1. Love Them All, a foster-based dog rescue in Arizona, will open a brick-and-mortar location in Scottsdale. Christine Conroy, the rescue's founder, takes high-risk dogs out of county shelters or the Arizona Humane Society to help them recover and get adopted. With the opening of this new facility, she hopes to treat and have 600 dogs adopted. (FOX 10 News Phoenix)
2. Scottsdazzle has officially returned to Old Town for the holiday season. Residents will find decorations and twinkling lights across town, helping to celebrate the holiday season for the seventh year in a row. There are exciting events happening this year for Scottsdazzle, including the Sugar Plum Tea Party and a performance by magician Craig Davis. A full list of upcoming events can be found here.

3. A Phoenix boy is asking for a heart this holiday season, and community members from Scottsdale and the surrounding areas can help. Benjamin, 14, was born with hypoplasia left heart syndrome, and after numerous surgeries over the years, his only remaining option is a heart transplant. To help raise money, the family is raffling off donated Christmas Day Cardinals tickets and team swag. The family also welcomes donations to their GoFundMe page. (FOX 10 News Phoenix)
