Previously, you had to have two acres in order to produce your own fresh eggs in Red Bank.

Owners are to build chicken coops at least 25 feet from the nearest property line.

Report: Tennessee has nearly 87% save rate for shelter dogs and cats

Best Friends sixth annual pet lifesaving dataset gives a national overview of the number of dogs and cats that enter and exit shelters each year. The group measures shelter lifesaving with a metric called “save rate.”
A 90% save rate is the nationally recognized benchmark to be considered “no-kill,” factoring in that about 10% of pets who enter shelters have medical or behavioral circumstances that warrant humane euthanasia.
