A local
network of animal lovers is on a mission to get dogs out of the winter cold.
Three very
lucky six-week old puppies will get to sleep in a warm home with loving foster
families tonight instead of the vacant home from where they were rescued by a
neighborhood by a network of East Nashville neighbors called East C.A.N. that
used social media to get the word out.
" I saw they needed some help rescuing some
puppies from under an abandoned house," said Megan Myers, East C.A.N. volunteer.
When Myers and several other volunteers showed up, they they found a mother and seven
puppies altogether.
Sunday night, not all of them had been found and rescued, but after two
days of searching, four of them had been taken in.
"To know
that they're in warm houses for the night and on their way to being adopted and
finding homes forever is a great thing," Myers said.
Myers says
while East C.A.N. works to find stray or abandoned animals homes year-round, they
really step up their efforts when they know the weather could be deadly for
these furry friends.
That's something great about East C.A.N.,"
Myers said. "Especially when it gets colder they're looking for those dogs that are just
chained up and they're offering to those neighbors something to keep the dogs
warm or if they're looking for a foster home for those dogs and then to find a
forever home for those dogs."
And while East C.A.N.'s mission to bring more and more animals out of the cold
continues, they say they can only keep so many, and now more than ever, they
need other families to step up and give them good homes.
"When you
can save a dog who was rescued just the other week from under an abandoned house, I think that's something
that's really special and unique and you know you saved a dog s life," Myers said.

Take-out beer allowed again
May 25, 2013 19:58 GMT
MARYVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A change in state law means that officials are no longer cracking down on restaurants selling takeout craft beer.
The Daily Times (http://bit.ly/Zl8y7f) reports the new regulations mean the Smoky Mountain Brewery in Maryville is now serving "growlers" again. Growlers are jugs filled with draft beer that customers can take with them when the leave.
State regulators began cracking down on the practice earlier this year, which led to complaints from restaurants and patrons.
The Copper Cellar family of restaurants stopped selling takeout beer in all four of its East Tennessee locations for a time, but made changes in some locations that allowed sales to resume before the new law was passed.
Now, all their locations are able to offer the beer for off-site consumption.
