About Oaklyn

Make their next chapter their best one yet. Oaklyn is a striking, mostly white husky mix who captures hearts with her unique eyes—one blue, one brown. As an adult weighing about 44 lbs, Oaklyn has a gentle medium-length coat and a calm presence. She would thrive best in a home without children. For her safety and happiness, a fenced yard is required. Every adopted animal here is spayed or neutered before heading home, and Oaklyn is no exception. If you’re from out of the area, please be aware that a second visit will be necessary to complete her adoption, as animals cannot be held under any circumstances. The rescue does not place emotional support or service animals and cannot approve adoptions to college students, though volunteering is always welcomed. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
