Mooresville Realty is proud to partner with the Town of Mooresville all year for their 150th celebration.

Here are the top stories in Mooresville today:

1. Congratulations to Officer Oldham who was recently honored with a 2023 Town of Mooresville Service Excellence Award for Excellence. Officer Oldham's nominator wrote that Oldham "goes above and beyond her normal duties to help victims of crimes in Mooresville," following up on information and making connections even when she is not the primary officer on a case "in order to help solve the cases quicker and get victims answers to their cases. Congratulations, Officer Oldham!" (Mooresville Police Department via Facebook)
2. Looking for a furry new friend? Check out the pets of the week; social butterfly Luka and five other dogs are looking for a place to call their furever home. All of these animals are available for adoption at Iredell County Animal Services, which is located at 430 Bristol Drive in Statesville. (Mooresville Tribune)
3. "Finding your next home shouldn't be a headache! As part of our weekly real estate roundup, we're bringing you some recently listed and interesting houses to hit the market in and around the Mooresville area. Keep scrolling to see what's been listed in your area." (Mooresville Patch)
