Can we hear a round of a-paws for April’s Dogs of the Month: Penny & Chewie!

Penny is a 12-year-old beagle rescue from Virginia! She and her mom moved to Georgia in 2018, and she loves the amount of chipmunk chasing she can do here in Duluth. Chewie is a 6-year-old beagle rescue who is extremely cuddly and loves to snooze in the warm sun when he’s not being mischievous, stealing any food left out. Penny & Chewie’s humans said they love walking to Downtown Duluth and getting lots of pets from neighbors! Sounds like if you see this duo around town, you should stop and give them a pet!

For their dedication to helping keep our waterways clean and local ecosystems intact, Tiger Tails Animal Hospital has partnered with us to offer a great prize pack to our Dogs of the Month.

Take the pledge and your pup (or pups) may just be featured as our next Dog of the Month! DuluthGA.net/PetWastePledge

We’re so grateful to share these moments with you and look forward to more events like this in the future!

Stay tuned for more exciting happenings in Downtown Duluth!

Duluth’s Main Street just got a little brighter—and more educational! The City recently unveiled stunning new storm drain art in front of the Duluth Public Library, designed by Atlanta-based artist Brianna Gardocki. City leaders, including Mayor Greg Whitlock and Councilmembers Jamin Harkness, Marline Thomas, and Manfred Graeder, joined the Duluth Public Art Commission, Explore Gwinnett, and the City’s Stormwater Department for the big reveal.

These eye-catching murals do more than add beauty to the streets—they serve as an important reminder that only rain belongs in the drain! This project raises awareness about stormwater pollution and the role we all play in keeping our waterways clean.

Check out the new artwork next time you’re in Downtown Duluth and join us in protecting our environment!
