How handsome is this 3-year-old American Bulldog mix? Bowie was tied to a tree for his entire life, but not anymore! He is now in a loving foster home where he is learning to be a loved dog. Bowie has made great strides but does have some possession issues with toys and food, but he is working with a trainer. He does very well with other dogs and children. We do recommend older children since he is a strong 60-pound boy. Bowie will need a loving and patient family who will continue with his obedience training. He is a loving boy who deserves to have an amazing forever home!

More than one million people now attend the 17-day Big E, an annual autumn extravaganza of entertainment, exhibits and agriculture – the culmination of a visionary idea first expressed by Joshua L. Brooks at the beginning of the 20th century. Brooks knew that farming in New England was on the decline and that production costs were soaring. His hope was to create an Exposition that would provide demonstrations of new farming methods and establish competitive awards which would inspire farmers and their children to produce more efficiently and sponsor cooperative purchasing that would lower the farmers’ costs. Above all, Brooks believed in developing and showcasing an agricultural New England.

In April of 2019, Linda and Steve Chiarizio proudly took over ownership of Tangerini’s and are committed to preserving Mr. DeAngelis’ land and the sense of community at Tangerini’s Spring Street Farm. 139 Spring Street, Millis
