    How to adopt from Maybel's Legacy

    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

Adopting a dog in Schoolcraft

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
