WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Let's keep our 100% adoption rate going for our Wednesday wags!
🐾 Simon and Jennifer stopped by the studio this morning for our weekly Wednesday doggo date!
🐕 Meet Simon — he is great with other doggos and wondering why he hasn't been adopted yet. He is well-trained, eager and ready to be an addition to your family. At about 2 years old, he has the energy of a puppy with the maturity of a house-trained, playful doggo.
It’s all part of our weekly collab with Caring Hearts for Canines, every Wednesday at 7:50 AM 🐶
❤️ Caring Hearts for Canines has already helped over 5,000 dogs find loving homes!
💻 Learn more or get involved: caringheartsforcanines.com
📧 [email protected]
Caring Hearts for Canines is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit rescue based right here in Moore County. Founded by Jennifer Johnston Chopping in 2014, their mission is to save dogs from high-kill shelters and give them a second chance at life. 🐾
North Carolina still has one of the highest euthanasia rates in the country — so every donation, volunteer hour, and adoption truly makes a difference.
🙌 Donate. Volunteer. Adopt.
See you next week with another adorable doggo! 🐕💚

Hoke County High School senior **Kymora Poole** turned volunteering at FirstHealth into a real-world career—becoming a certified nursing assistant while still in high school and preparing for nursing school next fall.

Her story shows how volunteering can spark a passion and open doors to a future in health care right here at home.

👏 A big shoutout to **FirstHealth** and their **FirstFutures** program for growing tomorrow’s health care heroes.

**Stay safe, have fun, and be positive.**
