Silas's Story

Silas is a big, silly, loveable guy who thrives on human connection. He’s happiest when he’s right by your side, whether that’s curling up for a long, cozy nap, following you around the office, or just enjoying quiet time together. Silas has a playful side that will make you laugh, but his true specialty is snuggling—he’s a master of cuddles and a steady presence who loves being involved in your day.<br/><br/>Because he’s a little particular about his space, Silas is best suited for an adult home, though he’s happy to spend time with kids under supervision. He does best with calm, confident dogs and is not a fan of cats, so a cat-free home is ideal. Silas is a loyal companion who thrives with someone patient and attentive, someone who understands dog body language and enjoys spending quality time together. His protective, watchful nature adds to his charm when guided with consistency and love. With the right person, Silas will be the ultimate affectionate partner, filling your home with cuddles, laughter, and devotion.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a dog who will fill your home with laughter, affection, and a whole lot of heart, Silas is your guy. Submit your application at the MAS website below and be sure to mention Silas — he can’t wait to settle in next to you!<br/><br/><br/>D.O.B: 6 / 18 / 2023<br/><br/>For safety's sake, we are looking for homes with physically 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.
