Mocha the female boxer mix ☕Age: Around 3 years oldWhy I’m a 10/10: I really love my time in the yard playing with people and dogs.

I love my people well, so if you’re looking for a BFF, I’m your girl. 💕Quirks or Fun Facts: I have these super sad eyes, but I can’t help it. Mine are deceiving because I’m happy all the time and love to hang out with the volunteers!

Hi Humans, it’s one half of the history-making d Hi Humans, it’s one half of the history-making duo, Bonnie and Clyde. From what I hear, I think it’s utter nonsense that we were named after criminals, because I am quite honestly, the sweetest puppy to ever live. No one asked me, though so here are more (true) facts about me: I’m female and around 5 months old The experts think I’m a mastiff mix, probably because I’m already a medium-sized dog and my paws are… let’s just say they’re no medium anymore I’m a little shy and lost right now but I’m warming up quickly. I’m super-friendly to people and dogs and I’m eager to learn I’ll be spayed soon and I’m up-to-date on my vaccines! To learn more about me, call/text Al at 865-221-5767 or Lisa at 865-310-2599 or you can apply online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt.

Hi there, I'm Trisha. I was recently surrendered t Hi there, I'm Trisha. I was recently surrendered to the shelter for the ever-popular “housing situation.” I'm a big girl, though and I’m fitting in just fine. I'd like to go somewhere more permanent, so if you’re interested in a more mature gal, here is some more about me: 💐I’m around 4 years old, so mature but young enough to love and play 💐I love the long walks I get with volunteers at the shelter 💐I'll need to meet any canine siblings before you take me home, but so far here, I do well with the larger dogs 💐I'm spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations 💐My adoption fee gets you all of this and the best movie-watching buddy you could ask for! To learn more about me, call/text Al at 865-221-5767 or Lisa at 865-310-2599 or you can apply online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. #adoptdontshop #maryvilletn #alocatn #easttn #blackdogs #dogstagram
