My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Minnie came to us from a local shelter after she was dropped off by her family who no longer wanted her. Minnie is around three years old but is all puppy at heart. Minnie is sweet and very strong. Life is very exciting and she is ready to explore! She is working on her leash skills but she says it's hard being a malamute built to pull sleds! She would be great at skijoring and is ready for the cold weather. She will need someone that can continue to work with her on her leash skills and living in a home again.

Minnie is crate trained and very respectful. She would love to be where you are and be involved in anything you are doing. She loves her toys and chasing balls although she hasn't mastered the fetch and return part, lol. She is smart and ready to learn new tricks.

Additional adoption info

Here are three great links that have a very honest description of Alaskan Malamutes: http://www.yourpurebredpuppy.com/reviews/alaskanmalamutes.html and https://dogtime.com/dog-breeds/alaskan-malamute#/slide/1 and also http://eqi.org/malamute.htm.  

Please review them carefully before submitting your application.  After you return the application, we'll give you a call to schedule a home visit, and we will also call the vet indicated on your application for a reference. After that we will schedule your home visit. Once your home visit is done and you are approved to adopt, you get to meet the dog(s) that are right for your family and hopefully bring one home.  Please note, we require that you bring your current dogs with you when you come to meet a dog(s) to adopt.
