Here are the top stories in Sunset Park today:

1. Sunset Park area pets are waiting to be adopted: Meet Bebe and more. "Bebe is a young adult German shepherd dog. The son of the flirty world traveler, Bebe," wrote shelter staff. Learn more. Whether you're looking for cuddles or companionship, one of these animals could be the perfect fit for your family. (Sunset Park Patch)
2. Who's hiring in the Sunset Park area? It doesn't matter if you are looking for full-time or part-time work, opportunities are still out there. Each week, Patch and ZipRecruiter put together a roundup of the latest local jobs posted in the region. (Sunset Park Patch)

4. On Feb. 24 the Brooklyn Heights Association’s held its 2022 annual meeting on Zoom. The event covered topics including the reconstruction of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, traffic patterns on Montague Street and local businesses’ continuing woes. “The BHA has not wavered in our determination to pursue a more responsible and sustainable solution to the problem of the BQE,” BHA President Erika Belsey Worth said. “We continue to work with our neighbors on the ‘BQET,’ which is the Coalition for the BQE Transformation.” She applauded legislation allowing metering which would identify overweight trucks automatically.

From our sponsor:
Looking for a healthy alternative to that mid-week glass (or three) of wine? Our partners at Betera set out to create beverages that were sophisticated and flavorful enough to drink at cocktail hour but with zero hangover risk. (Their motto is “Drink like there’s tomorrow.”) Betera's drinks are designed by a Michelin-starred chef using natural botanicals — they're lightly effervescent, sippable, refreshingly bitter and at home in a stem glass or in a highball on the rocks.

Betera offers three recipes — Rhubarb-Hibiscus, Elderflower-Lime and Ginger-Orange. We’ve tried all three and loved them equally — we recommend the mixed case as a great place to start. Betera has extended their 15 percent discount on first orders to Daily readers, in appreciation for the enthusiastic response so far. Enter Patch15 at checkout and https://bit.ly/TryBetera.
