Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie who is looking for her forever home. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

Gary Trent Jr. will be playing the 2024-25 season with the Milwaukee Bucks. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN is reporting that Trent Jr. is joining the team on a one-year deal.

It is somewhat surprising that Trent Jr. is accepting that offer, but he will enter free agency again next offseason.
