East C.A.N. (Community Action Network)

East Nashville has always had an over abundance of animals roaming our streets. In an attempt to help the animals with as much speed and efficiency as possible a neighborhood effort was organized. Our mission is to make a positive and immediate difference for animals and people in East Nashville by facilitating neighbors helping neighbors.

Rescue FAQs

While our committment is to helping lost, stray, abandoned, and neglected animals in our own neighborhood once they are vetted and socialized we try to adopt them out all over the country.

Additional adoption info

We have a required application on our website that includes personal and vet references. We also do a pre-adoption home visit. There is a $150 rehoming fee for each animal and they are all microchipped. Please follow this link for more information https://www.eastcan.org/adopt.php
