Piloting our vision will be two locations in one of the top 10 pet friendliest cities in the nation. Filled with its abundance of outdoor activities and pet events you will not be disappointed. As Knoxville Tennessee has grown, it is ranked in the top 50 cities to live in the country [1]. Our first location is in North East Knoxville as the growth in this area is substantial. We have chosen an area in the heart of the community away from the highly congested commercial center for you and your family. Tennessee’s moderate climate and highly affordable cost of living are just some of the many driving reasons behind the influx of newcomers. Tentative start date for new hire for the date of completion is between January and March 2021.
