Reads Little Free Library located on the sidewalk at Wonder Dog Ranch; and there’ll even be special treats as Wonder Dog Ranch celebrates “Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day” an event internationally celebrated on this Sunday. !Customers are welcome to bring dogs, but please be sure to have all pooches under strict control on a short leash. Dogs will not be allowed inside Wonder Dog Ranch unless they are already enrolled like our regular customers who may be inside, but tours for their people will be offered periodically throughout the day. 

A portion of the proceeds of this event will benefit the Foothill Unity Center Pet Food Bank. 

For more information or any questions, please visit www.WonderDogRanch.com or call 626.205.2501 or 855-DOG RANCH.
