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.

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
