Dozens of animals are safe this Christmas thanks to the work of Animal Rescue Corps.
Rescue crews traveled to Missouri after finding 36 dogs and five cats living outdoors in wrecked trailers without proper care. Five puppies were found dead. Animal Rescue Corps said the case involved an elderly caretaker without electricity or running water who was overwhelmed caring for dumped and homeless animals. Crews said he walked about a quarter mile each day to get water and went without so he could buy food.
The animals were taken to the rescue’s emergency shelter in Gallatin for care before being put up for adoption.

Here’s a story offering a great example of how a common cause, and a little creativity, can “intersect” to improve quality of life. Our South Nashville reporter Patsy Montesinos shares how some neighbors decided to take action, following the tragic death of a 77-year-old in a hit-and-run along Antioch Pike earlier this year. See how they used “tactical urbanism” to make the area a little safer for all.
