My story

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

Meet Malachi, a 10 month old Malamute mix boy whose bright spirit shines through his tough beginnings. This handsome boy came to Animal Control when his former owner could no longer care for him, and despite that challenging start, Malachi has remained nothing but loving, gentle, and eager to bond. He’s steadily gaining weight and growing healthier each day, all while showing us just how sweet and affectionate he truly is.Because Malachi was previously left outdoors to find his own food, he’s still learning his manners and how to navigate life inside a home. His perfect adopters will be patient, intentional, and ready to guide him with consistency and love as he discovers his place in the world.Malachi will thrive in a single-family home with a fully enclosed privacy fence, giving him a safe space to play and explore. He will also need a younger, highly active household—one committed to daily movement and structure. Simply letting him into the backyard won’t be enough for this energetic boy; Malachi needs long, purposeful walks or runs to keep both his mind and body engaged.Because he is a Siberian Husky through and through, extensive breed experience is essential for his adopters. Malachi is wonderfully playful with other dogs, so if you already have canine companions, we will arrange a meet-and-greet here at Animal Control once your application is approved.Malachi is currently available as a foster-to-adopt candidate until his scheduled neuter appointment.His adoption fee is $225.As we aren`t sure of Malachi`s experience with cats, we recommend against a home with cats as the breed is typically highly prey-driven. However, as he is younger, you may be able to introduce him slowly with supervised introductions. If you’re ready for adventure, companionship, and the joy of helping a truly special dog bloom, Malachi is waiting to meet you.

If you are interested in adopting me or another homeless pet at Macomb County Animal Control, walk-in adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 10am-4pm.

My adoption fee is $225
