MARYVILLE ALCOA RESCUE CENTER MARC INC

Dear potential volunteers,

As a group of citizens living in Maryville and Blount County, concerned about the welfare of animals, understanding the opportunities and challenges facing animals in our community and wanting to make a difference, we have formed MAARC or Maryville / Alcoa Animal Rescue Center.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO AN EXCEPTIONAL VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE

We plan to develop a volunteer program that will be both enriching for the volunteers as well as the animals. It will require an application, orientation, a conversation to decide where volunteers are best suited, and development to help them grow and become integral members of our staff. Volunteers help spread awareness of our rescue’s missions and goals, and positively represent our beliefs and philosophies.

BRINGING THE ANIMAL COMMUNITY TOGETHER FOR A COMMON GOAL

This starts by reaching out to our neighbors, the many remarkable private animal shelters, rescue organizations, veterinarians, and boarding facilities here in Maryville and even beyond. We have already made connections with several groups and are receiving very positive feedback because they too know our City, our citizens and our animals are better served when we work together. Join us and elevate a no kill shelter to a no kill community!

Sincerely,

The MAARC Team
