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.

Houston brother will be his own attorney in court
June 18, 2013 13:02 GMT
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A Roane County man will face federal gun violation charges next month without an attorney.
The Knoxville News Sentinel (http://bit.ly/17VlXpM ) reported Rocky Joe Houston will represent himself on a charge of possession of a gun by a felon.
The charge came after Houston earlier represented himself in state court on charges stemming from a police chase. He was convicted of evading arrest and reckless endangerment.
Houston and his brother, Leon Houston, were tried, but not convicted, in the 2006 shooting deaths of a Roane County deputy and his ride-along companion.
In federal court, Rocky Joe Houston is claiming the officer who charged him with the felony had no legal authority.
