A Plan To Keep Dogtown Wild And Free : News Photo

“A Plan To Keep Dogtown Wild And Free
GLOUCESTER, MA – MARCH 12: Kevin Martin checks out a Babson Boulder with a ‘Keep Out of Debt’ carving on Dogtown Common in Gloucester, MA on March 12, 2018. The area in Gloucester and Rockport known as Dogtown is hard to pin down. It is part historical site, part recreation area, and part rambling woodland. It is a place where mountain bikers ride rugged trails and history buffs come to explore the remains of Colonial-era homes. No matter how you see Dogtown, the land is an important local resource that needs to be protected, said Mary Ellen Lepionka, co-chair of the Gloucester Historical Commission and one of the leaders of an effort to have Dogtown listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Oilskins

While going through my phone last night I found this photo from August.  It is always right about now that I begin to miss summer days.  These oilskins all lined up for a hard day at work definitely say Gloucester to me.

Finish Line Glosta for the Adventureman!

 

untitled

I caught a re-tweet from Sefatia Romeo Theken last night which contained very exciting news for Gloucester from Adventureman Jamie McDonald, who is running 6000 miles across the United States to raise money so that no child will have to forgo medical treatments due to financial concerns. He has decided to end his run right here in Gloucester, in part due to the fact that his hometown is Gloucester England.  At the moment, he thinks he might cross his finish line sometime in March. He’s on his way up the East Coast after starting in northwest Washington state.

You can follow him on this link as well as on Facebook by searching for Adventureman. Donations can be made at SuperheroFoundation.org. This is very exciting news for our city! Thanks to the Mayor for sharing the information!

Pet of the Week- Natasha and Tamara

Natasha and Tamara here! We are sibling chihuahua mixes that made the journey to CAAA all the way from Puerto Rico! Why, you ask? Well, you see, there are many strays in PR and the chances of us finding homes there are pretty slim. So we flew north in pursuit of families!
We can both be a little bit timid with new people, but once we warm up to you we let our goofy and playful sides shine. The staff here say we are both lots of fun and we seem to go with the flow. Feel like going for a hike? Great, us too! Wanna chill on the couch and watch a movie? Sounds like a great idea!
If you’re looking to add a new canine addition to your life and are looking for someone on the smaller side, stop in for a visit and see if one of us would be a good match for you!
To learn more about me or other animals waiting for homes, please come visit our shelter at 4 Paws Lane in Gloucester or check us out online at www.capeannanimalaid.org.
