If you want to feel better, move better, and look refreshed—this is one local spot worth checking out.

The paper clip may seem like a tiny, ordinary office supply—but its history is surprisingly complicated.

Walking more each day is an easy way to refresh your body and mind.

The “Step It Up” approach encourages small, steady increases in movement, offering benefits from better circulation to a brighter mood—no fancy gym required.

For many, hours spent sitting at desks, driving, or on screens leads to fatigue and low energy.

Just a few extra steps can improve heart health, reduce stress, and help joints and muscles stay flexible.

You can add movement by taking brief walks after meals, parking farther away, or even strolling during phone calls.

Starting with only five minutes can be the spark to build a lasting habit.

Leaving walking shoes where you see them keeps the goal front and center.

Supporting your well-being really can be as simple as stepping it up—one easy walk at a time.

Still Looking For A Loving Home

Hanna Banana is a lively puppy found with her brother in Sherwood Park, both in need of care.

Initially underweight, she’s now thriving, thanks to attentive foster care.

Thought to be a collie, shepherd, and husky mix, Banana is highly intelligent and affectionate.

She adores cuddling, learning quickly, and delights in puzzle toys while still working on manners like counter surfing.

Banana’s gentle nature and skittishness suit a patient family, ideally with another dog and a backyard to play in.

Force-free training and older children are ideal to help her build confidence.

Spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated, she’s ready for her forever home.

Groups like NASAP and Heart Prints Dog Rescue Society are devoted to local pet adoption and care.

Neighborhoods such as Heritage Hills and Foxboro offer plenty of space for pets in Sherwood Park, making puppy adoption a rewarding choice.

Still Looking For A Loving Home

Meet Boots, an affectionate domestic short-haired kitten rescued from an abandoned field with his mother and siblings.

This little adventurer, famous for his tall white “cowboy boots” and unique sole patch, is known as the “Texas Walker Cowboy” for his playful leadership.

Boots is eager to find a foster-to-adopt family ready to give him a forever home—and maybe even welcome one of his siblings too.

He’s adaptable, social, and will soon be neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated, including for rabies and FRCP, on December 8.

The adoption fee covers spay/neuter, vaccines, parasite treatments, FIV/FeLV testing, a vet checkup, and any extra veterinary care.

Boots can also get along with cat-friendly dogs with proper introductions.

Apply to adopt Boots and help this spirited kitten find the loving family he deserves.
