My story

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

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

SHADOW is a striking snow-colored boy who loves to sing, go on walks and get lots of pets from his humans.  He is friendly with people and loves coming in close for the Malamute lean. He may get along with a calm dog,  recently lived with another dog.

SHADOW is a smart boy who learns quickly, especially liking a routine.  He knows; sit, stay, down, come, outside, treat, eat and walk.  He waits for his food until a command is given.  He will come ant tell you if he needs more water or to be let outside, leading the way to the door.  

SHADOW is so well behaved that he will not sneak food off the counter or any left out on tables.  He only takes human food if he is told it is OK.   Outside he enjoys relaxing in a yard  and does not dig.  He likes taking walks, is curious when he sees other dogs in the neighborhood, but does not react to them.

Unfortunately, SHADOW's current owner must find him a new home due to unforseen circumstances.  He is very loved and the king of his current home.  It would be wonderful for his new home to appreciate his goofiness and continuing making him feel like a special boy.

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.
