🌱 Riverhead Daily: Meet Sunshine & Boris + Who's Hiring? + No Cash

Happy Tuesday, people of Riverhead! Diane Witek here to help you get this day started. Here's everything worth knowing around town today.

First, today's weather:

Cool with clouds and sun. High: 55, low: 48.

Here are the top stories in Riverhead today:

1. New dogs, cats and pets are available for adoption in the Riverhead area. Meet SUNSHINE, a green-eyed, adult, female, domestic short hair cat; or if it is a pup you are looking to snuggle with, then meet Boris, a male puppy, mixed breed looking for his furrever home. Or you may consider fostering. Offering a needy animal a safe, comforting and supportive environment while she waits to be adopted, helps socialize a shelter pet to enhance her adoption potential. (Riverhead Patch)
2. Who's hiring in the Riverhead area? This week, the listings for openings are very diversified, from child care to personal assistants. You will never know unless you take a look and see what might be right for you. Check out ZipRecruiter, to help in your job hunt.(Riverhead Patch)
