Green Slippery Decks/Patios

 BY ATLANTICPOWERCLEANING

Mold buildup can leave your deck and patio areas green, slimy, and dangerously slippery, but we can fix that.

At Atlantic Power Cleaning, we use a specialized floater attachment combined with HOT water to safely and thoroughly clean your outdoor surfaces – restoring them to like-new condition without damage.

✅ Safe for wood, stone, concrete and composite
✅ Effective mold and grime removal
✅ Kills the mold so it doesn’t come right back

Don’t risk slips or let your outdoor space go to waste — contact us today and bring your deck or patio back to life!

Please join us in celebrating the grand reopening of the newly renovated and expanded Sawyer Free Library— an inspiring, inclusive space created for our whole community.

Can CBD Manage Rheumatoid Arthritis?

 BY ANGEL WINGS WELLNESS

Rheumatoid arthritis is a painful type of arthritis that causes damage to the bones and joints, potentially resulting in deformity overtime. CBD with it’s anti-inflammatory properties, may help individuals with this condition by reducing symptoms naturally, as inflammation is the primary factor to the degeneration associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Studies have shown that CBD can decrease joint damage and slow the progression of the disease, enabling those diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis to enjoy a longer more fulfilling life. 

Angel Wings Wellness offers a full line of premium CBD products that may increase the quality of you life. Please come by the shop and pick up some free samples

Mews and Pupdates | August 2025 From Cape Ann Animal Aid

MEWS AND PUPDATES | August 2025DONATE | TRIBUTES DOGS CATS EVENTS

After 365 days in the care of Cape Ann Animal Aid, Ozzie finally went home! Ozzie entered our care on July 29th, 2024 after Gloucester’s Animal Control took him into custody. He weighed a mere 46 lbs when he arrived, but after much love and care, he reached a healthy weight and his goofy, lovable personality shone through. He was adopted on July 29th, 2025, on the 1-year anniversary of his arrival!

“Ozzie update. Today makes 2 weeks of him being in his forever home. The first night he was home I woke up at 3am feeling like someone was staring at me. I opened my eyes and realized he was standing above me with his nose about an inch from my nose looking at me. Needless to say I was a little startled, I guess I was snoring and he was curious LOL. The first few days I was looking for his off switch. He had been full tilt from the minute he woke up till bed time. In 2 weeks he has only had 1 potty accident in the house. Ozzie has now settled into the daily routine and is very happy. I now know that I have a permanent shadow. Anytime I walk out of eyesight he immediately gets up to see where I am going. I also learned that the neighborhood now has a permanent watch dog. If a bag blows across the street 4 blocks away he hears it and has to bark at it no matter the time of day or night. He is a very loving boy that just wants to play and be loved. He loves doing zoomies and playing ball in the back yard and also loves going for rides in the truck. He has really enjoyed meeting new friends that have stopped by, offering them his ball to throw, (if they can get it LOL). He is a good boy and I want to thank Cape Ann Animal Aid for allowing me to adopt him. I hope this can give inspiration to other people to give older and bigger dogs a chance at a happy life.”

PLAY YARD MATCHING CAMPAIGN
We have less than $3,000 left to raise to meet our goal of raising $10,000 to improve and reinforce our play yard fencing! And you have 2 more weeks to have your gift matched by Tito’s Handmade Vodka!
Through August 31st, Tito’s will generously match every dollar donated up to $10,000.
That means your $25 gift becomes $50, helping us reach the $20,000 needed to:✅ Replace the old, dug-out fencing with a secure, permanent solution✅ Add a visual barrier between 2 of 3 play yards (hello, privacy!)✅ Create a calm, safe space where every dog can enjoy time outdoors—especially those who need a little extra space or get overstimulated easily
These thoughtful updates will help dogs who are shy, reactive, or recovering from tough experiences feel safe and supported. With visual separation between play yards, they can enjoy outdoor time without the stress of seeing other dogs constantly.
