This is a page dedicated to helping support MAC’s lifesaving mission: Saving Animals; Helping People. It is designed to promote adoptable pets, engage our community in supporting animals in need, and provide information and resources for the pet-loving public. We encourage open discussion on our page and invite you to share your opinion on pet-related issues. However, if your comment falls into a

ny of the categories below, please be advised that we reserve the right to remove it:

-We do not allow graphic, obscene, explicit, or racial comments or submissions comments that support or encourage illegal activity or promote violence or comments that are abusive, hateful, threatening, or intended to defame anyone (including MAC employees, volunteers, or donors).

-We do not allow third-party solicitations or advertisements.

-We do not allow comments that grossly distort or are deliberately intended to spread misinformation about MAC policies, programs, or work.

-We do not allow comments that are completely off-topic or irrelevant to the subject matter at hand.

-We do not allow the circulation of photos that depict animal cruelty, since sharing these photos across the internet does more harm than good because it makes it harder to track down the originator (oftentimes this is a hoax and is being done for attention).

Meet Gordos 💛

This sweet boy has quietly become a staff favorite, and it’s not hard to see why. Gordos is a total lap dog at heart. If you sit down, he’s already halfway in your lap, ready to soak up all the love you’re willing to give (and then some).

He’s also a smart cookie who understands Spanish, which just adds to his charm. Talk to him, and you’ll see those ears perk right up. He’s always listening and eager to connect.

Gordos is full of love, the kind that feels easy and constant. He’s the type of dog who just wants to be near his people, whether that’s lounging on the couch or following you from room to room like your biggest fan.

As our Pet of the Week, Gordos can be adopted for FREE. He’s ready to head home and be someone’s loyal little shadow.

Update: Shamone has been adopted!

So… Shamone made her feelings about kennel life very clear 😅

We’ll admit, she had us a little intimidated at first, and even wondered if she might be a barn cat. But turns out? She just really values her space, and honestly, that’s valid.

Once she’s out and free, she’s a whole different cat. Shamone loves being around people, greets you with the sweetest little meows, and will headbutt just about every part of you for attention. Full-body pets? Don’t stop ‘til you get enough.

Loves the outdoors. Would do great indoors too, with space to roam and do her thing. Independent, but still all about her people.

So if you’ve been waiting for a sign… this is it. Shamone.

Come meet her now during Adopt-a-Cat Month 🐾

All dogs 35+ lbs = FREE adoptions at MAC.

This weekend was amazing, but our kennels keep filling up, and some of these sweet big babies have been waiting way too long.

Many of them have never truly experienced what it means to have a home. Some are familiar with couches, routines, and the role of being a best friend; they've just had to start over and are waiting for a second chance in our care.

They don’t know they’re not puppies… they just know they want love.

Paw Palooza is right around the corner, happening Saturday, June 13th. This one-of-a-kind day is packed with fun for pet lovers and pet owners across Chattanooga and beyond.

This year’s Paw Palooza is more than a festival; it’s a full celebration of pets, community, and lifesaving support for the animals at MAC. Gather your friends, come solo, or bring your pet and join us for a day full of energy, connection, and friendly competition. Our Givebutter platform makes it easy to rally your friends, family, and clients to support your fundraising goals.

🏆 Top fundraising teams and individuals will be in the running for exciting prizes, and every dollar raised directly supports the animals in our care.

✨ New this year: MAC Best in Show + fun contest lineup!
Think your dog has what it takes? Enter and compete for titles like:

• Wiggliest Tail
• Best Rescue Story
• Best Spots
• Best Costume
• Fastest Eater Contest
• Musical Sit

To enter, participants can:
• Raise at least $20 through fundraising for MAC (select “Be A Fundraiser”)
• Or pay the $20 entry fee

Every participant helps support homeless pets at MAC, meaning every dog is a winner. But one standout pup will take the ultimate crown as MAC Best in Show, awarded to the dog whose owner raises the most funds.
