This BIG handsome fellow is Shadow! He is 3 years old, and found himself left at animal control when his owner “moved to a place that doesn’t accept pets”. Shadow knows a few tricks, and has been very clean in his kennel (we were told he was kept mostly outside) so he appears to be housebroken. He is new to us, so we don’t yet know how he might be with other dogs, but he did not fence fight at AC, so he may be good with a doggie friend (female most likely). He is VERY strong, and needs some leash manners (we are working on that!) Shadow needs a home with strong, savvy malamute people, and no small children – while he is friendly with them, he could easily knock over and injure small kids unintentionally.
If you are interested in this dog, or any of our other dogs, please go to www.iamra.org and fill out an online application.

Adopting a Malamute is a serious commitment, requiring both financial stability and consistent living arrangements. IAMRA does not adopt to anyone under the age of 21. Although we rarely adopt to persons under 25, these applicants will be considered on a case-by-case basis
We require that you fill out our Adoption Application on our website, www.iamra.org, if you are interested in adopting. We are happy to answer any questions you may have, about our policies in general, or specific dogs available, once we have a completed form. Dogs are placed based upon personality matches with the prospective adoptive persons/families. Adoptions are handled on a first come, first served basis. All adoptions are based upon approval by the IAMRA Board of Directors. We reserve the right to refuse adoptors. IAMRA serves Illinois and portions of some bordering states.
Each Alaskan Malamute has a modest
adoption fee.
Our dogs are temperament tested. We can give you information about the dogs likes and dislikes, level of alpha behavior, and level of socialization and training AFTER receiving an application.
