Rosko's Story

Rosko is a special boy who has figured out that life is much better when you spend it surrounded by love.<br/><br/>Rosko is blind, but he certainly doesn't let that slow him down. He's a sweet, affectionate boy who loves leaning into his people for attention, soaking up affection, and finding the coziest possible spot for a good snuggle.<br/><br/>And when Rosko decides it's cuddle time... well, personal space is simply no longer a thing. He'll happily roll around in your lap, wiggle his way into whatever position feels coziest, and settle in like he has every intention of becoming one with you. Apparently, the perfect lap is less of a place to sit and more of a full-body experience.<br/><br/>Rosko came to us alongside his little sister, Pinkie, and the two have enjoyed spending time together here at the sanctuary. While Rosko has been comfortable with Pinkie, he has not yet been formally introduced to any other dogs, so we are still learning what his friendships with other dogs may look like.<br/><br/>As with all of our adoptions, if you have another dog at home, we will arrange a dog-to-dog introduction before adoption to make sure everyone is comfortable and that the dogs are a good match. We want every member of the family, furry or otherwise, to feel confident about the new addition!<br/><br/>This gentle senior has so much love left to give, and he'd love nothing more than a home where he can spend his days feeling safe, comfortable, and very, very loved.<br/><br/>Rosko may not be able to see the world around him, but he knows exactly what he loves—and that's being close to his people.<br/><br/><br/>DOB: 7 / 29 / 2020<br/><br/>For safety's sake, we are looking for homes with physical fenced in areas.<br/>Please fill out our online adoption application and 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.
