New Hanover County school board working on solutions to address overcrowding

[WECT] - Schools in New Hanover County are quickly overcrowding, and leaders will need to consider big improvements to keep up.

According to numbers from a third-party study the board commissioned, 26 of the 43 schools in the district are overcrowded, including three out of four of the high schools. That means those schools are at least at 96% full.

Adopt a Pet

Siberian Husky

This approx. 3 year old neutered male Husky is very food motivated. He does need at least basic training and has not really been interested in the toys we have tried working with him.

He can be vocal at times like most huskies are.

Please make sure you really know this breed.

If you have another dog, a meet and greet is required
