Meet Chamomile.
 
Chamomile is a 2-year-old who, for almost 450 days has been at the shelter, in a foster home and now lives at PetSmart. While leaving her foster home and getting used to being in a kennel again has been an adjustment, Chamomile enjoys people watching in her new temporary home. As a volunteer favorite, her human friends have described her as “soooo soft” and “quite playful - especially with string!” Chamomile is very alert and not shy. She loves all her humans well! Although small and docile dogs are okay, Chamomile would prefer to be the only cat in the home. You should know that Chamomile previously had a diabetes diagnosis, but with the right food and good exercise, she is in remission and healthy! She will make a fantastic companion and lap warmer and will be grateful for her furever home. 

If you are interested in Chamomile or any of our other dogs and cats looking for furever homes, visit our website for more info and to fill out an application. You can also apply to volunteer, become a monthly donor, or learn more about MAARC at www.maarcadopt.com

Skye is a 4–5-year-old sweetheart that has been at the shelter for just under a year. While Skye is a definite Volunteer Favorite, it takes a while for her to warm up to new people, especially men. She is nervous to trust people and has a side-eye that usually looks like she’s warning people to stay away. Unfortunately, we don’t think the side eye means anything negative and she gives it to all her favorite humans and dogs. Over the last several months, volunteers have worked tirelessly helping Skye get over her fear of new people, men, and other dogs. She is warming up quicker than she used to with humans, and she plays extraordinarily well with most dogs that come to the shelter. Sadly, for Skye, her best fur friends come and go and leave her behind. The best home for Skye is most likely one that:

-Has a female owner that she can trust and if a male is in the house, he needs to be patient.
-Probably does not have children as she loves her people so well, we think she would be best with 1 or 2 favorites.
-No cats or other pets other than maybe a dog that we can introduce to Skye at the shelter
-New owners that are going to be willing to visit the shelter more than once to get to know Skye on a different level than most adopters.

The Maryville / Alcoa Animal Rescue Center (MAARC) is a grassroots, 501c3 No Kill rescue group that partnered with the Maryville City Shelter (MCS) in 2018. We are 100% volunteer operated and our dedicated team works tirelessly around the clock caring for EVERY ANIMAL that enters our system. When an animal is surrendered to MCS or an Animal Control Officer acquires a stray, MAARC assumes ALL CARE for that animal immediately.

MAARC provides: 
- A warm, safe shelter
- Daily meals and exercise regardless of weather or holidays
- Daily cleaning of kennels to keep the animals safe and healthy
- Proper vetting for all animals including spay/neuter, all vaccinations, and emergency care
