🐾😍 FEATURED ADOPTABLE CHARLIE 😍🐾

Dear Doggy Diary,

I got to go for a walkie this morning, I love my morning walks. There are a couple new volunteers now who take me for walks so its super exciting meeting new people! They always tell me how cute I am, which makes me feel good. I sniffed all sorts of new stuff in the grass to see who else has been around. I think there is a new pibble in town that I sniffed. I did a goods peemail there to say hello, I hope he peemails me back! I’ll have to pull my walker in that same direction tomorrow. Oh I do loves peemail!! I heard some new dogs in the shelter too. Sometimes they are sad when they first get here. I’ve been here so long that I don’t feel sad anymore, I actually enjoy living here. Humans call me silly they say I would love a home so much better. Maybe there right. I dunno. Anyway i’m gonna have a happy smiley friday, cause Saturday is a big day here. Lots of adopters come through and I usually get to see another doggy get adopted and not be sad no more. Im looking forward to some yummy kibbles for dinner. Maybe I can get a peanut butter bone if I jump and smile really good.

Toodaloo!
Charlie

Charlie is a 2-3 year old 60 pound hound dog that needs a very confident owner. No young kids. Call or text Al at 865-221-5767 or apply online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. ... See MoreSee Less

😺 CAT (and a DOG!) ADOPTION OPEN HOUSE 😺

We will be open this Saturday from 12-4pm for our weekly Open House at 410 Home Avenue! No appointment necessary, just stop by to visit our adoptable cats! We are just beginning to get kittens coming in, you can stop in to meet them but they won’t be ready for homes for a few more weeks.

We will also have a special guest, Miss Ginger who was sadly just returned to us due to a family tragedy. Ginger is a 7 yr old chihuahua mix that is great with dogs and cats. She’s looking for a forever home, and the cats have graciously agreed to share the spotlight with her this week.

🐾💗 410 Home Avenue this SATURDAY 12-4pm 💗🐾

*We will be taking temperatures at the door and ask that everyone wear a mask. ... See MoreSee Less

UPDATE: ADOPTION PENDING

We have a newcomer to introduce to you all today! This is Paulie. We are told that Paulie is a boxer/pit mix, we of course can neither confirm nor deny that. We can confirm that Paulie has a super sweet gentle face, and he’s 100% awesome dog! He is scheduled to get his vetting done next week, so we would love to get him settled into a foster-to-adopt home.. to finalize his adoption after his vetting is complete. Paulie is just 6 months old, out of the crazy little puppy stage but still excited and energetic ready to please his person. He also fancies himself a lap dog. If you’re interested in Paulie please call or text Al at 865-221-5767 or apply online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. ... See MoreSee Less

Maryville/Alcoa Animal Rescue Center (MAARC) is a 501c3 No Kill rescue group partnering with the Maryville City Shelter in East Tennessee.
💗🐈‍⬛ AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 🐈‍⬛💗 Hi bipeds! My name is Biscotti, and like all good italian cookies I’m a little bit crunchy with a pleasant hint of sweetness. And I purr with an italian accent! Ever heard an italian purr? Sounds a lot like an american purr, but a professional experienced purr listener can discern the difference. Sometimes it takes a bit for me to warm up to new people, but canned food is the quickest way to my heart. Im about 1-2 years old, spayed and current on my vaccines.. sure glad I don’t have to get poked again for another full kitty year! Call 865-273-3751 or apply online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. #animalrescue #rescuepets #adoptdontshop #animals #cats #rescue #dogsofinstagram #rescuedogs #catsofinstagram #animalshelter #shelterpets #rescuecats #dogrescue #adopt #nokillrescue #nokillmaryville #nokillshelter #tennessee #fosteringsaveslives #maarcadopt #rescuefosteradopt #maarc #maarcanimals
Happy Tail!! Bilbo, like many of the cats that co Happy Tail!! Bilbo, like many of the cats that come into our care, had a personality quirk. She would hiss at anyone that approached her kennel, but if you ignored it and pet her anyway she was perfectly fine. As you can imagine it limited her adoption prospects though. But it didn’t hold Maggie back, and Bilbo seemed to appreciate that.. so a match was made! May they have many happy years ahead! #animalrescue #rescuepets #adoptdontshop #animals #cats #rescue #dogsofinstagram #rescuedogs #catsofinstagram #animalshelter #shelterpets #rescuecats #dogrescue #adopt #nokillrescue #nokillmaryville #nokillshelter #tennessee #fosteringsaveslives #maarcadopt #rescuefosteradopt #maarc #maarcanimals
JUDE HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!! Jude our longest cat JUDE HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!! Jude our longest cat resident has been adopted!! This family spent a good amount of time in our free roam room getting to know all the cats. When they eventually decided Jude was to join their family we couldn’t have been happier! He waited a long time, but it was all worth it. Happy Life Jude!! #animalrescue #rescuepets #adoptdontshop #animals #cats #rescue #dogsofinstagram #rescuedogs #catsofinstagram #animalshelter #shelterpets #rescuecats #dogrescue #adopt #nokillrescue #nokillmaryville #nokillshelter #tennessee #fosteringsaveslives #maarcadopt #rescuefosteradopt #maarc #maarcanimals
😸🖤 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THROUGH MAARC 🖤 😸🖤 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THROUGH MAARC 🖤😸 Look at me very very closely. I am a walking inkblot test. Thats a lot of pressure, but it’s my burden to bear. So when you look at my face do you see a flower, a balloon or a purple cow? If you see a flower that means you have plenty of love to share and would flourish with a newly adopted cat at your side. If you see a balloon that means you are struggling with loneliness, and I prescribe an emotional support cat. If you see a purple cow you are likely suffering some type of delusion and should prolly adopt a big goofy dog. Either way come visit me, we’ll get a long fabulously!
