Lincoln's Story

Lincoln is the kind of dog who makes life feel a little quieter and a whole lot sweeter. He’s mellow, gentle, and has a calm, steady presence that makes you feel like everything is probably going to be just fine.<br/><br/>People are Lincoln’s favorite. He genuinely seems to believe that everyone he meets is a friend he simply hasn’t gotten to know yet. He welcomes new people with the same soft, happy attitude every time, whether they’re familiar faces or complete strangers. Kids, adults, visitors... Lincoln is always happy to say hi and make another friend.<br/><br/>These days, Lincoln is quite content with the slower side of life. He enjoys leisurely strolls, sniffing around the yard, and finding a soft place to stretch out for a good nap. He’s an easygoing companion who is happy to share in the ordinary moments of the day, whether that means taking a walk, relaxing in the sunshine, or simply settling in for a cozy afternoon.<br/><br/>He’s also a gentleman of simple tastes. A little attention, a gentle booty scratch, maybe a tasty morsel from a kind hand... Lincoln knows how to appreciate the finer things. He’s a smart boy, too, and we think there’s no reason an old dog can’t learn a few new tricks.<br/><br/>For as mellow and easygoing as Lincoln is in just about every other part of life, other animals are a different story. Lincoln needs to be the only pet in his home; seeing other dogs or cats is genuinely stressful for him. A peaceful setting where he can enjoy his own space with his people, take leisurely walks, and settle in for a nap without the commotion of other animals would suit him beautifully. With the right environment, Lincoln can simply be himself: a gentle old soul with so much love to give, happy to soak up the same kindness he gives so freely to his people.<br/><br/>We know there’s a special kind of happiness waiting for the person who brings Lincoln home. If his gentle, easygoing way of looking at life sounds like the kind of companionship you’ve been searching for, submit an adoption application through the MAS website below and take the first step toward bringing this sweet old soul home.<br/><br/><br/>DOB 12/01/2017<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.
