Your Gift of just $9.70 provides a full day of care to one of these homeless animals. Become a Monthly Donor Today ~ www.maarcadopt.org/donateEach year approximately 6 million dogs and cats enter shelters nationwide. Roughly half of those will be euthanized, not due to poor health or aggression issues but simply due to lack of resources. At the Maryville Alcoa Animal Rescue Center we are committed to saving these innocent lives, all of them - not just some of them. We believe every animal deserves a chance at life. Our dedicated team of volunteers works around the clock caring for every animal that enters our system with not only housing, feeding, cleaning, and vetting; but with training, love, and socialization.

🍙😸 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

You may not recognize me without those cinnamon ro You may not recognize me without those cinnamon rolls stuck to my head, but I assure you I am the one they call Leia (I had to change the spelling to throw off the stormtrooper internet trolls). I'd just as soon kiss a wookie than be in this kennel, but I needed a break after successfully battling the rebel resistance. Yes, I may be small, but I'm also feisty and I have the war wounds to prove it (like my tail). I also have FeLV, which has weakened my immune system, but fortunately it cannot be transmitted to other species, just other non-FeLV cats. But hope is like the sun; if you only believe it when you see it you’ll never make it through the night, and that's why I hope someone out there will come rescue me again. Contact Stephanie at (865) 985-1543 or fill out an application online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt and may the Force be with you. #felvcats #felvawareness #felvcatsofinstagram #felvpositive #felv+ #specialneedspet #specialneedscats #adoptablecats #adoptables #maryvillealcoaanimalrescue #maryvilletn
***SPECIAL NEEDS SENIOR KITTY IN NEED OF FOSPICE O ***SPECIAL NEEDS SENIOR KITTY IN NEED OF FOSPICE OR ADOPTIVE HOME*** So I had everyone here at MAARC stumped cuz I'm kinda petite and look fairly good for my age cuz they thought I was 2 years old, not 12. Maybe my harlequin mask threw them off (hence my name Harley Quinn -- who I hear is a *ehem* colorful comic book super-villain). Anyhow, what they knew for sure was I was a cuddle bug who came in wearing a frayed collar and far too many fleas after being discovered wandering around a school. I mean, it's bad enough getting dumped at my age, but in a junior high school??? How rude! What's worse, one trip to the vet showed that I'm missing a few of my teeth and I'm in advanced kidney failure which...well, it ain't good. I'll need to be on medication and prescription food for the rest of my days...which may be many, or not, depending on how well I do now that I'm getting the proper care. If you have extra room in your home and your heart, please contact Stephanie at (865) 985-1543 to discuss fostering or adopting this old calico gal. If not, you can contribute to my medical care by going to https://maarcadopt.org/monetary-donations. #specialneedspet #adoptarescuecat #adoptaspecialneedspet #adoptaseniorpet #adoptaseniorcat #calicocat #calicosofinstagram #rescuecats
I betcha you're wondering how I got the name TicTa I betcha you're wondering how I got the name TicTac. Well, me too. Nothing against the candy, but I'm not small or minty so I don't see the correlation. I may be in tiptop shape, but they better not make a TikTok video of TicTac in a tutu cuz that's where I draw the line. If I could hold a pencil, anyway. So let's recap: I'm a non-minty kitten named TicTac and I need to get adopted so I can get a new name. Contact Cheryl at (865) 755-5392 or fill out an application at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. #grayandwhitecat #grayandwhite #catsofinstagram #catstagram #tictac #rescuecats #petsmartadoptions #adoptdontshop #makeamaarc #maryvillealcoaanimalrescue #maryvilletn #alcoatn #rockfordtn #friendsvilletn #louisvilletn #wallandtn

UPDATE: Sadly this girls injuries were too severe. UPDATE: Sadly this girls injuries were too severe. She passed away peacefully this morning at the ER Vet. Attempts have been made to track down her owners, but so far Animal Control has not been successful in locating them. ***URGENT*** Dog hit by car near Rockford Walker Court and South Singleton Station. She is being transferred to UT. Please call 865-681-2241 for more information or to claim.
***ADOPTED*** Hi there Maryville! My name is Wasi ***ADOPTED*** Hi there Maryville! My name is Wasilla, but I'm not a mush dog or from Alaska (you'd see me a mile away in the snow!). I was picked up wandering the streets, all hot and bothered cuz it was summer and I was...ehem...looking for love in all the wrong places. But now I'm here and everything's hunky dory and I'm in a much better mood. I even stopped hissing at other cats. Well, depends on the cat, and the one doggo I've seen was more afraid me than I was of him. So if you want a mushy (see what I did there?) black kitty to call your very own, contact Stephanie at 865-985-1543 or fill out an application at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. #adoptablackcat #blackcatsruletheworld #wasilla #blackcatsrule #adoptdontshop #makeamaarc #maryvillealcoaanimalrescue #maryvilletn #blountcountytn #alcoatn
Pardon me for the not writing my bio sooner. I was Pardon me for the not writing my bio sooner. I was busy raising 6 littles and then one thing lead to another and I totally forgot about it (guess I need a new publicist). So as you can see I'm a chocolate point siamese with crystal blue eyes. But what you can't see is that I'm also a Hemingway with a few extra toes, as if I wasn't extra special enough. But don't hate me cuz I'm beautiful. Adopt me cuz I'm sweet as molasses and have been here far too long already! All you have to do is contact Cheryl at (865) 755-5392 or fill out an application at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt and all this beauty can be yours to gaze upon and fawn over furever! #hemingwaycatsofinstagram #hemingwaycat #hemingwaycats #polydactyl #polydactylcatsofinstagram #polydactylcats #thumbelina #catstagram #rescuesofinstagram #maryvillealcoaanimalrescue #maryvilletn #alcoatn #blountcountytn #makeamaarc
