Maryville/Alcoa Animal Rescue Center

❤️🐾AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THROUGH MAARC 🐾❤️

Charlie is such a sweet good looking boy! He only wants a few things out of life; a big fluffy bed, a best friend, and a home of his own. Unfortunately he has none of these right now, and he’s waited very patiently. Are you the one to make his dreams come true? Charlie would do best in an active home with a strong owner. No young children. He is about 2-3 years old and weighs around 50 pounds. Charlie is UTD on shots and neutered.

If you want to make Charlie’s dreams come true, please text Al at 865-221-5767. You can check out Charlie on YouTube here ~ youtu.be/AwggN5cIgeE

SPECIAL ONE DAY ONLY KITTEN ADOPTION EVENT

~This event will be open to pre-approved adopters by appointment.~

We currently have 50+ kittens in foster care and/or residing in our new facility that are in desperate need of finding their furever homes. That said, MAARC will host its inaugural adoption event Sat, July 11th at our new facility located at 410 Home Ave in Maryville in which 20 kittens will be present for potential adopters. We are blessed to have been given the opportunity to form a collaborative relationship with the City of Maryville who also recently purchased and refurbished a new property and has graciously allowed MAARC to utilize this facility to not only to provide daily care for animals onsite but also will evolve into an Adoption Center in the coming months. That has been the vision and mission since forming Maryville/Alcoa Rescue Center 2 years ago and why the acronym includes “Center” in its name! And no conversation in 2020 is complete without mentioning COVID-19. Yes, it has presented challenges in regards to cat adoptions but we feel we have crafted a safe and simple approach to enable our community to both meet as well as adopt some of our tiniest feline furbabies while continuing to support our “No Kill” mission.

MAARC Kitten Adoption Event
BY APPOINTMENT ONLY

Maryville/Alcoa Animal Rescue Center

🐾💜 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THROUGH MAARC 💜🐾

Miss Beatrice is a really well behaved loving girl. She is a young adult maybe 1-3 years, and weighs around 60 pounds but that won’t stop her from wanting to be your lap dog. She is good with other dogs, untested with cats or children. She has a very passive personality, but not fearful. Beatrice is spayed and up to date on vaccines. If you are interested in meeting her please call or text Al at 865-221-5767.

Maryville/Alcoa Animal Rescue Center (MAARC) is a 501c3 No Kill rescue group partnering with the Maryville City Shelter in East Tennessee.
Instagram post 2342294558867929417_10873391870 This poor girl was picked up Saturday evening. We don't know where because it's not noted, but if you recognize her, and even if you don't, please share her for reclaim. She's at 426 Home Avenue quivering from fear. The hours are 1PM-6PM today through Thursday as the 4th is observed on Friday. Call 865-681-2241 for more information. #animalrescue #rescuepets #adoptdontshop #animals #cats #rescue #dogsofinstagram #rescuedogs #catsofinstagram #animalshelter #shelterpets #rescuecats #dogrescue #adopt #nokillrescue #nokillmaryville #nokillshelter #tennessee #fosteringsaveslives #maarcadopt #rescuefosteradopt #maarc #maarcanimals
Instagram post 2342164983085112769_10873391870 UPDATE: ON 72 HOUR TRIAL We’ve got a new kid on the block. His name is Ozzie and he’s only about 7 months old. Sadly he was surrendered because he killed a turkey - it probably seemed like a fantastic toy to him, he just didn’t know any better. So Ozzie will be needing a new home, perhaps one without chickens and/or turkeys. He’s a sweet fun little guy, about 30-35 lbs, and probably won’t get much bigger. He is available for immediate adoption at the Maryville City Shelter, located at 426 Home Avenue. They are open Monday - Friday 1-6pm and Saturday 10-1pm. Call 865-681-2241 for more information. #animalrescue #rescuepets #adoptdontshop #animals #cats #rescue #dogsofinstagram #rescuedogs #catsofinstagram #animalshelter #shelterpets #rescuecats #dogrescue #adopt #nokillrescue #nokillmaryville #nokillshelter #tennessee #fosteringsaveslives #maarcadopt #rescuefosteradopt #maarc #maarcanimals

Instagram post 2341042440626485569_10873391870 You may have heard that our cats are now residing in the new building? It’s exciting! A local vet donated some great kennels but we need more bowls for the cages. We’re asking for 20 8oz (about $10 each) and 20 16oz (about $12 each) stainless steel bowls. We’ve added them to our Amazon Wishlist if anyone can help out with these the kitties will thank you!!
