🪅Do Some Good

We all love a good boom boom but Love Your Community reminds us the mess left behind can end up in our waterways, ditches, gutters and trees. Please think twice before you leave your Mardi Gras mess on the ground. The City of Mobile has a pretty great clean-up crew, but it doesn’t get everything left behind.

🐶This Baby Needs a Mommy….😺

From Krewe de Rescue:
“Nine puppies were rescued by duck hunters yesterday. They were found abandoned at a landing near the boat launch. These babies are only six weeks old and need to see a vet ASAP. Some have skin issues, possibly a fungus of some type. Please complete our application below if you would like to foster a puppy or two. These sweet babies deserve a chance.”
