My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

HADES is patiently watching the world go by, waiting for the day his forever family comes to bring him home. Could that be you? This sweet, gentle boy absolutely thrives on human attention and affection. He may look a bit like a cattle dog, but don’t be fooled—his heart and personality are pure Malamute.

He recently lived in an apartment, but HADES is much happier in a quieter, more peaceful setting. City noise isn’t his thing, but give him a scenic walk, a forest trail, or a calm neighborhood stroll and he lights right up. And if you crack the car windows and invite him along for an adventure? Even better.

HADES is incredibly smart and has an impressive vocabulary. He knows all the basics—sit, down, stay—but he also knows the fun stuff: hug, kiss, cuddle, dance, and even go through, where he zips through your legs like a furry little tunnel runner. He loves engaging with his humans and will happily play and interact for hours.

Even as a mature boy, HADES still has plenty of puppy energy. He gets along well with large dogs and may enjoy having a canine companion, but he’d also be perfectly content as the only dog in the home—he loves his people so much that he doesn’t always want to share them.

HADES is currently being spoiled with love by his foster family in Shoreline, WA. His dream home is quiet, cozy, and full of affection—a place where he can relax, play, snuggle in your bed, and feel like your number‑one priority.

Honestly, describing all of HADES’ wonderful qualities would take pages. He’s that special.

Additional adoption info

We ask for a minimum adoption donation of $500 which is tax deductible as we are a federally approved 501(c)3 charity.
We have fencing and/or kennel requirements as malamutes can not be trusted to not roam.

We are looking for forever homes for our rescue dogs, and homechecks will be performed for all adopters, no exceptions. We love these dogs, and want what is best for them, we assume our adopters would want the same. Plus, the homecheck lets everyone meet each other, get to ask and answer questions, and make sure we match the right dog for the right family for that perfect match that will last a lifetime!

WAMAL is strictly internet based. Most of all our correspondence will be via email, typically during the odd hours of the night that our volunteers are able to donate time. The dogs in our rescue are taken into the homes and lives of our volunteers, there is no shelter to visit. There is no phone number to call. We are sorry for this, but with over 200 volunteers and over 100 dogs a year, there just is not an easy way to coordinate a statewide rescue other than through email.

More about this rescue

WAMAL was formed in 1998 to help with Malamute Rescue in the greater NorthWest area to cover rescue needs outside of the scope of Seattle Purebred Dog Rescue by Cindy Neely. Since that time we have rescued on average between 70 and 100 Malamutes a year and have rescued hundreds to date. While none of this would have originally happened without a small few, it's the numerous (but sometimes still too few) volunteers that make rescue happen. Our volunteers come from all walks of life and locations. Most are already overworked and too busy in their personal lives to start, but donating their time to rescue truly is what makes it possible to save the lives of this gentle and loving working breed... our Mals. The pride (and pain) of our lives.
