KNOXVILLE, Tenn., July 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- PetSafe® brand has been unleashing joy for pets and their families since 1998.

To make their mission a reality, PetSafe announced today that they are partnering with One Knoxville Sporting Club (One Knox) to create fields of joy together for players, pets and families alike. In addition to proudly displaying the PetSafe name on the players' warmup jerseys, PetSafe is asking fans and pet lovers to help choose the first official One Knox mascot.
"For over two decades, PetSafe has saved over 11 million dogs from harm, and it is our mission to unleash a lifetime of joy for pets and their families" said Karla Attanasio, Director of Marketing for PetSafe. "It is a natural extension of that commitment to partner with a fantastic team like One Knoxville SC who put their hearts into every game played on their field. We are proud to help them select their official mascot, naturally, a dog, and help train that pup to be a shining example of both of our brands who will cheer and entertain crowds for years to come."
With help from Young Williams Animal Center (YWAC), the southeast's largest animal shelter, PetSafe will profile six rescue dogs from YWAC so fans can vote for their favorites. As we search for forever homes for all six dogs, one lucky pup will be chosen by fans to become the team's official mascot and will be placed in a loving forever home with a One Knox team member.
Following the official announcement of the mascot, fans will be invited to watch as PetSafe trains the fan-favorite pup to be the best, most enthusiastic, mascot possible and star in a six-part content series launching later this Summer.
Mascot voting opens on July 18th at 8:15 p.m. EST on the PetSafe official Instagram channel (@PetSafe) and voting will close on July 21st at 11:59 a.m EST.
