PLEASE SPONSOR ME!Silver dog is an adult male. Silver is current on his shots, great on a leash, loves the car, good with dogs, was boarded with another and no food fights. Silver comes from a collector who had 35 dogs at the time officials stepped in and took the dogs. Silver is in good health and a beautiful dog who loves to play and loves to talk. Wooo Woo Woooo! Silver is housebroken and goes to the door when he needs out. Silver also does not have one aggressive bone in his body and is reported by his foster family to be nothing but a happy go lucky boy. Silver is also GREAT with kids, check out his photo album to see Silver lounging with the family and boys at his foster home.
Are you my new family? Will you take me to my new forever home?
Silver is fostered in Spokane, WA. Transport might be available to the Puget Sound area.
Update: Thanks to a generous donation this surgery is now fully funded! A previous adopter Rex, who adopted Kweebo, has sent in full payment for Silvers surgery. Thank-you so very much Rex!
Silver needs your help! He has huge double rear dew claws that get caught on things and in the crusty snow causing him much discomfort. Surgery to have them removed will cost $125. Since this is not life threatening, we cannot use our meager and hard earned rescue funds to help with this. You directed contribution could make this happen for Silver and increase his quality of life as he waits to be adopted. Please consider making a donation to Silver

Phage LOVES to be with people. He has not challenged any fencing and appears to do well with other dogs his size, either sex. No cats. Phage is located in Arlington, WA. If interested in Phage, please contact Angela Horn at 360-403-0206.
Denali is a young adult, neutered, black/white. He is a big/long boy weighing in at 110+lbs. His rabies are current, but he does need his annual boosters updated. He knows some basic obedience: sit, come and walks on leash, but does pull a bit (like any good Malamute!). Denali is also housebroken and crate trained. He can be a bit anxious when riding in a vehicle. He is not an escape artist, but will roam given the opportunity.
Denalis owner says he LOVES cats (he was raised with them) and he is friendly with other dogs if they are friendly to him.
Denali is afraid of children and shy with people he does not know. Once his trust has been gained, he does well with the people he knows. While his owner got him when he was only 3 months old, this is something he has not overcome so she feels _something_ happened to him before she got him.
The family adopting Denali will need to have patience with him while he adjusts to his new life. They will need to be willing to earn his trust; once gained they will have a friend for life!
A fenced yard is required - no kennels. Denalis owner will select his new home. SPDR will provide assistance in initial screening and home check.
Denali is living with his family in Renton, WA

Tocla ended up in rescue by no fault of her own. Their owner was taken to a nursing home and she had no caregiver any longer. She had been neglected for some time before people realized her caregiver was no longer capable. Tocla is somewhat dog aggressive but VERY loving to people. She needs a home SOON. How can you resist her face?
Tocla is located in Spokane, WA at the Spokane Humane Society. If you are interested in her please contact them at animals@spokanehumanesociety.org
PLEASE SPONSOR ME!Bear has been adopted by his foster family
Bear is WONDERFUL with children and with all people and is very good with other dogs as well. He loves life, attention, walks, his kennel-mates - just everything! Bear is an agile boy just ready to help motivate you to get out and take those walks you've been meaning to! He knows sit and down, and will even actually sit - well - if you have cookies for him! He is a good looking young guy with some of the silkiest fur around, a gorgeous tail and a bright, bright face. Bear has one of the easiest, happiest personalities going - he just personifies some of the best traits in this great breed. And you will love him. Bear is being fostered in the Maple Valley Area
Dakota has some special needs. Physically he is in good shape but he appears to be suffering from possible early abuse. He can be schizzy about things. He panics over thunder and fireworks and is relentless in his drive for safety. He can also destroy leashes if tied out alone and seems to think he needs to bury his food. Things like that. His confidence has grown in foster care and we are checking him out to see how he handles change. He wants so much to belong and we think he needs attention.
Dakota is currently being fostered in Cle Elum, WA.

This boy is currently being held at the King County Animal Control Kent, WA facility.

PLEASE SPONSOR ME!This girl was released by her owner as they had to keep her in a small kennel and we never had time for her. Being dumped at the county shelter could be the best thing that ever happened to this girl. She now has a second chance for a real life. One where people love her and make her part of the family, or at least give her room to run and play. She is friendly and LOVED the play area and her walk. Unknown with cats or other dogs at this point. Shaunton is fostered in the Spokane area.
PLEASE SPONSOR ME!Argus is thought to be around 2-3 yrs old. He is neutered, vaccines are current, he has been wormed and microchipped. He does well on leash, knows some simple commands and rides well in the car. He LOVES to play with other dogs - boys or girls! And he does not seem too interested in cats - he does become alert and wants to chase if the cat runs. Unknown with children at this time. He is a real loveable boy. Very calm and relaxed. He was able to walk right into his foster moms pack with no problems. Someone put a LOT of time into socializing this boy! All this boy needs is a good brushing and a loving active family and he will be as happy as can be! A secure yard is a must and a canine companion is preferred as Argus really enjoys having a buddy. Argus is being fostered in Puyallup, WA.
The adoption of this dog is being handled by Seattle Purebred Dog Rescue (SPDR). If you are interested in adopting this dog, please visit the SPDR website at www.spdrdogs.org and complete the Adoption Application and Terms of Adoption and mail to SPDR with the required processing fee.
Spice is fostered in the Monroe, WA.
Katie is very *young* senior with lots of energy and TONS of love to give.
She knows how to sit and give her paw. She wags and smiles when she sees you. She has all her beauty. Katie needs a place to live out the rest of her years. She is in good health and spayed. She shows aggression toward some other dogs, in typical malamute fashion. She loves people. A home without very young children is recommended since she is older and wary of being hurt.
Katie is presently being fostered in Olympia, WA. Transport is available to the Puget Sound area.
Update: Merrilee Carey has donated enough funds that we were able to get Katie into the vet for further tests and have discovered thankfully that the growth is not cancerous and that removal is not necessary! :) If it continues to bother her we will ask again for remainder donations to cover the remainder of the cost. Diana Reitz has generously begun with a donation to that fund. But for now, she is healthy and should continue to live out the rest of her years hopefully adopted soon to her forever home. Thank you Merrilee and Diana!
Kola is a delight - great with kids, other dogs, and easy to work with. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, housebroken, knows basic commands and is eager to learn more. Kola can be seen in Maple Valley only for the next couple of weeks and after that she may be headed back to Walla Walla so meet her while you can! Kola is currently being fostered in Cle Elum, WA.
PLEASE SPONSOR ME!Enya is terrifically sweet and the typical Mal in her reactions to people. Loving but stubborn, learns quickly. Her temporary home said she loves kids - to the point that she dug out to run greet them at the bus stop. Enya gets along well with other dogs and is definitely just a big puppy. They also have an outdoor cat who runs INTO the backyard where Enya and a big black lab are and sits on top of the dog house. The cat and Enya just sit and look at each other.
Enya is actually a light sable even though her pictures all look gray. Enya currently weights about 70-75 lbs, but should probably be around 85-90 when fully grown and fully nourished. Enya may still have some growing to do - hard to say. Enya is still coming into her coat and is not really a woolly right now, but will have a slightly longer coat. Enya seems to be quite the young gal.
Note: Enya is not quite ready for adoption. She was badly undernourished and still needs to be spayed. Enya will most likely be ready for adoption in early May.
This girl is very people friendly, rides in a car well, always ready to _go_, tolerates cats, knows sit, down, and loves to be brushed. She is not food protective. She is a sweet dog that would probably fit most people's wants in a malamute. She is housetrained and enjoys being in the house. Of course, she thinks she is a couch potato! As with most malamutes, we would not recommend that she be placed in a home where she would be unsupervised with small dogs or other small animals. She gets along with most of her foster owners other malamutes, except for one, so she, again like most malamutes, can be choosy about her friends.
She is currently being fostered in the Spokane area.
PLEASE SPONSOR ME!Tipo (The i should be pronounced as a long E) is a beautiful gray/white boy with LOTS of energy! His foster mom reports that he plays very nicely with two of her female Malamutes, one of which is older, and does not appear to be concerned about other dogs. He has shown some interest in cats, but so far so good. Tipo enjoys sitting on your feet and being close as much as possible. Tipo is a young adult and still has some growing/learning to do. His foster mom currently has him enrolled in obedience classes and he is doing very well! Tipo would do well in an active home where he can have lots of attention. A securely fenced yard is a must. Tipo is being fostered in Burlington, WA (south of Bellingham).
The adoption of this dog is being handled by Seattle Purebred Dog Rescue (SPDR). If you are interested in adopting this dog, please visit the SPDR website at www.spdrdogs.org and complete the Adoption Application and Terms of Adoption and mail to SPDR with the required processing fee.
PLEASE SPONSOR ME!Sitka is a young female who was turned into the Kent Shelter. Sitka is the typical Mal puppy, full of energy and wanting to go Go GO! If your looking for a running companion or other playmate full of love and energy Sitka is your gal! Sitka did just great on leash and being groomed, and is the first to tell you when it's time to go run and play with that beautiful Malamute Woo Woo Wooooo! Sitka is a Alpha female, and has some issues with needing companionship, however she can be a bit picky as to who she associates with in the animal world. Sitka would do best being adopted into a home with another Malamute or doggy companion.
Sitka is currently being boarded in Maple Valley, WA

PLEASE SPONSOR ME!Blizzard, a big black and white young Male, is a great boy! Blizzard is a big love bug, preferring to lean into you and gaze up at you more than almost anything else in life! Blizzard was recently fixed, so if your looking for a young male Mal to add to your family, here is your new boy! Blizzard walks great on leash, takes treats VERY gently, and stood perfectly still while being groomed.

PLEASE SPONSOR ME!Larry is a handsome black/white boy, neutered, current on his shots and microchipped. He is described by his previous owner as being good with adults and children. He was raised with an 11yr old and 13yr old. He was also raised with a kitty and appears to accept them. Larry does well with other dogs as well. Larry knows some basic obedience commands including hand signals. He rides wonderfully in the car - preferring the front seat! And he is house trained and used to sleeping in the house at night. His previous owner says he is a very loving and laid back boy. He likes his toys, his blanket and pig ears for a treat! Larry is not a candidate for a farm - he will eat chickens and rabbits and he will chase larger livestock. Secure fencing is a must! Larry is being cared for in Maple Valley, WA.

PLEASE SPONSOR ME!Jetta, was a year old in November, weighs over 100 pounds. She is an incredibly happy dog as evidenced by her constant wagging! Jetta wants desperately to be loved and tries to be affectionate but she is still a puppy in a very big body and does not really know how to channel her energy. She tends to get excited easily and can be very pushy! She will sit and down, but is quite strong and needs an experienced hand on the end of a leash.
As a result of having had four homes in her short life Jetta demonstrates some degree of separation anxiety. Understandably, she does not like to be left alone and her first choice is always to be with the humans. Although she was debarked in one of those homes the procedure was not 100% successful and she is quite capable of making her intentions known! She loves to ride in the car, is very good in the house, is housebroken and crate trained. She also LOVES the water and is an excellent swimmer!
Jetta has a strong prey drive and has already gotten into trouble for killing chickens. Although she does get along with the occasional male dog, Jetta has shown signs of aggression towards female dogs and animals smaller than her (which is most of them!) She will definitely go after cats.
If Jetta could write her own adoption notice it might read:
WANTED:
Young, strong, adult human to share life with young, strong adult malamute.
No other animals or small children please. Must have a fenced yard.
Must like the outdoors and the water.
If you work from home, or can take me with you to work, I would like that a bunch! Must be patient and kind and want to keep me forever.
Jetta would be a perfect only pet for someone looking for an unusually loyal malamute companion. Her new family will need patience with this bundle of energy, but she should be well worth the effort. Jetta is currently fostered in Bend, OR.
Raven is house trained and will let you know when he needs to go out but typically prefers to be outdoors. When he comes in the house he usually only wants to stay indoors for 30 minutes or so at a time before telling you he wants back out. Raven is used to being in a large chain link kennel with a dog house at night and during the day being free to roam in his fenced back yard. Raven, like most Mals, does tend to dig when he is bored and he has been know to chew on a few kid toys if they are left within reach and unattended. Raven actually likes to carry stuffed animals around the house.
Raven has been camping a few times and rides in the truck very well, even for extended periods of time. Raven is a very social boy and would do best in a home with at least one more large dog to keep him company.
Raven is currently living with his family in Black Diamon, WA while looking for his new home.
PLEASE SPONSOR ME!Kia is a beautiful sweet girl in need of a home with a very secure yard. She is spayed, current on her vaccines, wormed and microchipped. She LOVES to be brushed and go for walks. She rides well in the car and is a dream on leash - just give her the lead and off she goes! Kia is housetrained and used to being an indoor/outdoor dog. Her previous life included other dogs and children over 11 yrs old. She can play rough so probably would do best with dogs her size. No cats. Kia will dig if left alone in a small confined area. She would probably do best in a family where she has a buddy or where her people are not away for real long periods of time. Kia is being cared for in Maple Valley, WA.
The adoption of this dog is being handled by Seattle Purebred Dog Rescue (SPDR). If you are interested in adopting this dog, please visit the SPDR website at www.spdrdogs.org and complete the Adoption Application and Terms of Adoption and mail to SPDR with the required processing fee.
Girls Day Out - Volunteer Sylvia had this to say about her recent visit with Kia:
I picked Kia up today and we went for a several mile walk on the Preston trail in the pouring rain. She was enjoying herself so much that I had fun too, even though we both got soaked. As soon as she was back in the car I noticed she smelled horrible. I took her to The Grooming Spa where I take my two and gave her a bath. She also had her ears cleaned and got a good brushing too. She was such a good girl the whole time although she hated the dryer so that part was time consuming.
We left the spa and it was off to Petco to pick out some goodies and a stuffed toy. While in Petco she was the perfect lady. She now has a soft squeaky pig friend named Wilbur staying in her kennel with her. We also got her a name tag and put that and her rabies tag on her collar.
She slept in the crate the entire way back to Maple Valley. I think it's safe to say that 'Girls day out' was a success!
