Yoda's Story

Yoda may experience the world a little differently, but that certainly has not stopped him from enjoying every bit of it! Yoda is deaf and has learned sign language commands to help him navigate the world around him. Because he cannot hear what is happening around him, he does best with people who are willing to slow things down, get his attention, and give him a chance to understand what is being asked of him. Once he knows you, though, he is ready for all kinds of fun!<br/><br/>Yoda is an energetic, social guy who loves having things to do. He loves exploring, romping around the yard, and playing in the water, and he would make a fantastic adventure companion for someone who enjoys an active lifestyle. A hike, an afternoon of exploring, or simply finding fun ways to keep his busy body and mind occupied all sound pretty great to Yoda.<br/><br/>And when Yoda gets excited to see someone he knows and loves, you will know it! His signature celebration is a hilarious whirlwind of zoomies, spinning around and around your feet like he is orbiting his very own planet. He also has plenty to say despite being deaf, expressing his big feelings with the funniest little chortles, chirps, and whiny noises. Yoda is a goofy guy with a whole lot of personality, and he is sure to keep you entertained.<br/><br/>Yoda is social and has made several doggy friends at MAS, and he has also lived with a cat before. He can be an enthusiastic fellow, though, and because he cannot hear the vocal cues other animals use to communicate, he may not always realize when they are asking for space. He can be quick to assume that excitement means an invitation to play, so he will do best with animal companions who are comfortable with his personality and a person who is willing to help him navigate those interactions.<br/><br/>Yoda is not a dog who wants to sit on the sidelines. He wants to be involved! He can become overstimulated when he has too much excitement without the right outlet, so he needs a dedicated person who is willing to give him structure, keep him engaged, and help him settle when needed. In return, you get a dog who is eager to participate, ready for adventure, and genuinely excited to be part of your life.<br/><br/>For all that energy, Yoda has a very affectionate side and loves attention from the people he knows and trusts. He wants to have fun with you, explore with you, learn with you, and then soak up some affection when the adventure is over. He has plenty to give to the person willing to meet him where he is and take the time to understand how he communicates.<br/><br/>Yoda wears his heart on his nose, and he has plenty of love to share. He is looking for someone who will embrace his quirks, keep him moving, and give him the guidance he needs to be his very best self. If you think you might be the person Yoda has been waiting for, submit an adoption application through the MAS website to start the process of meeting him.<br/><br/><br/>DOB: 5/1/2021<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.
