PLEASE SPONSOR ME!Shiloh is a big, beautiful pure white pup that just wants to be loved. She is shy and reserved, cautious, calm, curious, and once comfortable in the home can be playful and affectionate. Shiloh loves to dig in the cool dirt, chase birds and squirrels and eat snow. She knows sit, come, wait, okay and eh em which means no. She can do a 30 second sit stay which is pretty good for a Mal her age. She needs work on walking on a leash because until she got to her foster home she had never been on one. She is slowly learning by going for walks from the front yard to the back yard! Shiloh is almost house trained thanks to her foster family, and loves to be in the house more than anything. She plays well with her foster sister Mal.
The best home for Shiloh would be a quiet loving home with someone home most of the time. She wouldn't do well in a house that is Grand Central Station. She would be best with older children that would be quiet and respectful of her. Once she learns to walk on the leash she would like to go on daily walks and maybe do a little camping and hiking. Shiloh is unknown with cats as she has never lived with any, and she is doing well playing with her foster sister although she tends to be the alpha of the two.
If you think you have the perfect loving home for Shiloh, please fill out an online application and we will schedule your home visit as soon as possible.
Shiloh is being cared for in Edmonds, WA.
PLEASE SPONSOR ME!Dakota is a very, very sweet boy that is full of energy and get up and go! He knows all the basics such as sit, shake, lay down, take nice, he takes treats very gently, and the Malamute stay...when he feels like it. He loves his ears and tummy scratched and will fetch a ball if not distracted. He rides very well in the car and sometimes leans around and gives you a kiss. Dakota is new and just out of the shelter so we don't know how he is with kids or cats yet. Until we find a foster home for him he is kenneled next to Annabelle, a female Mal, and they seem to get along just fine.
If you would like to meet Dakota or any of our other beautiful Mals here, please fill out an application and we will schedule your home visit as soon as possible.
Dakota is being cared for in Kent, WA.
LOOKING FOR FOSTER HOMES! If you have experience with Malamutes or other stubborn large breed dogs, and would like to provide temporary housing, please fill out our on line Foster home application. Help keep Mals like Annabelle and Dakota out of commercial kennels while they wait for the right home!
PLEASE SPONSOR ME!This young girl is adorable. She will run right up to you at full speed and flop over on her back all in one motion just to get a belly rub.
Not the largest of Malamutes but still fairly tall. She weighs in at about 80 pounds and likely will add a few more over the next several months. She is short some hair due to a recent pregnancy and improper diet but her coat is starting to come back in and she will look outstanding when it does.
She is very good with food showing no protection issues and takes treats gently even from my 5 year old son.
She understands sit, down and no sometimes but only uses her understanding when it suits her. She does well in the kennel when she has to be kenneled however she generally has the run of the yard and has been good when left out all day. Sapling trees should be wary of her though.
This loving girl is house trained and routinely stays in for 8 to 9 hours at a time and has over more than a month never had an accident inside the house. She gets along great with kids but can be a bit pushy for attention so little kids will need supervision around her.
She walks well on a leash with an adult and my 10 year old daughter. She generally ignores other dogs she meets while on a walk. She also does a good job of ignoring the neighbors dogs. She is generally very quite, seldom talks and almost never barks.
She gets along well with male dogs that are her size. For over a week she was housed with/around a 12 year old Siberian male who was comparable to her height although a little lighter and she was quite respectful of the old guy. One note to this is that this was about the only time that she barked or talked excessively and it was always during feeding time and they were always fed separately.
She has never really challenged the fence here although with enough motivation she might, she is interested in squirrels and cats and has managed to tree several squirrels but as of now has not quite been fast enough to catch one.
She would really like an active home with kids.
Miyah is being cared for in Richland, WA
PLEASE SPONSOR ME!Buddy is great with other dogs, and loves to let out a bark or two when he's ready to play. He is in a new foster home where he is getting used to using the stairs, and he's coming around to the elevator too. Buddy loves to go on walks and play with his furry friends. He has shown to be good in the house unsupervised, and is happy to be an indoor dog until an outdoor play time comes along. Buddy was dropped off at the shelter by owners that could no longer care for him. He is unknown with cats or kids, but like we said, he seems to love other dogs.
Buddy will make a good older mellow dog for someone who likes to relax and take a short walk every day. If you would like to meet Buddy, please fill out an application and we will schedule your home visit as soon as possible.
Buddy is being cared for in Seattle, WA.
PLEASE SPONSOR ME!Wow, Jessie is a very pretty redhead with golden eyes and floppy ears. she is a real sweetheart. She has lost her home/family through no fault of her own. Her owners divorced and went their separate ways into apartments that do not allow dogs. Jessie is crate trained and rides well in a car. She walks pretty well on leash and gets along with children of all ages. Cats are unknown at this point, but her foster mom will let us know soon. Pretty Jessie gets along with male dogs. Females not so much. She definitely wants to be the alpha. She is a talker, loves to tell you what went on today and when it's time to eat. She is a talker, loves to tell you what went on today, when it's time to eat, when it's time for a walk, and when she would prefer to ride in the car. She is accustomed to accompanying her owners many places.
If you think this sweet girl sounds like the perfect match for you, please fill out an application and we will get your home visit scheduled as soon as possible.

PLEASE SPONSOR ME!Update: Shebas foster mom wants everyone to know that this young lady is IN LOVE with Children!! She absolute came alive when she encountered a group of three children, the youngest aged 3. She wagged her tail uproariously, talked continuously, licked hands and was most age-appropriate even with the 3 year old. She was so subdued after they left, that her foster mom thinks she might be MOST happy with children in her life. As with all dogs, she should never be left alone with the little ones, but Oh!, what a wonderful lifetime dog she would make for some lucky child!
Sheba is a gentle, quiet, girl. A lover, not a fighter, she has a slightly reserved demeanor that tolerates small dogs and large dogs in groups, but really would prefer you all to herself or maybe with one other canine companion. Cats are unknown. She is far from an alpha, and displays submissive behavior around most dogs.
Sheba has the most beautiful soulful eyes. Sheba is a fast learner, conquering healing while on her walk in a matter of minutes. She is housebroken with regular potty breaks, returning to the exact same spot every time. She likes beef rib bones & has a gentle mouth to receive treats. She is good with older kids, and if you want to steal her heart give her a greeting with an opened mouth smile. Sheba loves brushing and combing with a paddle brush and a dog comb, and also her sherpa cushion to sleep on. Mostly she loves lots of stroking of her soft, silky coat while she lays at your feet.
Sheba would work well for a single adult, or family with older children, and is definitely not an outdoor girl. An apartment, or condo is possible, or home with yard would suit her just fine too.
If you would like to meet Sheba and give her a forever home with lots of love, please fill out an application and we will schedule your home visit as soon as possible.
Sheba is currently being fostered in Puyallup, WA.
PLEASE SPONSOR ME!Kihei can be reserved and shy when you first meet him but once he determines he is saif, he is a complete love - the Flop-on-the-back-for-Belly-rubs type of dog.
He is a gorgeous young dog who needs to fill out some. Tall and lanky but with big snowshoe feet and and active and curious nature. He loves to play, like most of our youngsters, and is good with dogs of both sexes. One of his photo album pictures shows him with his foster mom and playmate.
Kihei has a great coat for snow and will be a wonderful companion for outdoor activites - truly wonderful. And he has this one magical thing - he does not walk or trot. He floats.
Kihei is currently being fostered in the Tri-Cities, WA.
PLEASE SPONSOR ME!
Tillman is a very sweet, special needs boy.
Since he is an adult and not some hyperactive puppy, we do not believe he will tear his other ACL.
Tillman will remain in Dayton, WA during the next few weeks as he still needs follow-up care from the vet, suture removal, et cetera. Then our foster homes will fight over who gets him and where Mr. Tillman will spend his Summer Vacation. LOL
Tillmans face makes him look like an elderly overweight dog but a closer investigation tells a different story. Tillman is not overweight - in fact you can feel his ribs and spine. And he is not elderly. He has an overdeveloped chest because he has a knee that has no doubt been bad for some time. Constant pain makes him look older than he is.
Tillman is SOOOOOOO sweet. He is fully as sweet as his face. He will follow you around like a puppy. He does not want to be alone and does not need to be. He is one of those rare mals who could live with a 2 foot fence. He will just plain not leave people who love him and he asks so sweetly to be loved.
But first, Tillman needs knee surgery. And he needs a place to recuperate. Surgery is not cheap! We have a donor angel who will assist but, well, surgery is not cheap. He has an appointment at WSU in early April.
We also need to find him a place to recuperate, with no stairs. That same helper will recuperate him at her home but she has so many dogs and fosters in the summer that another home where he could get more attention might be better. But beware - this dog is hard to give up. See that happy face? That face PERFECTLY describes sweet Mr. Tillman. He is a gem.
PLEASE SPONSOR ME!Skadi is a tall lanky girl with a ton of energy. She walks well on leash, ignoring other dogs, and knows a few basic commands like heel and sit. She will even retrieve a ball if you throw one for her. Skadi loves to have her ears rubbed, and is happy to tell you all about it. She also rolls over easily for tummy rubs. Skadi ended up in a shelter after getting out of her yard and into a little trouble with a neighbors chickens, so she will need a securely fenced yard. We don't have any information on Skadis background with children or cats.
If you would like a high energy girl to join you in running, hiking, biking and playing in the mountains, Skadi may just be the girl for you. If you are interested in meeting her please fill out an application and we will schedule your home visit as soon as possible.
Skadi is being cared for in Cle Elum, WA.
PLEASE SPONSOR ME!Zoe is a beautiful girl who would love a very active lifestyle and some consistent training. She is up for hiking, biking and snowshoeing. Zoe has learned some basic commands in training class and would love to continue her classes just to brush up.
Once Zoe is in the house all she wants to do is crawl up on your lap for love an petting. She forgets she is not a lap dog, but she is just a huge cuddle bug and would like the attention of a family. Zoe likes to explore, so needs a home with a securely fenced yard. She would love daily walks where she can sniff around her neighborhood. Zoe has not lived with cats or other small animals.
Are you a walker, runner, hiker, camper? Zoe is the girl for you. With some basic training she will steal your heart.
If you are interested in Zoe or any of the other beautiful Mals seen here, please fill out the online application and we will schedule your home visit as soon as possible.
Zoe is being cared for in Tacoma, WA.
PLEASE SPONSOR ME!Yoda is all puppy and just wants to play, play, play and please someone...Anyone! This little guy melts your heart with his big smile and his goofy run. Yoda is great with all dogs, even little ones, and he loves people. He is still a sneaky puppy, stealing blankets and chewing on dog beds, but he will grow out of that. He is very prey driven so would need a no cat household or a very slow and careful introduction to cats. On his trips to the dog park with his foster mom and her dogs, he doesn't try to run off because he's having too much fun. He plays hard, rests for a few minutes, then he's up and at it again. He is perfect for those of you looking for a snow dog mix that wants to be active, really knows how to relax afterwards, and is just genuinely happy to hang out with his people. This boy just loves life.
If you would like to meet Yoda or any of the beautiful Mals you see here, please fill out an application and we will schedule your home visit as soon as possible.
Yoda is being fostered in Vancouver, WA.
PLEASE SPONSOR ME!Taska (formerly LingLing) is a delightful, joyous young girl. She is tall, lithe, agile and fast. She is very loving with people she meets, and is wonderful and is very well behaved in the house. Taska is very energetic and appears to be too boisterous for small children. She is picky about her doggie friends, and is not a candidate for a house with cats or other small furry or feathered creatures. Taska needs work on her leash manners, so will benefit from some obedience classes. She should be a fast learner since she is very responsive to love and affection. Taska has a gorgeous sable coat, big snowshoe feet and a head that is now too big for her slender body. She will fill out and grow into that head and will be a stunner. If you would like to meet Taska or any of our other beautiful Mals, please fill out an application and we will schedule your home visit as soon as possible.
Taska is being cared for in Goldendale, WA.
PLEASE SPONSOR ME!Sydney is a sweetheart, her nickname around her foster home is Princess. She is very talkative, and loves people unconditionally. She likes to go for walks, car-rides, play fetch, give hugs and dance. Thats right, dance! She especially loves children, and if she encounters a group of them she will sit in the middle of the group and soak up all the love and pets she can get.
As for other animals, she is very alpha, and has a very strong prey drive. She will need a home with no cats and no smaller dogs. In fact Sydney would like to be an only dog. She prefers to be outdoors, with an occasional short visit into the house. Her health is very good, especially considering her age. Her hips give her a little trouble, so no stairs for her.
She can be very stubborn and demanding, especially around dinner time, hence the nickname princess. She does not dig, except to make her den, nor does she challenge fences. She will take advantage of any open gates though, and go walk-about.
Sydney is being cared for in Seattle, WA. If you are interested in meeting Sydney, please submit an application and we will get your homevisit scheduled ASAP!
