BOSTON – Mayor Marty Walsh closed Boston's public schools for Friday citing an approaching winter storm forecast to drop as much as 8 inches of snow on the metropolitan area starting in the early morning hours.
Some 500 trucks will be treating the city's streets by 6 a.m., Walsh said in a statement issued late Thursday, adding that two truck-mounted snowblowers would be available to clear the roads.
The Animal Rescue League of Boston is a multi-function, animal-centric place of humanity. Its three locations offer more than rescue and temporary shelter before the animals are adopted by loving families; they also provide spaying and neutering services, health and veterinary exams, behavioral screening and evaluation. Additionally, they offer vaccinations and micro-chip identification/registration to those they rescue and those they treat routinely as patients.
To spend time touring the well-lit, pristine facility in Boston is to spend time in a shelter of love. The shelter was founded in 1899 by Anna Harris Smith, a social worker who believed that caring for animals-in-need taught thoughtful kindness to families, communities, and even our nation, said ARL spokeswoman Ami Bowen.
