🍙😸 SASHIMI IS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 😸🍙 ** CURRENT ALCOA PETSMART RESIDENT**Should I be worried I’m named after a type of sushi fish? I mean, I eat fish sometimes so I’m finding that a little weird. Plus I just read that Sashimi isn’t really sushi cuz it doesn’t have any rice in it. I think I got a raw deal!!! *MOL* Tell you what - if you adopt me you can call me anything you want so long as you call me to dinner. Actually, you don’t need to call me cuz as soon as I hear the can opening I'll be at your feet like a moth to a flame. *MOL* So if you want to add a cute tiger kitty to your life, text Cheryl at (865) 755-5392 or fill out an application at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. ...

🐾🖤 LAVERNE IS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 🖤🐾Woof!! Laverne here to tell you about me and my bestie Shirley. We are a couple of sweet, goofy, lovable girls. We were having a great adventure on the streets of Maryville, now we’re having great adventures within the walls of the shelter. The very best is when we get to go outside together in the backyard and play! We love playing.. with everyone.. peoples, each other, toys, other dogs. We’re super easy going, and while they think we’ve been together a long time and would love to see us adopted together, we would likely do fine on our own as well. We’re young adults, maybe 2-3 years old and fully vetted. If you are powerless to our shy sweet smiles and really want to know more about us call/text Al at 865-221-5767 or Lisa at 865-310-2599. You can also apply online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. ... See MoreSee Less

🐾🚨 SKYE IS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 🚨🐾Skye has had a difficult life. We don’t know what she has been through, but we know it has affected her ability to trust. All of our volunteers have worked individually with Skye to gain her trust, in some cases it only took a matter of days where others took weeks. She has a heightened sense of stranger danger, but once you get past her walls she loves big and she loves hard!! She is with other dogs much the way she is with humans, she plays great once she knows them and feels safe. Due to her fear Skye can be somewhat unpredictable, therefore would need a quiet home without a lot of visitors of the human or canine variety. Skye has made a lot of progress while we have worked with her in the shelter, we feel confident that she will make even more progress in a home environment. But before she can she needs a person that believes in her and is willing to work with her. If you think you might be the one to continue Skye on her journey, please call/text Al at 865-221-5767 or Lisa at 865-310-2599. You can also apply online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. *Skye’s Adoption Fee is Sponsored* ... See MoreSee Less

🐾💗 CLARA IS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 💗🐾Hi folks. I’m looking for those people that have a heart for seniors, or maybe you’re a senior yourself and don’t want to commit to a younger dog. See I have found myself in the unfortunate position of landing in a shelter in my later stage of life. I’ll tell you my story, or what I know of it anyway. I belonged to some people that probably thought they could backyard breed some pitbulls and make easy money. Unfortunately they were probably successful, but as soon as I was past my time of bearing young I was set out to fend for myself. So here I am. I’m about 9-10 years young and despite my history I adore all people! At first I seemed to do well with other dogs, but when I got into a foster home I was really growly with the other dog. So I may or may not do well with another dog, a meet and greet beforehand would be necessary. And perhaps a way to keep me separated. If you think you have the heart to adopt a super sweet senior please call/text Al at 865-221-5767 or Lisa at 865-310-2599. You can also apply online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. ... See MoreSee Less
