💗 Mazie: Mini But Mighty 💗

Meet Mazie, our pint-sized powerhouse! At just 9 weeks old, this adorable Pit Bull Terrier mix has already proven she’s got the heart of a giant. Affectionately nicknamed “Mini Me” for being the spitting image of her mama, Lilo. Mazie started life as the runt of the litter — but don’t let her small size fool you! With love and care from her amazing foster mom, Mazie has blossomed into a playful, affectionate pup ready to take on the world. She’s now looking for a forever home that will help her grow big, strong, and loved beyond measure.

🏈 Manning – Your Snuggle MVP 🏈

This buff-colored senior is named after Peyton Manning, and while he may be past his prime playing days, he’s still a champion snuggler. Manning is calm, gentle, and just wants a quiet home where he can curl up and be loved. He’s not flashy—just steady, sweet, and full of heart.

Manning is FIV+ (which means his immune system isn't great, but he can happily and safely live with other cats) and has Stage 3 kidney disease. He’s managing it well with a prescription diet and would love a home that can keep him on track with his care.

If you’re looking for a low-key companion who will always be in your corner, Manning is ready to be your forever teammate.

📱 For more information on Manning, text Ellery at ‪(629) 777-6850‬ or apply at maarcadopt.org/adopt.

🐾 Koda: Small Pup, Big Personality 🐾

Don’t let his 34 pounds fool you — Koda is a big dog at heart! This 2-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix is a playful, energetic little guy who loves making friends (even with dogs twice his size!). Koda came to us with his “brother” Roscoe and has been winning hearts ever since with his goofy zoomies and brave attitude. When he’s not romping around the yard, this pint-sized pit loves to burrow under a blanket for some serious snuggle time. Koda’s looking for a family who can keep up with his playful energy and make sure he never has to feel alone again. 💕

To learn even more about Koda, call or text Lisa at 865-310-2599 or apply on our website!

The MAARC Mission

Maryville / Alcoa Animal Rescue Center, (MAARC) is an all volunteer animal rescue group. Our mission is to rescue animals in danger of being euthanized in our local shelter, with a purpose of creating a safe, no kill community and eventually advancing animal welfare for animals in surrounding county shelters or beyond.

MAARC is extremely fortunate to partner with the Maryville City Shelter. The shelter staff and animal control officers work cohesively with our group to get animals adopted directly from the shelter.

Our page and any other social media avenue, is a critical piece of finding our animals permanent homes or foster homes. Look for us in the near future on petfinder.com and other adoption websites.

Visit our website at www.maarc-adopt.org, and please like our social media pages, which include, Instagram and Twitter, share the animals, and stay tuned for current and future events!
