Hemi was adopted back in December. We have just been notified that Hemi will sadly be needing a new home. The pet policy at the apartments where he lived has been changed, and poor Hemi had to leave. The family adore him, said he’s the best dog, but are unable to keep him. Hemi is about 3-4 years old and does well with people, kids, and dogs. Please call Lisa at 865-310-2599 or apply online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. “Ruff* Hi my name is Hemi. I ended up at this shelter place a couple weeks ago with my friend Ivy. Ivy just got adopted.. I is sooo happy for her, but now I’m really hoping to get adopted myself. I hear forever homes is the shiznit! Anyway, see my pretty golden brown eyes? Look deep into my eyes… You want to adopt me. You. Want. To. Adopt. Me…. Did thats work? Do you wants to adopt me now? If not and you want to find out how great I am on my own merits then please call or text Al at 865-221-5767 or Lisa at 865-310-2599. You can also apply online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt.” ...

😸🫘 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 🫘😸Well, golly gee, folks! I never expected to be here, or be named Goober, but one thing’s for sure - you’ll never find me wearing a whoopee hat. Go ahead, look it up. I’ll wait... *whistling the Andy Griffith theme* You back? Cool beans. OK, so I am kinda happy-go-lucky but I don’t like anyone sneaking up on me so I’ve been known to hide when someone new (human, cat, dog, etc.) startles me. I also miss my momma and I’m a little sensitive about that. So if I hiss at you, give me a second to catch my bearings and then I'll turn into a regular ole lug nut of kitty cat. If you wanna drop by the shop...er, shelter to meet me, then contact Stephanie at (865) 985-1543 or fill out an application at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. See ya, Mayberry...er, Maryville! ...

🐾💗 REMI UPDATE 💗🐾Sweet Remi has been with us for months, adoption always eluding her due to her reactivity with other dogs. Enter Shane Hawkins, with Troubled to Trained, who has been working with her for the last week for intensive on site training. He’s been sending updates all week, and the news could not be better! Remi has had great success learning how to obey commands, managing her reactivity with other dogs, and just spend some time figuring out how to be a dog. We would love to get her into a foster or forever home when she returns from training. The shelter is not a good environment for dogs just back from training, for concern they will back slide. If you think you might be the next spot on Remi’s 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. ... See MoreSee Less
