It would be paw-some if you could help us reunite these dogs with their owners. All three were found Saturday. The two larger dogs were found roaming around the N. Farms Rd. area and the smaller one was found near Mountain Laurel Path off Florence Rd. Please call 413-587-1100 if you have any information that would help us and Northampton Animal Control 🐾.

⚽FIFA World Cup🏆 games start tomorrow and the first more local match at Gillette Stadium kicks off on Saturday. If you are lucky enough to have tickets (we are jealous😕) make sure to leave your drone at home. The Federal Aviation Administration has set up temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) in and around stadiums hosting matches.
Will you be attending or will you be avoiding the crowds altogether?
