Cola still ‘happy as ever’!

PUPDATE:  Erin sent us this update on Cola, adopted three years ago from Mackenzie’s. Thanks Erin!  So glad Cola has become such a big part of the family!

“Hello Mackenzie’s, Cola here!! I’ve been at my forever home just over 3 years now and I’m still happy as ever!!  I have a “little” sister (she’s much bigger than me) who I love playing with and sharing bones with!  It’s nice because she starts chewing my bones to soften them up for me and then let’s me take over.  I’m very loved!  Every night I sleep in my human sisters bed and make sure she keeps warm as she sleeps!  I want to say thank you for rescuing me so I could find my furever home!!  Xoxo!”  – Cola

Are you looking for that special dog to complete your family?  If so, please contact our Adoption Coordinator, Tommie, at 616-693-2490 today!  We have lots of wonderful dogs like Cola waiting… waiting for you?

Say Cheese!

Who can ‘fetch’ the winning photo?

A big thanks to our Volunteer Coordinator, Shauna, for kicking off the New Year with a ‘Doggie Selfie Contest’!  Volunteers are encouraged to send in their selfies with Sanctuary dogs all month for our enjoyment and to possibly win a prize!  The winner will receive a MAS tee shirt and a $25 giftcard!

Rules: They must include themselves in the photo with a current Mackenzie’s dog, taken between January 1st and January 31st, 2015.  Points will be awarded for creativity of photo, activity that you and the dog are doing, and overall cuteness!

Here are some samples Shauna posted with Badger and Payton to kick things off!  Love the kisses from Badger and smiles with Payton!

We are super excited to see what our creative Volunteer’s come up with!  Just check out a few of our awesome entries so far:

Volunteer Anne posted “A Happy New Year Selfie with Jean Luc” Isn’t he the cutest? I think the treats help 🙂

Shelly and Huck – what a sweet boy, love the heart!

Kisses are always a part of a good selfie!

Squeaky enjoyed his camera time too!

A very special selfie of Nicole and Ariel, her adopted doggie, on their way to her new Forever Home!

More Selfie updates later this week so keep snapping those photos! It’s not to late to capture the winning image!

Welcome back Steph and family!

We love it when old friends return!

Steph used to be a Staff member and we have missed her since she left.  We are so excited she has returned as a Volunteer and brought back her awesome kiddos, Marlee & Chase as well!
