In the shelter’s words
Meet Oakley! At 3½ years old, this gorgeous girl has already proven that she’s one heck of a mama. Oakley came all the way from Mississippi, where she gave birth to her eight babies underneath a tree during a heat wave. Imagine bringing eight tiny humans into the world in that kind of heat! This girl deserves a lifetime of air conditioning, cozy beds, and unlimited belly rubs for everything she’s been through.Now it’s Oakley’s turn to be someone’s baby. Oakley is as sweet and loving as they come. She’s eager to please, wants to make her people happy, and would probably sell her soul for a good belly rub. Seriously, if belly rubs were a full-time job, she’d be employee of the month every single month.And can we talk about that coat?! Her beautiful black fur has gorgeous chestnut highlights that shimmer in the sunlight, giving her a little extra sparkle. She’s basically autumn wrapped up in a dog-shaped package. Oakley gets along well with other dogs, kids, and adult cats. Little kittens, however, make her a bit stressed, so she’d prefer a home with adult feline roommates only, please.After raising eight babies in the Mississippi heat, Oakley has earned the right to be spoiled rotten. She’s ready to trade her days of worrying about her puppies for a life filled with love, soft places to nap, family adventures, and all the belly rubs her heart desires.Could you be the happily-ever-after Oakley has been waiting for? She’s spent enough time taking care of everyone else. Now it’s her turn to be loved, cherished, and reminded every single day that she’s finally home. Apply today at Maybelslegacy.org

A Step-by-step guide for prospective adopters Complete the Adoption Application Once you’ve identified an animal(s) you’re interested in, please fill out our adoption application. This helps us understand your home, lifestyle, and expectations so we can ensure a safe, appropriate match. Speak With an Adoption Team Member for Meet & Greet Once your application is approved, a team member will reach to discuss the animal’s needs, your household, and any questions you may have. If you haven’t yet spent time with the animal, we’ll arrange a meet-and-greet. This is your chance to interact, observe behavior, and make sure the connection feels right. Review and Sign the Adoption Agreement If the match is approved, we will walk you through the Adoption Agreement. This document outlines care expectations, veterinary requirements, and the shared commitment between you and Maybel’s Legacy. If the animal is not yet ready for adoption we will allow you to complete an intent to adopt that will allow us to hold this animal for you until they are ready with the collection of the adoption fee. Set up the Date to Finalize We do not like to send our babies directly home with the adopter post-op. Post-op stress is hard enough; adapting to a new environment just adds stress. We will arrange a time to finalize the adoption and allow you to get your baby home no later than that same Saturday. Pay the Adoption Fee The adoption fee supports medical care, supplies, and the ongoing work of rescuing and rehabilitating animals. Fees vary by animal and are non-refundable. Prepare for Going Home Once the agreement and fee are complete, we’ll provide transition guidance and any available records or supplies. We encourage adopters to plan for a calm, quiet first few days to help their new companion settle in. Post-Adoption Support Our relationship doesn’t end at adoption. We remain available for questions, updates, and support. You’ll receive follow-up communication from our team to en
