Maryville/Alcoa Animal Rescue Center
🐾🌪 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 🌪🐾You’d think with a name like Storm I’d be bouncing off the walls and wreaking havoc wherever I go. Not true. At all. In fact, I’m more like a feather held aloft by a gentle breeze on a warm spring day. I’m like a hot cup of cocoa by the firepit on a crisp fall night. I’m like a dip in the pool on a humid summer afternoon. I’m like a soft pillow to cuddle with on a lazy winter morning. I’m basically a cat for all seasons and I’m waiting for the purrfect purson to take me home. So contact Stephanie at (908) 331-0462 or fill out an application at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt if you want to add a little Storm-iness to your life! ... See MoreSee Less

🐾😺 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 😽🐾So let’s address the elephant in the room. I am not a prince, nor a monarch, nor a tiger...although I think that’s where my might’ve come from cuz you see I was a loyal, protective pet and constant companion to my last human. It wasn’t entirely her fault that I got evicted from our home, along with my mother Lucinda and daughter Queeny, but I’m none too happy about it. That’s why I cry a lot here at the kennel. I miss my home and I hate that my beautiful little girl has to live here like this. I wish we could find a new home together so if you find it in your heart to rescue me, can you make room for her too? If so, text Stephanie at (908) 331-0462 or fill out an application at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. ... See MoreSee Less

😽🧜🏻‍♀️ AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 🧜🏻‍♀️😽Hello fair and gentle mortals! I’m Freya and I’m a little shy. And a little little. I’m named after the Norse goddess of love and fertility whose chariot was pulled by two grey cats. See, I had two grey kittens when I was rescued, but sadly they didn’t make it and losing them hit me pretty hard. I was depressed for quite a while, so much so I shied away from people which made them think I might be a feral kitty. But then some of the nice ladies at the shelter showed me with lots of affection and I now feel more like a goddess kitty and am I’m ready to restart my life. Call or text Cheryl at 865-755-5392 to set up a meet and greet or apply online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. ... See MoreSee Less

🍪😽 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 😽🍪 Oreo here...Wherever “here” is...I used to be “there” and then I was “here” cuz when I was “there” I wasn’t cared for very well. I don’t know why cuz I rarely make a fuss. In fact, I keep to myself mostly and like to sit back and observe the world from my little silver den. Maybe when I feel more comfortable in this place I’ll strike up a conversation with one of my neighbors, but for now I’ll just wait for someone nice to come by who prefers the strong, silent type that’s named after a world-famous cookie. If that’s you, just contact one of my keepers at (908) 331-0462 or stephanie@maarcadopt.org to set up meet & greet so I can get out of “here” and go live over “there” with you.

🐾🍀 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 🍀🐾 Hi my name is Lucky and I’m a Food-a-holic. On a more serious note though my name is Lucky, but I’m definitely not feeling very lucky right now. I was surrendered to the shelter yesterday and I’m just not feeling like it was a good career move. I’m looking for someone that can help me get back on the path of just being a dog. I’ve heard whispers about my weight already, and talk of a diet and exercise program. I can’t argue with ‘em.. I definitely a chonkers! Apparently a diet of human food isn’t good for a dog. I knows I would hurt less and have more energy if I lost some weight. Anyway, I’m about 2-4 years old and maybe a labby mix. Don’t ask my weight. That’s rude. Suffice it to say I’m not a small dog. Wanna be my fitness buddy? They say having someone to help you stay accountable is really pawportant. Call or text Lisa at 865-310-2599 or Al at 865-221-5767.

HAPPY TAILS!! Shelby and Sadie, the unfortunate HAPPY TAILS!! Shelby and Sadie, the unfortunate result of an unwanted litter, were surrendered to the shelter. One of our volunteers fostered them until they were able to find homes. Shelby’s forever home came first.. followed by Sadie getting a forever home just a couple short days later! May these girls live happily ever after.. never to be unwanted or forgotten again.
We’d like to give a shout out to the Cottages Ca We’d like to give a shout out to the Cottages Cades Cove apartment community! They wanted to do a holiday drive for us and collected all this just one week in. Many many thanks!! We couldn’t do what we do without the wonderful support of the community. 💗🎄 #animalrescue #rescuepets #adoptdontshop #animals #rescue #animalshelter #shelterpets #adopt #nokillrescue #nokillmaryville #nokillshelter #tennessee #fosteringsaveslives #maarcadopt #rescuefosteradopt #maarc #maarcanimals
🐾🤎 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 🤎🐾 Hi my name is Ella! I’m a one year old female chocolate colored Mini Australian Shepherd, and my people were absolutely devastated to surrender me to the shelter. They didn’t give a reason, but if I were to guess I suspect maybe I was way too high energy for them. Yes, I really am that high energy! I have a few requirements for my new home… I need a job, a fenced in yard, and preferably someone with breed experience. See a lot of people get dogs like me cause we’re so pretty, but they just aren’t prepared for how challenging we can be in the wrong environment. I mean aren’t all of us pretty ladies high maintenance?? If you meet all the requirements and want to watch me flourish for the rest of my life call or text Lisa at 865-310-2599 or Al at 865-221-5767.
