Welcome to Marion Animal Resource Connection or MARC!

We are a non-profit group of volunteer citizens concerned about the welfare of animals. MARC was created to assist people and animals in Marion County Tennessee in living more humanely and to help ease the social burden of too many stray dogs and cats.

Through its directors and volunteers MARC provides education for children and adults about humane care and treatment of animals. MARC helps connect people with affordable spay/neuter procedures to begin decreasing the number of unwanted and costly litters. MARC works with county and town governments to prevent needless killing of impounded dogs and cats.
MARC works with individuals and other animal groups to try to find good homes for unwanted dogs and cats.

MARC is not a shelter.  We can save only the number of animals for which we have foster homes.  We are a resource to help Marion County residents find safe places for stays, dumped, and unwanted animals.  Residents who call MARC for help will be encouraged to foster the animals while we work hard to hopefully find a place to which the animals can relocate.

Together we can and are making a difference in the welfare of animals and lives of people in Marion County TN.

Come join us!
