Hello and happy Tuesday! I'm back in your inbox this morning with the most important things happening locally. Enjoy...

First, today's weather:

A p.m. thunderstorm in spots. High: 85 Low: 68.

Here are the top five stories today in Dallas-Hiram:

1. Are you on the hunt for a new job? There are a lot of companies looking to hire in and around Dallas. RangeWater Real Estate is looking for a new Leasing Consultant and U.S. Electrical Services, Inc. is looking for a Sales and Operations Trainee. Learn about these jobs, plus other available opportunities, at the link. (Dallas-Hiram Patch)
2. A new kitten at the Kitty Up Cat Rescue in Dallas is in need of funding. The teeny-tiny rescue was left on someone’s farm in a box. Full vet care for the kitten costs $100, plus the Dallas rescue urgently needs items such as non-scented baby wipes, fleece blankets, AG premixed formula, and more. More information on how to donate is available at the link. (Kitty Up Cat Rescue)
3. Tomorrow, Aug. 24, join Paulding County Parks and Recreation and its consultant, Pond and Company, to discuss the potential for utilizing the areas surrounding the Richland Creek Reservoir. The 1,015 acres surrounding the County’s new reservoir offer the opportunity for long-term passive recreation use on the land that will serve as a natural buffer to this new source of drinking water. Come share your input during the Paulding County’s Richland Creek Reservoir Passive Park Master Plan Recreation Use, Programming, and Planning Meeting at the Burnt Hickory Park Community Center at 6:00 p.m. (Paulding County Parks, Recreation & Cultural Affairs)
4. Do you recognize this dog? Paulding County Animal Control shared a photo of a dog that was found off of the Hiram Douglasville Highway, in the area of Browns Court, off Ritchfield Dr. Click the link to see the photo of the lost pup, along with other lost animals who are looking to return home.
