🐾🎃 Happy Howl-o-ween from MAARC! 🎃🐾

Wishing everyone a safe, sweet, and spook-tacular Halloween!
Whether you’re handing out treats, dressing up with your furry goblins, or curling up with a black cat for a scary movie night, we hope your day is filled with magic and a little bit of mischief. 👻✨

Remember:
🍬 Chocolate + pets = no treat! Keep the sweets out of paws’ reach.
🔮 Black cats, hounds, and “spooky season” pets deserve love all year long!
🧡 The real treat? Adopting, fostering, or supporting local rescues.

From our boo crew to yours…
Happy Halloween! 🐈‍⬛🦇

🏈 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.

Lunker is living proof that it's never too late for a glow-up.

At 9 years old, this lovable Lab is embracing a new chapter after losing his beloved person and the only home he’s ever known. Now on a mission to trade belly rolls for ball chases, Lunker is adjusting to a healthier lifestyle—though he’s still lobbying for extra snacks between his new-and-improved walks. He’s polite with other dogs, adores his toys (especially anything he can attempt to fetch), and pours on the love like an old pro. If you're looking for a gentle, goofy companion with a heart as big as his belly used to be, Lunker’s your guy.

Lil Jon’s world turned upside down when he lost his beloved owner, and this 3-year-old Rat Terrier/Corgi mix is still finding his footing. He’s a timid little soul who’s trying his best to understand all the changes around him. While our volunteers are helping him feel safe and loved, Lil Jon’s heart needs something only a real home can provide — peace, patience, and gentle care. With time and understanding, we know this sweet boy will rediscover joy and learn to love again.

🐾 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. 💕

✨ Meet Felicity! ✨ 🖤🤍

At 8 years old, this gorgeous tuxedo girl had her whole world turned upside down when she was surrendered through no fault of her own. While shelter life is a big change, Felicity is already showing her sweet personality—chatty, affectionate, and so ready to love again. 💕

What she really wants is a calm, cozy home where she can finally soak up all the attention and affection she’s been missing. Could you be the one to give Felicity her happily ever after? 🏡
