After an uptick in ICE presence throughout Montgomery County, Ambler Borough Council opted to create its own immigration policies. In an Aug. 1 memo, the council said it will act in “compliance with federal and commonwealth laws,” but did offers context to “existing policies and procedures regarding immigration-related matters” within the borough’s boundaries.

🐶 Rescue of the Week

Rescue of the Week: Shug, a 2-year-old beagle mix

Home At Last Dog Rescue is excited to introduce Shug, a 2-year-old Beagle mix, as the featured rescue of the week. 

Shug came from a shelter in North Carolina, before he found his way to his current foster home in North Wales, through Home At Last Dog Rescue. 

Shug is the kind of dog who enjoys lounging around at home and spending time with his human. He gets along well with other dogs, preferably larger ones, and is currently house and crate trained. Due to his laid-back nature, a low to moderately active household would be the best fit for him. Once he warms up to you, he can be very cuddly and affectionate.

If you are interested in adopting Shug or would like more information, you can reach out to Home At Last Dog Rescue at [email protected] or visit the website at www.homeatlastdogrescue.com.
