Happy Animal Shelter Appreciation Week!
*
Each year, during the first full week of November, The Humane Society of the United States (The HSUS) honors the incredible work of animal shelters and the compassionate individuals behind them.
*
At Mackenzie’s, we are dedicated to keeping our rescue dogs happy and healthy while they wait for their forever families. This week, we want to shine a spotlight on our amazing employees and the diverse roles they play in our rescue.
*
Every day, our kennel attendants start with morning tasks that include letting the dogs outside, feeding and medicating them, collecting samples, and beginning the cleaning routine for both indoor and outdoor runs. This involves picking up waste, toys, and bedding, scrubbing floors, sweeping up hair and food debris, and setting up clean spaces for our dogs. Each dog has its own personality and preferences, and our staff works hard to ensure everyone feels comfortable and loved.
*
After the morning routine, it’s time for enrichment activities! This includes special food treats, toys, playtime outside, and, of course, plenty of snuggles. Our staff also provides individual walks, tender care, physical therapy, and any necessary medical attention. And yes, there’s always more cleaning, laundry and dishes to tackle—it's an endless job, but our shelter workers handle it all with skill!
As the afternoon and evening roll in, feeding and medication schedules resume, outdoor areas are cleaned, and living spaces are tidied up to ensure a calm night for our pets. Checklists are meticulously followed to guarantee every animal has what they need, and staff make sure all doors are secured for a safe night. After completing any last-minute paperwork, our team says goodnight to the dogs, ready to start again the next day! A huge thank you goes out to our volunteers as well, their time and dedication in helping us with tasks and seeing dogs is truly a blessing.
*
Our adoption and volunteer departments also kick off their day early, returning phone calls and emails, processing applications, training volunteers, marketing, fundraising, preparing for adoption visits, promoting dogs on social media, writing bios, taking photos, and facilitating playgroups—all while helping ensure our dogs get the attention they deserve and stepping into different roles when needed.
*
Our accounting team is hard at work as well, processing donations, sending out receipts and thank-you letters, along with managing expenses.
*
Our medical department operates much like a regular veterinarian clinic, tirelessly working to keep our dogs happy and healthy throughout their stay with us. Here’s just a handful of things our medical department does on a daily basis: venipuncture, vaccine administration, IV catheter placement, prepping dogs for surgery, administering and monitoring anesthesia during surgery, caring for our dogs as they recover/wake up from their anesthesia, physical therapy, performing radiographs (of their body AND their teeth), safely restraining for their exam, dental cleanings, processing and examining f***l and urine diagnostics on a microscope to detect intestinal parasites or urinary tract issues, collecting/processing/examining samples of ear or skin infections on a microscope to detect infections/external parasites, dispensing medications, attending continuing education webinars/conferences after work and on the weekends so they can continue to grow their knowledge and learn about new medications/treatments/diagnostics/etc., the list goes on and on and on and on.
*
The items listed above provide a brief snapshot of our daily routine. However, the hard work, compassion, dedication, and love that fuel our sanctuary, along with the challenges and heartache we face, are difficult to fully express. Rescue workers are truly extraordinary individuals.
*
This past year has been challenging, but our team persevered and gave it their all. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone. You are all remarkable! Bravo!

Happy 1-year gotcha day to Luna Blue (formerly Specks)! Her family couldn’t be more in LOVE with their sweet girl 🥰 Luna Blue has blossomed in her new life, where daily walks, playdates with her doggy cousins Ryker and Duke, and snuggles with her best kitty friend Roscoe are all part of her routine.

Cletus & his puzzle feeder

While Cletus was waiting to be seen by our veterinarian, we kept his mind off things by letting him enjoy a puzzle feeder! Cletus is still waiting for a forever family, could it be you? Click here to read his bio https://bit.ly/3KN6LlZ Why do dogs need enrichment activities? The key to a happy and healthy dog is regular enrichment and allowing them to engage in their innate behaviors, such as playing, chasing, smelling, chewing, and scavenging. By allowing your dog to engage in these behaviors, you allow them to be physically, emotionally, and mentally satisfied.

Here's Indie Jr. showing off what he has learned. He truly is a sweetheart and is currently looking for a forever family. Click this link to learn more https://mackenzies.info/adopt/adoptable-dogs/

Adoption Pupdate on Adrian, now spelled Adrianne 💗 "Sorry just getting back with you but yesterday was such a busy day with work and then getting used our new fur baby that the day got the best of me and I lost track of time. Anywho … first and foremost; thank you so much for all those wonderful pics of Adrianne!! I will be starting a photo album for her because all the pictures are just absolutely cute!! The Christmas dress one makes me giggle every time I look at it and yes I look at them throughout the day cuz I’m an obsessed doggy mom now 😆 Adrianne is doing so good and she is so loved here. I can feel how happy she is and not just when she’s being spoiled but also when she’s just lounging around waiting for me to stop working. She seems so comfy with all of us already. She does sleep with me and follow me around the whole house. She will not leave my side and I’m more than ok with that. I have Adrianne lots and lots of snuggles for all of you cuz I know she misses you guys as much as you miss her. I promise she is doing great and I will continue to give you guys updates. I’ve attached some little videos for you to see how good she’s doing. She has a bed pad and a brand new crate but she prefers to sleep in my bed with me and I am absolutely ok with that. She keeps me nice and warm and I love it - snores and all 🥰"

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and we’re asking for your help on the ‘giving’ part. Special treats, such as soft treats, are something we don’t want to run out of, and our inventory is getting very low. For most dogs, soft yummy treats are a high value item…..meaning they are very motivated when soft treats are involved. They help us build relationships with fearful dogs, are a great reward when working on training, and are simply a nice little snack to give when spending down time in a ‘Real Life’ room or when saying good morning or good night. Please help replenish our treat bin by checking out our Chewy Wishlist below. Thank you again for supporting our efforts in helping rescue dogs in need! https://www.chewy.com/g/mackenzies-animal-sanctuary_b77216920#wish-list This video is of Akira learning “Leave It’ with a Kong Wobbler….she has a lot to say about 'leaving it', but listened very well as she definitely wanted the reward.

Wearing a muzzle can cause anxiety for dogs, that's why we do muzzle training. We don't want to cause unnecessary stress or fear is we don't have to.....Mouse has since been adopted and is doing amazing in his forever home! 💗
