Tinsel's Story

Tinsel is the kind of guy who likes to take a little time before showing you his whole personality.<br/><br/>When you first meet him, he is pretty easy to like. He's quiet, polite, and easygoing, with a very much "whatever you'd like to do is fine with me" kind of attitude. He'll happily go with the flow, take things in, and quietly accept being around you. He doesn't come charging into the room demanding to be the center of attention. In fact, you might initially think Tinsel is a rather reserved guy.<br/><br/>And then he gets comfortable.<br/><br/>That's when you discover that the quiet, polite gentleman you've been getting to know...has opinions. Quite a few of them, actually!<br/><br/>Tinsel can be a little sassy once he decides you're safe. He may become vocal when he wants a treat, some attention, or perhaps just wants to make sure you've noticed that he has a very important thought to contribute. It's almost funny because you don't necessarily expect it from him at first. But in a way, it's one of the sweetest parts of getting to know Tinsel. Those opinions don't really come out until he's comfortable enough to let you see them.<br/><br/>And once that personality starts coming out, so does his goofy side.<br/><br/>Tinsel is a cuddly, playful guy who loves being with his people. He enjoys a good lap, a good toy, a good play session, and pretty much any opportunity to tag along for the adventure. Car rides are a particular favorite, and he'd happily be your copilot whenever you're headed somewhere. He's an easygoing guy most of the time, but every now and then that little spark of sass or dorkiness comes out to remind you that there's a lot more going on behind that quiet first impression.<br/><br/>Tinsel isn't the dog who walks into your life and immediately gives you his entire personality. He's more of a slow reveal. First comes the quiet, easygoing guy. Then, as he learns that you're safe and he's home, comes the cuddles, the playfulness, the goofy moments, and yes... the occasional sass.<br/><br/>And getting to watch that transformation is a pretty special part of knowing Tinsel.<br/><br/>He's not trying to impress you.<br/><br/>He's just finally comfortable enough to be himself.<br/><br/>Think Tinsel might be your kind of guy? Start by submitting an adoption application through our website below and earn yourself a front-row seat to the sass, cuddles, and goofy personality hiding underneath!<br/><br/><br/>DOB: 2/6/2020<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.
