My name is Sir Hector and I would like to share a little bit about myself.

I'm 100% a happy goofy guy - guaranteed to keep you laughing even on the most stressful days! But once I get all my "giddy's" out, I am a complete gentleman and love to just laze about soaking up your company. It truly goes to speak of my resilience, because before I came to MAS, I was in a home that was not good to me...and they threw me out like I was garbage. You know what though, I know better. One man's trash is another man's treasure, and I am definitely a treasure to be had! Though, the experience has made meeting new people a bit intimidating for me...I am hoping that somewhere out there, there is a family that understands. Preferably a family that doesn't have other pets...

If you are looking for a diamond in the rough, submit your adoption application for a chance to meet me and start our lives together!

❤Looking for Unconditional Love? Look no further......Say hello to Clovis!❤

Clovis is a charming 7-year-old terrier mix who has a super relaxed personality and loves being around people and kids. Whether it’s napping on a cozy bed or snuggling up on your lap, he’s all about those chill vibes and cuddles! Don’t let his easy-going nature fool you though, he still likes to have some fun! He loves playing fetch with his Kong balls or a durable squeaky toy, going for car rides, walks (he appreciates style and likes wearing a jacket during the colder months) and playing in the water in the summer months. He is more than ready to soak up all the love you have to give and will happily give it right back!

If you would like to adopt or foster Clovis, please visit www.mackenzies.info.

🏠🐾 Winnoch (formerly Stephanie) is living her best life! 🐾💕

Winnoch loves her daycare days at Scooties and has settled into car travel—though she’d probably prefer to drive, considering how often she rests her head on her mom’s shoulder to stare out the windshield. 😆 She’s a quiet girl, only barking to alert to visitors… unless there’s a Husky around. Let’s just say she’s not their biggest fan. But thanks to some serious desensitization work, she’s making huge progress!

Her quirky personality shines every day—like when she got a new chew tug toy for Christmas. She was having a blast until she accidentally whacked herself with the handle. She immediately put the toy in “timeout” on her bed and lay next to it, keeping a very watchful eye. 😂

We love seeing our MAS alums thriving in their forever homes! Keep the updates coming! 🥰

❤️🐾 Happy Friendship Appreciation Day! 🐾❤️

Today, we’re celebrating the bond we share with our loyal, loving pups who are always by our side through thick and thin. 🐶💫 Our dogs are more than pets—they're our best friends, our confidants, and our cuddle buddies. Whether it's a wagging tail or those sweet puppy eyes, they remind us every day that true friendship is unconditional.

Share a picture of your best friend below and let’s see those adorable faces that brighten our days! 🐾👇

Third Time’s the Charm, Right? 🍀

Archer has had his bags packed twice now, only to have his adoption plans fall through. But does he let it get him down? Not a chance! Archer dusts himself off, wags his tail, and keeps believing that his perfect family is still out there waiting for him. ✨🐾

Our adoption team is still working through some applications, but in the meantime, let’s send Archer all the good vibes! He knows the best things in life are worth waiting for—belly rubs, adventure buddies, and a home that’s truly his. So let’s help Archer find his perfect match! Wish him the best of luck and share his story. Maybe this time, it’s the one where he finally finds where he belongs. 💛🏡✨

🏆 And the award for Best Smile goes to… KODI! 🏆

Behind that winning grin, Kodi is still waiting for his big break—a forever home! In the meantime, he could use a little extra love from sponsors to help cover his care at MAS. Sponsoring Kodi helps provide him with the treats, toys, and medical care he needs while he keeps perfecting his cheese-iest smile. 😁🧀

We just know she’s got this—Meila, you’re going to make it official in no time! 🌟🐾 Let’s all cheer her on as she settles in and works her magic on her new family! 🥰✨

🐾 Pupdate Alert! 🐾

We just got the cutest update from our boy Beacon—now known as Bacon! 🥓🐶

His family says he’s been the best boy—calm, mellow, and fitting right in! His new sibling, Shadow, is absolutely obsessed with him. The two are inseparable—playing tug of war, napping side by side, and having a blast together outside. 🐕💕🐕

Bacon has already mastered "sit", "lay down", "free", "come", and even “no” (though we bet he’s not a fan of that last one! 😉). Crate training is still a work in progress, but this smart pup is catching on fast!

We’re so happy to hear that Bacon is living his best life! 🥰
