Captain is a smiley, happy, wiggly boy with an amazing zest for life! He is so happy and wiggly, in fact, that it’s nearly impossible to get good pics of him. Captain is good with other dogs, but he does need a home without cats. He is a young boy, around 1-3 years; and he’s on the smaller side at about 40ish pounds. If you’re interested in meeting Captain please call 865-273-3751 or TEXT Al at 865-221-5767.

💗🐾🐾 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THROUGH MAARC 🐾🐾💗

Dorian doesn’t even know how handsome he looks in his best holiday duds! All of us volunteers tend to pick favorite animals at the shelter. We are naturally drawn to some more than others. Well Dorian here is always a crowd favorite. He came to us from a sad situation, very withdrawn and fearful. He has spent some time in specialized training and it has made all the difference! Dorian now loves everyone, he does great with other animals with proper introduction. Dorian is about 2-3 years old, weighs around 60 pounds, and he has the most beautiful subtle grey/brindle coat.

To schedule a meet and greet with Dorian call 865-273-3751 or TEXT Al at 865-221-5767. ... 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.
Instagram post 2195264693334292862_10873391870 Dede shed her old name of Shivers as soon as she got out of the shelter. She is a testament to why foster homes are so crucial for some of our animals. She was terrified in the shelter, shivering in fear, but in a foster home she is a happy-go-lucky doggy! Dede is on the smaller side, about 20-25 pounds, and would make an excellent addition to your home. She loves everyone she meets; dogs, cats, and kids. If you’re interested in meeting Dede please TEXT or leave a voicemail for Al at 865-221-5767. 🐾 . . #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 2195257153863247327_10873391870 Freda has found herself in the unfortunate circumstance of needing a new home. She is a 5 year old spayed female. She seems quite sweet, but naturally is a little unsure of her new surroundings. She would be much happier in a new home! You can visit her at the Maryville City Shelter 426 Home Avenue Monday - Friday 1-6pm and Saturday 10-1pm. 😺💗 . . #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 2194758192152889072_10873391870 Dear MAARC MESSENGERS, As executive director of the Maryville Alcoa Animal Rescue Center, it is not just my civic duty to support the animals of our community and the volunteers who support them, but it is also my duty to point out that without the animal control officers, our ability to rescue ANY animal would not be possible. Regardless of decisions that are made in any situation, the Maryville Alcoa Animal Rescue Center has a mission to save the animals, while the animal control officers have a mission to uphold the law. We are in their municipally funded building and this is a partnership with a bigger vision. Our goal is to sustain no kill in a shelter who was no kill long before we ever came along. Inevitably, there are times that emotions run high, compassion is intense, and time is of the essence, but lest we forget that our rescue wouldn't exist without the ACOs have we done ourselves and the animals in our care a disservice. We don't have to agree on everything, but signing up for this partnership already means we agree on the value of animal lives. Let's keep that at the forefront of our minds as we move forward, and not let one situation prevent us from saving the many in solidarity. Thank you for your continued support for us, for our community, and for the animals. We are all eternally grateful. ~Jenn Eanes, Executive Director of MAARC
Instagram post 2186889878521216260_10873391870 I would say Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga sang a song about Shiloh here, but...they didn't. I just like the word play. (🎶 In the Shiloh...Shiloh. In the Shil-li-li-li-loh.....you're far from the Shiloh now....🎶) Shiloh is a little on the shy side. She is a cat, so I could be mistaking her shyness for indifference and feed me or get out of my face. Truly, though, a cat sometimes can't break the shyness in a shelter. There's just too much stimuli for them to get past. She is also FIV+. It's certainly not a death sentence, but a shelter can affect her immune system more so than if she were in a home. So, how about we share Shiloh with hope that a quiet home is recruited to break down Shiloh's walls of protection? You can see her up and close and personal at Maryville Alcoa Animal Rescue Center at 426 Home Avenue. Monday - Friday 1-6pm and Saturday 10-1pm And if you don't want to feel the indifference, better tell her how pretty she is. 😺💗 . . #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 2186886096919755920_10873391870 The stunning canine below is one of MAARC'S more splendid victories of 2019. Puppy Harper on the left was an intake through the Maryville City Shelter that we immediately rushed to Midland Pet Emergency, (when they were still open), with suspicions of parvo invading the tiny little Harper. (Thank you Emmaleigh Travis!) After Midland's lifesaving triage, we were able to transfer Harper to Big Springs Animal Hospital, (Thank you Autum Graham Childres), for continued and extremely attentive care. It was touch and go for many days, and we spent those days worrying that Harper wouldn't make it; but, it wasn't just the MAARC team....the public developed a love and concern for little Harper. They followed her story. They asked about her through all platforms. They donated to her care. Cut to today, and you see big, striking Harper!! Grown and healthy thanks to the team of people behind the scenes, the compassionate public, and her current, sensational adopters. As #givingtuesday arrives, keep Harper's story in mind. For it is the public's generosity in conjunction with our efforts that help animals like Harper live through their most harrowing moments. 🐾❤️ . . #maarcanimals #successstories #rescueddog #parvopuppy #parvosurvivor #givingtuesday #givingthanks #lookingback #maarcrescue #maarc #nokillmaryville #maarcadopt #happytails #wherearetheynow #nokillrescue #nokillshelter #maryvilletennessee
