Grieving for a PetCan be more profound than grieving for a human. It’s the loss of a non-judgmental source of love. The parent, who has nurtured and loved the pet, may be inconsolable. This is especially true for elders, single people, or childless couples whose pet served as the main focus of their lives. ... See MoreSee Less

😸🛸 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 🛸😸You may not recognize me without those cinnamon rolls stuck to my head, but I assure you I am the one they call Laya (I had to change the spelling to throw off the stormtrooper internet trolls). I’d just as soon kiss a wookie than be in this kennel, but I needed a break after successfully battling the rebel resistance. Yes, I may be small, but I’m also feisty and I have the war wounds to prove it (like my lack of tail). I also have FeLV, which has weakened my immune system, but fortunately it cannot be transmitted to other species, just other non-FeLV cats. But hope is like the sun; if you only believe it when you see it you’ll never make it through the night, and that's why I hope someone out there will come rescue me again. Contact Stephanie at (865) 985-1543 or fill out an application online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt and may the Force be with you. ... See MoreSee Less

🧡👽 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 👽🧡 Who got named after the most famous (and cutest) droid in the galaxy? This guy, Artoo (or R2 if ya prefer)! The 5 of us creamsicle kitties came here after our momma left us, but we did okay on our own. I got paired up with one of my brothers, Threepio, who got named after the classier droid (which I don’t see, personally). It worked out great for us tho cuz we make a fantastic duo and entertain each other for hours before crashing together in our hammock. In fact, we're so adorable it may be hard to pick just one of us so why not take both of us? *MOL* Contact Stephanie at (865) 985-1543 or fill out an application at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt and may the furs be with you! #animalrescue #rescuepets #adoptdontshop #animals #cats #rescue #catsofinstagram #animalshelter #shelterpets #rescuecats #adopt #nokillrescue #nokillmaryville #nokillshelter #tennessee #fosteringsaveslives #maarcadopt #rescuefosteradopt #maarc #maarcanimals
🐾🤍 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 🤍🐾 Yes yes, I know I’m gorgeous. And some of you are probably thinking I don’t look like a shelter dog. But I do, because shelter dogs come in all shapes, sizes, breeds and colors. I came in as a stray in really pitiful condition, so I was either very neglected or on my own for a while. But now I’m cleaned up, fully vetted and ready for a new chapter. The volunteers here tell me all the time what a sweet girl I am, and I love all peoples. I’m good with smaller dogs, but big dogs intimidate me. I’m a pretty good size lady myself though, probably 70ish pounds. So do you want to write a wonderful story together? I’m so ready to live the good life! Call/text Al at 865-221-5767 or Lisa at 865-310-2599. You can also apply online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. Local adopters are given preference. #animalrescue #rescuepets #adoptdontshop #animals #rescue #dogsofinstagram #rescuedogs #animalshelter #shelterpets #dogrescue #adopt #nokillrescue #nokillmaryville #nokillshelter #tennessee #fosteringsaveslives #maarcadopt #rescuefosteradopt #maarc #maarcanimals

🐾🐰 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 🐰🐾 Here comes Peter Cottontail.. Hopping down the bunny trail... Arg that’s not funny! I’m not a bunny, I just have bunny ears. Okay, so my name is Kody and sadly I was just returned to MAARC after being in a great home for the last year. My people had to move and the new landlord said “No Pits!” Nevermind that I’m a super sweet gentle boy that loves kids and dogs. I couldn’t hurt a flea, well okay maybe a flea but nothing else. Anyway it broke my family’s heart, and mine. So here I sit in the scary shelter wishing I was literally anywhere but here. So if you’re in the market for a sweet gentle pitty boy, and don't have a landlord, come by and meet me. You can call or text Al at 865-221-5767 or Lisa at 865-310-2599. You can also apply online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. #animalrescue #rescuepets #adoptdontshop #animals #rescue #dogsofinstagram #rescuedogs #animalshelter #shelterpets #dogrescue #adopt #nokillrescue #nokillmaryville #nokillshelter #tennessee #fosteringsaveslives #maarcadopt #rescuefosteradopt #maarc #maarcanimals
