Story 1: ‘Bounced back.’ Pups in Pines animal abuse case recovering; two up for adoption
After being rescued from freezing conditions and severe malnourishment, three dogs are now thriving, with one adopted and two looking for carefully vetted forever homes.

Story 2: ‘It’s always special.’ Read for the Record initiative kicks off in Pembroke Pines
At Pembroke Lakes Elementary, local leaders helped launch Broward’s Read for the Record celebration, where thousands of pre-K and kindergarten students share the same book on the same day to build early literacy. This year’s pick, “See Marcus Grow,” comes with 40,000 copies going home to kids and is designed to reinforce themes of growth, perseverance and community care.

The new Masters in the Pines golf tournament at Pembroke Lakes Golf Course aims to raise money for We Love Pembroke Pines, a city-backed nonprofit that mobilizes volunteers and supports local improvement projects.
