Directions
Please note that all visits to the Sanctuary are by appointment only. We do not do "same day" adoptions and our Kennels are not open to the public.
If you are interested in adopting a dog from Mackenzie's Animal Sanctuary, the first step is to complete the online Adoption Survey.
If you have further questions, you can call the Sanctuary at (616) 693-2490, Tuesday–Saturday from 9:30am – 4:30pm and our office staff will be happy to assist you.
