"We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue organization dedicated to saving the lives of homeless and abandoned animals in Cleveland County and surrounding areas. It is staggering the number of animals that are taken in at Animal Control daily, we not only want to raise money to help them, we want to help educate people in our county to spay, neuter, vaccinate, microchip...and above all to adopt instead of shop.

Please visit our website for the dogs/puppies that are currently available for adoption. Once all vetting is complete and evaluations complete, they are posted. Link to our on line application is also on the website. We do online application review, home visits and then meet and greet. We will travel up to two hours one way to facilitate home visits. We do not do virtual visits."

"Milk Glass Pie is a small batch enterprise that makes old-fashioned pies from scratch. From the foothills of Western North Carolina, baker Keia Mastrianni works with the seasons and local landscape using the best ingredients grown or produced by farmers, millers, and friends in the region.

Milk Glass Pie began in 2014 as a creative outlet and, frankly, a side hustle to a freelance writing career. What began as a small series of pop-ups grew into a bonafide business that aims to love people, love justice, build community, and make a damn fine pie."
