Mistletoe's Story

Mistletoe is the kind of dog who does not believe in doing anything halfway.<br/><br/>Take her for a walk on the beach? She’s ready for a good time: chasing whatever catches her eye, soaking up the sunshine, and maybe indulging in a little mud facial while she’s there. Time for cuddles? She’ll be right there, leaning closer, wiggling her way into your space, and doing her absolute best to love you as much as physically possible. She is fun, affectionate, spirited, and wonderfully full of personality.<br/><br/>We think the right person is going to see exactly what we see in Mistletoe: a girl who is happiest when she gets to be part of the fun. She has a playful, enthusiastic energy and a zest for life that makes everything feel a little more exciting. She can be exuberant, and she has plenty of personality, but that is part of what makes Mistletoe, well... Mistletoe.<br/><br/>She’s looking for a home where she can be your one and only pet, and because her enthusiasm can sometimes be a lot, she would do best with older kids rather than tiny ones. She also has some allergies that are managed with a little extra care, but they certainly don’t stop her from enjoying life!<br/><br/>What Mistletoe really wants is someone who appreciates a dog who is fully present. Someone who wants a companion for adventures, a partner in fun, and a very enthusiastic cuddle buddy at the end of the day.<br/><br/>She has spent a long time waiting for someone to realize that her big personality might be exactly what their life has been missing.<br/><br/>Maybe you’re the person who has room for a dog who wants to be part of everything. A dog who is always ready for an adventure, always up for a good time, and always looking for a way to get just a little bit closer when it’s time for cuddles. Mistletoe is ready to bring all of that joy, affection, and personality into a home of her own.<br/><br/>If you can see yourself with a girl who lives life all in, Mistletoe might just be your girl. Fill out an adoption application to get started! She’s ready to find the person who will love her big, goofy, wonderful self right back.<br/><br/><br/>DOB: 8/27/2018<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.
