Get Rescued Under Way
There is plenty of love and goodwill to go around today for the rescued pets up for adoption at Gulfport's annual event, which runs until 6 p.m.
The annual Get Rescued drew dozens of pet rescue agencies and their four-legged orphans today in need of a forever home. The event started at 9 a.m. and runs until 6 p.m. Visitors get a chance to see up close a variety of rescued animals, from chihuahuas and pugs to standard-size poodles and Golden Retrievers. There also are vendors offering handmade items for sale, from cutlery wind chimes to sea glass pendants. A strong ocean breeze has kept things cool throughout the day along lovely Beach Boulevard. Patch also has tent at the festival. Stop by for a Patch ballpoint pen, sign up for our morning newsletter and meet Local Editor Cherlene Willis.
