Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Nashoba (means black wolf as she was born all black) is an almost 2 yr old, small Alaskan Malamute who was owner surrendered. Both parents are good size mals but her growth was stunted due to a leg/paw being born backwards and needing surgery. She has an occasional limp but other than that she runs and plays like a normal dog. She looks bigger than her 45-50lbs. She and her parents lived outside and her mom didn't let her eat much so she's a little food possessive but she is doing much better with that now that she's been in a foster home who is working with her on it. And of course she's high heartworm positive! Fortunately they did have her spayed so it's one positive. She is super sweet and loving with humans and gets along with other dogs. She will be available for adoption after she completes her heartworm treatment which is estimated to be early April.
If you are interested in pursuing an adoption and you live in Texas , please complete the application (links provided below). The process includes a vet check, calling references and doing a home visit.

Please note the following:
We rarely do out of state adoptions. (Exceptions can be discussed but will be based on previous big dog experience and will require same adoption process.)
Children in the home or that visit often must be at least 6 years of age. (Exceptions can be discussed but will be based on previous big dog experience.)
Adoption donation is due at the time of adoption. Puppies under 1 year are $300. Dogs 1 year to 7 years are $200 and dogs over 7 years are $150. As this is a donation, it will be non-returnable if dog is returned to rescue.
Dogs are not placed on a "first come, first serve" basis but rather the best home for the dog.
All dogs placed by TSDR will be:
spayed/neutered
vaccinated for distemper/parvo, rabies, and bordetella
heartworm tested and treated if needed
microchipped
other vetting as deemed needed
New owners will receive copies of all available vet information and must agree to keep them current on all of the above.
