Will - The Bridge

Thompson, a 32-year-old former Air Force medic, has made a name for himself over the years tending bar at some of Miami’s top restaurants and watering holes including Broken Shaker, Ball & Chain and, more recently, The Local Craft Food + Drink.

#FindMeAHomeFriday: Tootsie – The Local

Beef Jerky from The Local Craft Food & Drink in Coral Gables

This is Tootsie. She’s a tiny, beautiful girl around 6-7 years old. She’s full of love and enjoys getting and giving kisses! She’s considered special needs as her back legs don’t work so well. Tootsie is able to scoot around using her front legs and will hopefully be receiving her wheels soon! For more information on this sweet girl, visit her adoption page.
