SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Many of the 108 Beagles that arrived in San Diego a few weeks ago are now settling into their forever homes and thriving.It was the greatest day ever when they got here on August 31, said Dr. Gary Weitzman, President and CEO of the San Diego Humane Society.In the few weeks that happened since then, they’ve nearly all been adopted.About 4,000 Beagles were recently rescued from a breeding facility in Virginia. They were to be sold to animal testing labs. It has been a nationwide effort to get the dogs into loving homes across the country.We didn’t know what to expect, these were animals that grew up in cages, said Weitzman. They lived their whole lives in cages, maybe had never been outside, never really been held by people.He said the 108 Beagles that arrived here weeks ago were given medical exams, microchipped, spayed, and neutered.

He says today, more than half of all abortions take place privately at home with pills often prescribed virtually sometimes even mailed to patients.Specifically, mifepristone and misoprostol which are the two medications that are used up to 10 weeks in pregnancy, he explained.The question now is will this be an option for women in states where abortion is banned?

But on Saturday, hundreds of volunteers joined him.Its really nice.

Claudette Powers has been missing for 37 years. Now, detectives have identified her remains and are trying to find out who killed her.She was my big sister. I mean, I looked up to her, said Laura Freese, Claudette’s sister.Powers grew up on a farm in Michigan with four sisters. Freese is the youngest of them; she says they were all pretty close.I just remember all that times, like have cookouts, or hog roasts on holidays or play baseball or softball out on the front yards, Freese said.Around 1983, Claudette moved to San Diego on her own. She was 21 years old. A few years later, she went missing.It was really hard,” Freese said. “I would ask my mom all the time, ‘Have you tried to find Claudette anymore?’In 1986, a couple found a womans body near a campsite on Los Coyotes Indian Reservation in Warner Springs. Detectives ruled it a homicide and worked the case for years, but could never identify the victim.She had no ID, no one reported her missing,” said Lisa Brennan, a homicide detective with the San Diego Sheriff’s Department. “The case

Researchers at the University of California San Diegos School of Medicine believe theyve found a potential cure to a deadly type of bacteria thats been linked to recalled eye drops.A couple of weeks ago the CDC got in touch with researchers at the Center for Innovative Phage Applications and Therapeutics at UCSD.The center has been working for the past five years to use bacteriophages to treat infections that antibiotics cant kill.What it means literally is bacteria eater, said Robert Schooley, professor of medicine in diseases at the university, while describing what bacteriophages are.Researchers say they were able to find a few phages that were able to kill the bacteria in the samples sent by the CDC. But they wont know for sure if its a breakthrough until its been used successfully on a patient.We don’t know whether all of the strains will be exactly the same strain or whether they will all be sensitive the same phage. But we think there’s a good chance that many of them, if not all of them will have at least one phage that will be active against the
