Stone's Story

Are you ready to rock and roll with the coolest canine in town? With 85lbs of good-boy energy, Stone is ready to rock your world and steal your heart with his stoic charm and playful antics! Stone may be wary of strangers at first, which comes with his role as your live-in neighborhood watch volunteer (he takes his duty very seriously), but once he gets to know you, he's the most rock-solid friend you could ask for. He is always on the lookout for his loved ones. One of Stone's favorite pastimes is adventuring the geological wonders of the great outdoors! Just don't forget his gentle leader, it helps keep his curious nature in check while exploring the terrain like a Boy Scout. But, it's okay with him if you want to skip the hike. Stone is happy to compromise, as he is a bit of a fetch fanatic. There are few things he loves more than chasing after a ball with boulder-busting enthusiasm, but beware – he's got a knack for turning those balls into slobbery masterpieces! You might want a few spares on hand just in case, unless you're content to rock the soggy look. But hey, it's all part of the fun! Stone isn’t all about zoomies and high-energy antics—he’s also a certified cuddle connoisseur! At the end of a fun-filled day, his favorite way to unwind is curling up with his humans for some prime belly rubs and smoochy showers. Snuggle time? Now that's the cornerstone of his perfect evening! When it comes to other furry friends, though, Stone has his boundaries set in, well... stone. Due to some past rough patches, he’s not the best fit for a home with other dogs. And cats? Let’s just say they rank somewhere between "totally unnecessary" and "definitely unwelcome"—kind of like a pebble stuck in a shoe. Stone is ready to rock a solo gig in a loving, pet-free home where he can shine as your one and only! Your epic adventure together is just a Stone's throw away! Submit your adoption application at the MAS website link below. Be sure to mention Stone's name to meet this diamond in the ruff! DOB: 01-22-2016 For safety's sake, we are looking for homes with physical fenced in areas. Please fill out our online adoption survey at www.mackenzies.info

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.
