Long Beach Local News has teamed up with @lbanimalcare to help some animals find their ‘fur ever’ homes!

If you're dreaming of your very own extra special breed, then Choco (#A670477) our rare and mystical Chocolate Pittadorgi is ready to be your soulmate! This adorable 2 year old seems to have gorgeous, thick chocolate labrador fur, the handsome head of a pitbull and the short stack legs of a corgi. He's young, active, strong and would benefit from a dog savvy owner who could provide the guidance Choco needs to become the best Pittadorgi he can be. He loves attention and will stand patiently for scratches for as long as you're willing to provide them. This young boy has been with us since February and is eager to experience what real life is like out of a shelter and in a loving home.

The shelter is over capacity. Please help network this gorgeous pup!

@portoflongbeach and its industry partners earlier

@portoflongbeach and its industry partners earlier this month demonstrated how one port trucking company is converting to a full zero-emissions trucking fleet by 2025, a full decade before the 2035 zero-emissions goal set by the Clean Air Action Plan.

The announcement was made at 4 Gen Logistics in the Port of Long Beach, where Electrify America will install 60 public charging stations by the end of 2023 to serve its own fleet of electric trucks, as well as other companies’ trucks.

4 Gen will also purchase 41 Volvo and 20 Kenworth electric heavy-duty trucks, with plans eventually calling for a 100-vehicle zero emissions fleet. In addition, 4 Gen’s site in Rialto will host 30 charging stations. #portoflongbeach #longbeach

Grocery Outlet Bargain Market, an extreme-value grocery
retailer, has officially opened its newest location today on Willow Street in Long Beach.

The store has helped create up to 33 new jobs in the community and provides big savings on name
brands, and high-quality merchandise for local consumers.

Grocery Outlet offers the same trusted brands as traditional grocery stores but at lower prices.

“We are so thrilled to be a part of the Long Beach community and provide big savings on quality groceries,” said Independent Operator Chris Castillo. “This partnership with Grocery Outlet gives me the ability to grow my business, create new jobs and more importantly, give back to the local community.”

Chris Castillo donated $1,000 to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Long Beach, whose mission is to enable all young people to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

Castillo also presented a $1,000 donation to Memorial Medical Center Foundation, whose mission is to support Long Beach Medical Center and Miller Children & Women Hospital
Long Beach in their commitment to providing quality health care close to home.

In celebration of the opening, from Monday, September 19 through Thursday, October 27,
customers may enter for a chance to win $1,000 in groceries! To enter, customers may access the online contest (LINK). Entry must include a valid, working email address where the entrant
can be notified. The winner need not be present to win but must claim the prize within three days of notification, or another winner will be chosen. No cash value and no substitutions, prize
distributed over (20) $50 rewards certificates. Valid only at Long Beach Willow Street Grocery Outlet.

The first 100 customers attending the ribbon-cutting celebration also receive Grocery Outlet
Bliss Buck gift cards in mystery amounts ranging from $5 to $500. (Must be 18 years of age or

Long Beach Local News has teamed up with @lbanimalcare to help some animals find their ‘fur ever’ homes!

Atlas (#A669744) is approximately 2 years old and he's a big smiling, tail wagging, young guy with 3 awesome black spots down his back and a goofy, playful gallop. He's treat motivated and playful, active and loves to do the zoomies around the play yard. He seeks out affection and loves to be pet. He came to us as a stray in January and is now one of the many great dogs that sadly seems to have gotten stuck in our shelter system. The name Atlas is Greek and means 'bearer of the heavens', but this young dog shouldn't have to carry the weight of the world on his own. He deserves a forever family to share long walks, playtimes, movie nights and all of life's adventures.

The shelter is over capacity. Please help network this gorgeous pup!
