Here are the top stories today in Mooresville:

1. Congratulations to Lake Norman Humane for being chosen as the recipient of a $5,000 grant from Mutts Across America, presented by Tractor Supply Company and Miranda Lambert’s Mutt Nation Foundation. According to a press release, "This grant is presented to one shelter or foster-based rescue in each state across the country. There is no application process and recipients are surprised when they are selected. Mutts Across America carefully researches and vets rescue organizations before honoring the grant. The selection criteria is based on high adoption rate, high volunteerism, fiscal responsibility, high activity/fundraising, community presence, website & social media presence and advocacy."
