Mackenzie’s Open HOuse!When: August 17, 2019 • From: 11:00 am to 2:00 pm • Where: Mackenzie’s Animal Sanctuary

We hope you will join us at this year’s event where we will be celebrating 20 amazing years of helping dogs in need! Last year we had over 300 people and 81 four-legged friends in attendance! This is an amazing opportunity for the public to see the sanctuary, meet staff, say hello to past adopters, take a tour, meet adoptable dogs, and celebrate the hundreds of homeless dogs that have found forever adoptive homes because of supporters like you.

We will have exciting raffle prizes and a silent auction that you won’t want to miss! You will be able to grab a bite to eat by ‘Let Us Cater’. They will once again be serving ‘Yesterdog’, good’ole fashioned hotdogs with all the sides. For updated information on this event, and to RSVP, please visit our website today mackenzies.info. We can’t wait to see you! Sneak Peek: We have two tickets to the Miranda Lambert concert on 9/18/19, Section 108 Row A!

Ways to Help: We are always in need of dog treats, paper towels, Clorox wipes & laundry pods. Please help the sanctuary by bringing one of these items to the event… or anything else that is on our ‘Wish List’ which is located on our website. Thank you – we appreciate it!

Looking for a Forever Friend?

Look no further, here are just a few of our dogs that are looking for their forever homes.

Mackenzie’s Animal Sanctuary is excited to share that we now offer canine physical rehabilitation services for our sanctuary dogs! Canine physical rehabilitation is beneficial to help dogs heal after a surgery or injury, control pain in chronic arthritis patients, build strength in elderly patients, and blow off excess steam in our high energy dogs.

One of the greatest benefits of canine physical rehabilitation in shelter dogs is helping scared dogs heal and build confidence as they learn new exercises with their rehabilitation team! We are pleased to be able to enrich the lives of MAS dogs with this new service!

Rehabilitation is an approach to healing and strength building that requires patience, dog training skills, and problem solving in order to convince the dogs to perform their needed exercises. For example, dogs like Willow may take a few weeks to even build up enough confidence to walk into the treadmill. Cole, however, was very excited about checking it out and using it the first time we asked. And, then we have dogs like Scarlet who started therapy at Cascade Hospital for Animals after her first cruciate was repaired. She is a pro at rehab and has made starting rehab at MAS after her second cruciate surgery a bit easier for the staff who are learning this new skill!

The rehabilitation department at MAS will continue to grow slowly and deliberately.

continue our efforts!

Happy TailsWhat HOME looks like

Out of the 111 dogs adopted in 2018, 16 of them called Mackenzie’s their home for a year or longer. We make a commitment to each and every dog, that we will be their ‘home along the way’ for as long as it takes, no matter what. We strive to find the families that could accommodate their individual needs. By definition, a sanctuary is a safe haven, and that is what we are for the dogs that find their way to us.

Here are the happy faces of the 16 dogs that were given the gift of time because of you and your support. We thank you, the families thank you, and most importantly the dogs thank you for helping them along the way…

saving lives!
