PetSafe® Announces Winner of the One Knoxville SC Mascot Search

Jul 25, 2023

Watch the new adventures of Sweeper as he begins to fulfill his duties.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., July 25, 2023 -- 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. We take that mission seriously and are so proud to help crown the first, official mascot for One Knoxville SC and create fields of joy for players, pets and families alike. 

We are so excited for Sweeper to become the official mascot for One Knox. Fans submitted over 1,000 votes, and we are happy that we have matched the best dog for the best home. Ultimately, we want every dog to find their perfect, forever home.

Each dog that was a candidate for mascot has a wonderful story and love to give. If you're inclined and able, please go to Young Williams Animal Center and inquire about these adorable, adoptable dogs or any one of their other 200 pet residents.

Now, for the next few weeks, Sweeper will work with The Dog Wizard in training to be the best, most enthusiastic, mascot possible and fans can follow along via a six-part content series launching later this summer. While some skills he'll learn are specific to being a mascot, many are the same as a well-trained family dog would learn like healing while running with the team, shaking hands, coming when called, and being patient when needed.

Fans and families can follow along with the series and learn tips and tricks to unleash joy for their family and pets or simply to watch the new adventures of Sweeper as he begins to fulfill his duties.
