Thor's Story

Thor is a fitting name for this big hunk! Much like the Marvel hero, he is handsome, strong, adventurous, and totally hilarious! Thor is just a big lug-of-love that needs a bit of patience and guidance to help him continue his progression in the 'manners' department. He has an innocent and curious outlook on life, and has been working on keeping 'all-fours-on-the-floor' when he gets excited. Fortunately, he is treat motivated and has already learned several commands. Quite possibly the cutest of which, is when he is asked for his 'paw' for the "shake" command, it is more of a high-five slap than a shake! He would love to go to an active home that will take him on fun adventures! He is great with kids but would be best in a home with older kids as he sometimes forgets he is a big boy, and may accidentally knock over little ones. He has earned the nickname of 'Papa Thor' because he is so sweet with puppies. He has made several older doggy friends at MAS, and he would be happy to have a new canine sibling when he goes home! (No cats though!) His name is Thor, but he is the one looking for a hero. Thor has so much love to give, and there is no doubt that he is one of those dogs that leaves an unforgettable impression. If you are interested in adopting Thor, apply today! DOB - 10/13/2014 For safety's sake, we are looking for homes with physical fenced in areas. 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.

Our Mission

At Mackenzie’s, we rescue abused, abandoned, and neglected dogs from shelters and rescues across Michigan, giving them the second chance they deserve. Our work goes beyond rescue—we focus on carefully matching each dog with the right forever family, promoting spay and neuter efforts to prevent unwanted litters, and educatin...
