These golden girls are better together! 13-year-old Maggie and Ellie are a bonded pair and need someone to adopt them both. They’re good, healthy dogs who will make you very happy. See alt text for details!
Two older labrador retrievers, one golden and one black. 

ELLIE & MAGGIE
13 year old ladies
~ 65 and 67 lbs
Good with: Children 10+, dogs; unknown with cats
Need: Single family home (limited steps preferred, fence negotiable); they are a bonded pair and must be adopted together
House trained? Yes
Crate trained? Not needed 

Status: Available; in foster
Working on: Enjoying their golden years
Enjoy: People, walks, treats 

Hang onto your hearts! These senior golden girls have attained star quality in their fosters’ neighborhood. They are smiling, happy ladies who love to socialize, walk and enjoy the company of their fosters and each other. Ellie & Maggie are incredibly healthy for their ages. Oh sure, they have old lady lumps and bumps but we should all look as wonderful as they do at that age! They take time to smell the flowers, do the extra sniff, savor treats, and spread love and tranquility. They remind us to live in the present, and choose quality over quantity. 

THANKS TO A GENEROUS DONOR WHO WANTS TO HELP ALL SENIOR PUPS FIND THEIR FOREVER HOMES, THE COMBINED ADOPTION FEE FOR BOTH DOGS IS $150. 

Lab Rescue adopts dogs to VA, MD, DC, PA, WV, DE and NC with most dogs fostered in MD or VA. Please complete an application at lab-rescue.org/adopt. #labrescuelrcp #nobetteroptionthanadoption

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

Willie Nelson sayeth "fuck data centers"
A post from the official Willie Nelson social media pages: "I grew up in Abbott, and I still have a home there with farmed land where I can see stars at night. And now our community, like many others, needs to fight against data centers invading our land. The last thing we need is a loud, water thieving, light polluting, data center anywhere near our town (or any others for that matter). The strength of rural America has never come from big industrial footprints. It comes from generations of people, open spaces, local businesses, and a connection to the land. All of America deserves thoughtful stewardship that doesn't steal farmland (where our essential shared-food is grown) and small family farmers' livelihoods, and not data centers that only destroy the environment around them. Whoever controls food and water, controls the masses. Let's not allow our own demise of give up control over necessary resources in the U.S. and especially in Abbott." -Willie Nelson
