Averie's Story

Hi there, I'm Averie! I hear people-pleasing is supposed to be exhausting...but not for me! Being the young lady that I am, my potential is as high as your dedication. It is very satisfying to utilize this beautiful brain I have to make my friends (and my future family) happy. I won't lie to you; I can be a bit stubborn at times, but positive reinforcement and consistency will help me become the best version of myself.<br/><br/>You'll often find me splashing around in the pond here at MAS, getting my toes wet and having a blast. Toys are my absolute favorite, and I can't get enough of them. I'm always up for some fun and games, and I'd love a family that's just as active as I am. Who needs a television when you could have me to keep you entertained! My excitement is expressed in such a dorky way. I like to zoom around and try my best to impersonate a professional contortionist by folding over like a pretzel with my behind in the air! Because I can be a bit overzealous with my energy, I might be best suited for older children who have a sturdy stance.<br/><br/>I'm really excited to play with other dogs too, and a furry friend who enjoys a bit of rough-and-tumble would be perfect. But on a quick note—cats and I have agreed to a mutual "no thanks" policy. Let's just say, I'm not a fan of their sassy attitudes and they don't appreciate my enthusiasm. Meeting new people can make me a little unsure at first, but give me a moment, and I'll warm up to you. Once I do, I'm like a breath of fresh air, bringing positivity and joy wherever I go. If you're looking for a spirited, fun-loving companion who will keep you on your toes and fill your days with laughter, I'm your girl.<br/><br/>Don't wait too long—if you like it, then you should put a collar on it! Take the first step by submitting your adoption application at the MAS website below, and let's get this party started!<br/><br/><br/>DOB: 2/12/2021<br/><br/>For safety's sake, we are looking for homes with physical fenced in areas.<br/>Please fill out our online adoption survey at www.mackenzies.info/adopt/adoption-survey-application/

Mackenzies Animal Sanctuary's Adoption Policy
Mackenzie’s is a N0-KILL dog Sanctuary that is dedicated to helping abused, abandoned, and neglected dogs find forever, loving homes. We help (when room is available) other shelters and rescues before they have to consider euthanizing due to medical concerns, behavioral challenges, or lack of space. As a true “home-along-the-way” we are passionate about loving, advocating for, caring for, and getting to know each individual dog for the duration of their stay with us. Our adoption goal is to match applicants with their perfect forever dog based on personality, sociability, and energy level that suits your lifestyles. Our adoption program is very thoughtful and thorough to ensure both you and your new dog have a happy and successful relationship once you go home together. Adoption Criteria: Adoption visits are by appointment only. For safety’s sake, we require a physically fenced-in area. We DO NOT do same day adoptions, at least two adoption visits are required. Adopters must be at least 21 years of age. Established home dog(s) must be up to date on vaccinations. Established home dogs(s) must have an introduction to the MAS dog(s) you’re interested in. What to Expect from Our Program: The first step in adopting your new best friend is submitting your adoption application online. BE HONEST! Our application is designed to help the adoption team learn about you, your lifestyle, and what you are looking for to best match you with the appropriate dog. You will receive an email confirmation that we have begun processing your application. Once your application is approved, we will invite you and your family to visit the sanctuary and meet with the dog(s) you are compatible with. Upon meeting and spending time with the dog(s), we will go over their notes on behavior, health, and sociability. We believe full disclosure of the information we know is key to helping you make the best decision and finding the best fit for your family. Once you have narrowed down which dog is the right fit for you, a second visit will be scheduled. After the 2nd visit, we will provide you with additional information on your new forever friend (microchip details, rabies certificate, and their medical history report). We will also send home any medication(s) your new dog is currently prescribed, including their next dose of heartworm and flea/tick prevention. We will go over your new dog’s paperwork and answer any questions before finalizing the adoption! If you already have a dog(s) at home, we require a dog introduction at the second visit to ensure your new dog is accepted into your pack before going home. We take all the dogs on a short walk before going to a quiet building together to observe their interactions. Our trained staff will discuss a plan to help the dogs integrate for the smoothest transition into living together.
