Federal, state lawsuits, cancer battles delaying planned Wawa on Forty Foot Road in Towamencin

If you’ve driven by a glitzy, glamorous brand new Wawa lately, you might have some serious gas station envy. The one in Towamencin at Forty Foot Road and Sumneytown Pike has seen plans come to the township as far back as March 2020. Yet, not much has been done.

🐶 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.
