AFTER 2,512 DAYS… GILBERT IS HOME!

Some dogs find their families quickly. Others take a little longer.

And then there are dogs like Gilbert, who remind us that sometimes the greatest gift we can give a dog is simply time… and the promise that we will never stop believing their family is out there.

Gilbert first came to Mackenzie’s on October 16, 2019, a mischievous 10-month-old puppy with his whole life ahead of him. And then somehow, those months turned into years.

For 2,512 days, Gilbert grew up at the sanctuary.

Until We Meet Again

Over the weekend, we had to say a heartbreaking goodbye to our aloof, goofy, and deeply loved friend, Thor.

After months of bravely battling an aggressive cancer, Thor experienced a rapid decline in his health. His foster family, who loved him wholeheartedly and gave him the forever home he deserved, was faced with an incredibly difficult decision after witnessing two weeks of unpredictable changes. One moment, Thor would be his energetic self—zooming around the house, digging new holes in the yard, and keeping everyone on their toes. The next, he would be exhausted, unable to leave the couch.
