Barkley's Story

Some dogs demand the spotlight. Barkley doesn't.<br/><br/>He's the kind of dog who quietly becomes your favorite part of the day. Whether he's happily chewing on one of his favorite toys, trotting around the yard to see what's going on, soaking up the sunshine outside, or joining you for a leisurely walk, Barkley knows how to enjoy life's simple pleasures. With his easygoing personality and just the right amount of spunk, he's the perfect mix of playful companion and laid-back best friend.<br/><br/>Barkley is friendly, potty trained, and ready to settle into a home of his own. He enjoys affection and companionship but isn't the type of dog who needs to be the center of attention every second. He's just as happy hanging out nearby as he is accepting a few pets before curling up for a well-earned nap.<br/><br/>Like all great friendships, Barkley's bond is built on trust and respect. He does best with people who understand his boundaries, listen to his communication, and will advocate for him when he needs it. In return, Barkley offers the kind of companionship that's easy to appreciate: a loyal, steady presence and a genuinely good dog to have by your side.<br/><br/>Barkley is looking for an adult-only home where he can be your one and only dog. While he has made some canine friends during his time at the sanctuary, he'd prefer not to share his home with another dog. Cats, on the other hand, are just fine by him, and he could happily live with a feline companion.<br/><br/>After waiting far too long for his forever family, Barkley is ready for the simple things he's been hoping for: a comfortable place to call home, a predictable routine, plenty of sunny spots to lounge in, and people who are committed to loving and advocating for him.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a loyal, easygoing companion who's just as happy enjoying a quiet afternoon as he is heading outside for a stroll or some sunshine, Barkley might be exactly the dog you've been waiting for.<br/><br/><br/>My D.O.B. is 7/22/16.<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.
