Here are four of the top stories in San Diego today:

1. Right now, California does not have an adequate mental health care response system. Now, California Governor Gavin Newsom wants to have a central location to provide community assistance, recovery, and empowerment. Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, San Diego County Board of Supervisor, and Mayor Todd Gloria, of the City of San Diego, are on board with this plan. Under the proposed Senate Bill 1338, first responders, service providers, health care professionals, or family members would have the power to refer a person to CARE Court. That person would then be evaluated by a licensed behavioral health👩‍⚕️professional. Further services may also be provided. CARE Court is a voluntary program, which offers a path to assistance and a way to avoid conservatorship. To learn more: Click into parenthesis, then click the link. (Patch)
2. Like many businesses in San Diego, the cruise🚢industry is facing a staffing crisis. To the chagrin of many who had planned to cruise on Princess Cruises, the line has now cancelled 11 cruises leaving from San Diego. The cruise line issued a statement explaining the situation: "Over the past year we have operated hundreds of cruises thanks to the tens of thousands of our Princess team members that have rejoined our fleet to deliver exceptional Princess vacations. However, like others in the global travel industry, we have experienced some labor challenges." Local businesses, such as hotels and eateries, are also adversely affected by the loss of business brought in by the cruise line. Of course, those planning to travel on the canceled cruises are extremely disappointed. If your cruise was canceled, check you cruise line for information on how to obtain a refund.

4. Dozens of beagles🐶🐶🐶will be coming to Gillespie Field in El Cajon on August 31. They have lived in cages all their lives. They have never had a home. They have been used for pharmaceutical research. They have now been rescued, and they will be prepared, and put up for adoption here in San Diego. Wondering if a beagle would be right for you? "Beagles are awesome dogs, that's why our very own Charles Shultz in California made the beagle America's dog with Snoopy, they're a great dog." said San Diego Humane Society President and CEO Gary Weitzman, a veterinarian. Check out these beagles and give one your love and its forever home. To learn more: Click into parenthesis, then click the link. (KPBS)

Our dogs are used for a variety of reasons. We have dogs trained in narcotics detection, explosive material detection, tracking, and apprehension.
