Meet Clover! This beautiful young lady was found roaming in Georgia and was surrendered to a shelter down South but made her way up to CAAA in hopes of finding a family of her own. Although we don’t know her past we can sure strive to make her future great- some of her favorite things include large stuffed toys, most snacks and especially other dogs! She may be a bit shy when meeting new people, but with a little patience and reassurance, her loving personality starts to shine through. Clover is building confidence through meeting and playing with new dog friends, she adapts to different play styles and seems to be most comfortable with other canine companions! We believe she would be happiest in a home with a confident social dog to help her adjust to the big wide world. With time, love, and a little encouragement, Clover is sure to blossom into an amazing companion. Submit an application online if interested in adopting!

Battle Gloucester was fantastic on Saturday. Stage For Park was alive with reenactors, a fantastic narrative and a wonderful crowd. There was so much to do and learn. Here are a couple of photos from the park. Remember volunteering has great benefits.

Gloucester, MA — Hundreds of people gathered last Sunday, June 14th, at Stage Fort Park for the Cape Ann Jewish Cultural Festival, a joyful community celebration of Jewish culture, tradition, music, food, and pride.
Hosted by the Chabad Jewish Center of Cape Ann, the festival brought together families, neighbors, local residents, visitors, and community leaders for an afternoon that highlighted the beauty and vibrancy of Jewish life on Cape Ann. The event featured live Jewish music, kosher food, children’s activities, inflatables, crafts, local vendors, community booths, and opportunities for people of all backgrounds to experience Jewish culture in a warm and welcoming environment.
More than just a festival, the day served as a powerful expression of Jewish pride and community connection. At a time when many Jewish communities are facing increased concern over antisemitism and division, the Cape Ann Jewish Cultural Festival offered a positive and uplifting message: Jewish life is not only about standing against hate, but about celebrating identity, tradition, faith, family, and joy.
“It was incredibly moving to see hundreds of people come together to celebrate Jewish life so openly and proudly right here on Cape Ann,” said Rabbi Avremi Raichik, co-director of the Chabad Jewish Center of Cape Ann. “The energy, the music, the families, the smiles, and the sense of unity all reflected something very powerful. Jewish pride is alive, joyful, and deeply meaningful.”
The festival included activities for all ages, with children enjoying hands-on crafts, games, inflatables, and special family-friendly attractions, while adults explored Jewish art, culture, food, music, and community resources. Local vendors and partner organizations helped create a lively and meaningful atmosphere throughout the afternoon.
The Cape Ann Jewish Cultural Festival is part of Chabad Jewish Center of Cape Ann’s ongoing mission to nurture Jewish life and community throughout Cape Ann and the surrounding area. Chabad offers holiday programs, adult education, children’s programs, women’s events, community celebrations, and support for Jews of all backgrounds and affiliations.
“We are grateful to everyone who came out and helped make the day so meaningful,” said Rabbi Raichik. “Seeing people of all ages and backgrounds come together in such a positive way reminds us of the important role community plays in strengthening Jewish identity and bringing people together.”
The full festival photo album will be released soon.

For some people, horseback riding may eventually become part of the journey. For others, the connection happens entirely from the ground. Both are valuable.
Foundational horsemanship is about relationship first.
It’s about learning to listen instead of force. To observe instead of rush. To develop confidence through understanding rather than pressure.
And once people experience horses in this way, something shifts. They stop seeing horses as simply animals to ride — and begin seeing them as intelligent partners capable of teaching patience, presence, and trust in a way few other experiences can.
The state of veterinary medicine has advanced significantly in recent years and thanks to the availability of more effective medicine, many pets are living longer than they would have years ago. With age however, comes the onset of problems such as arthritis and other forms of pain and inflammation. Conventional pharmaceuticals commonly used to treat pain sometimes have a negative impact on the immune system, GI tract, liver, and kidneys. Additionally, they don’t always work as well as we would like them to – for humans as well as our pets.
CBD is an excellent natural anti-inflammatory which can help your senior pet experience better joint health in their Golden Years. Please stop in for a free consultation for your pet Friday or Saturday 11-4 to speak with a Certified CBD Consultant or call 978-985-4592.

What a fun event at Stage Fort Park this weekend! The Battle of Gloucester reenactment continues today and I think you’re going to want to get down there. It’s a great family activity (free!) for Father’s Day especially if your dad is a military or local history buff. We watched by water in the morning and on land in the afternoon. Here’s some representative photos for you to enjoy. Additional photos will be posted at Pat D’s Photos and Adventures on Facebook if you are interested. Happy Father’s Day!
