Guapa goes for a ride
A big thank you to one of our Volunteers, Jan, for taking the time to see Guapa today! Jan posted on Facebook –
“Guapa – who knew what a gem was hiding behind that exuberant greeting!”
“What a lovely time, what a terrific dog! For those of you who don’t know her she is a dog that takes some patience – at least that is what I thought. Due to our wonderful fellow volunteer Katie Mason I decided to take some time getting to know Guapa. Now I love, love, love her. She is one of those dogs who is jumpy in her run, so excited to see you she can’t help but give you love nips. Well, I am here to tell you that when you get this girl out and spend time with her she is WONDERFUL. She loves riding in the car and sits nicely just like an angel. Take her in a room and she is quickly learning to settle down, already learning little nips do not get her what she wants – which is love. Thank you Katie for teaching me a wonderful lesson –
Spend a little time with the ones you think are too much and you learn they just are desperate for love and attention.”
Thank you Jan for sharing some of your love and attention with Guapa – She’s so happy that you did!

Meet Quincey – a Sponsor dog!
Not all dogs at the Sanctuary are ready for that next step of a ‘forever home’ and need some extra time with experienced loving caregivers.
A $25/month Sponsorship donation (or a one-time $300 payment) via Mackenzie’s Animal Sanctuary helps us to care for one of these dogs for one month (or one year). For Sponsoring a dog you’ll receive:
A photo and biography about your sponsored dog
A certificate documenting your sponsorship
Quincey was found tied up to one of the barns at Mackenzie’s one cold winter morning – and he was not happy about that! It took our Staff and Volunteers several hours to calm him down to get close enough to bring him inside.
Quincey now allows Staff and special Volunteers to spend time with him. He loves to show off how well he can sit, shake, sit pretty, roll over and lay down – he is very smart! Since it takes a while for Quincey to warm up to new people, it has been very hard to find a family who understands his personality and needs. But we will never stop working with him, loving him and maybe one day finding a forever home just right for Quincey!
Help us help dogs like Quincey by Sponsoring a Sanctuary sweetheart today!
