Scooby is a four year old lab mix weighing 92 pounds who is looking for a forever home after spending most of his life at Mary's Dogs Rescue and Adoption.

He enjoys car rides and soccer but needs a quiet home without other pets or small children because he takes medicine for separation anxiety and mild joint stiffness.

Former pro wrestler Tony Elias opened Rice & Beans 603 at 241 Main St. in Nashua to serve classic Puerto Rican dishes and late-night street foods until 2 a.m. on weekends, and he runs the shop six days a week while crediting his longtime team and loyal customers for his success—his menu highlights favorites like mofongo and empanadas.

On Saturday, three DMV offices held special hours to help people apply for a Real ID before the May 7 deadline.

Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month officially began in the Granite State when Gov. Kelly Ayotte signed a proclamation on Friday with members of the New Hampshire Motorcyclist Rights Organization and the Motorcycle Safety Task Force.

Seabrook accountant Gary Albert meets this income mark but still struggles to find a home and does not want to renew his lease.

At Delta Dental Stadium on Friday night, the New Hampshire Fisher Cats defeated the Portland Sea Dogs 8-2 after a five-run inning built their lead.
